Neck Lift Pasadena, CA | Pasadena Plastic Surgery: Michael Schwartz, MD

Understanding Neck Aging and Rejuvenation

The neck often reveals signs of aging more prominently than other facial areas. Loose and drooping skin can significantly impact one's perceived age, making neck rejuvenation a critical aesthetic procedure. Dr. Michael Schwartz, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, specializes in neck lift procedures for patients in Los Angeles, Pasadena, and surrounding California communities.

What is a Neck Lift Procedure?

A neck lift, medically known as lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical technique designed to address common aging concerns such as:

• Double chin formation
• "Turkey neck" appearance
• Sagging neck muscle and skin
• Excess fat underneath the chin
• Jowl formation along the jawline

Procedure Details

Dr. Schwartz performs neck lift surgery through precise, strategic techniques that include:

• Tumescent anesthesia administration
• Small incisions under the chin and behind ears
• Neck muscle tightening and repositioning
• Targeted liposuction for fat removal
• Excess skin trimming and tightening

Neck Lift Benefits in Pasadena

Patients can expect remarkable improvements in neck aesthetics, including a more youthful, defined jawline and smoother neck contour. The procedure offers a less invasive alternative to a full facelift while providing significant rejuvenation.

Ideal Candidates

Candidates for a neck lift typically experience visible signs of aging in the neck region, such as muscle laxity, excess skin, or stubborn fat deposits. An ideal patient desires a more refined, younger-looking neck without extensive surgical intervention.

Recovery and Results

Post-procedure recovery involves minimal discomfort with immediate visible results. Patients can expect:

• Supportive surgical bandages
• Recommended head elevation
• Minimal swelling and bruising
• Four-week restriction on strenuous activities
• Gradual return to normal neck sensation

Cost Considerations

As an elective cosmetic procedure, neck lift costs vary based on individual needs. Pasadena Plastic Surgery offers flexible financing options through Alphaeon Credit, Prosper Healthcare Lending, and CareCredit.
