Scottsdale surgeon Dr. Jude LaBarbera performs neck lift surgery to address age-related wrinkling and creasing in the neck zone. Many of his patients are individuals who have lax and sagging neck skin, mostly due to aging or weight loss. Countless men and women in Scottsdale and the surrounding Arizona areas have alleviated their cosmetic concerns and achieved the results they want after our advanced treatment.
In the first week, swelling and bruising are most noticeable but begin to subside gradually. Light activities can usually be resumed within a few days, provided they do not strain the neck or raise blood pressure. Patients may be advised to avoid bending over or turning their head excessively to support healing.
A traditional facelift using the SMAS technique targets skin laxity and deep wrinkles to restore a youthful appearance. This procedure tightens the skin and the underlying muscle layers, effectively addressing sagging and pronounced lines for a comprehensive rejuvenation of the face and neck.
The mini facelift is a less invasive facial procedure focusing on skin tightening to refresh your appearance with minimal downtime. It provides natural-looking results by lifting and smoothing specific areas, making it ideal for patients seeking subtle yet effective facial rejuvenation.
Fat grafting complements neck and facelift surgeries by removing excess fat from targeted areas and transferring it to regions needing volume enhancement. This technique restores youthful contours by addressing deep fat loss, improving facial fullness and balance for a smoother, more vibrant look.
Some patients may not be ripe for a complete facelift because their upper face is still youthful, while there is wrinkling in the neck skin. A neck lift may be an ideal solution when the neck area does not match the facial look. While non-surgical rejuvenation treatments are available, they cannot achieve the same results as surgery. Remember that the neck lift procedure does not fundamentally change your appearance or put the brakes on the aging process.
