UNDERSTANDING NECK LIFT SURGERY IN PARADISE VALLEY

Sagging skin on the neck represents one of the earliest signs of
visible aging. A smooth, contoured neck and defined jawline
characterize a youthful appearance, while skin laxity with folds and
wrinkles indicates an aged aesthetic. Dr. Ashley Howarth specializes
in neck lift surgery, helping patients achieve a more rejuvenated and
refined neck profile.

WHAT IS A NECK LIFT?

A neck lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to address skin
laxity by removing excess skin and elevating underlying tissues. This
procedure creates a smooth, contoured, and youthful neck appearance
for both men and women experiencing loose skin.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR NECK LIFT SURGERY

Patients might be excellent neck lift candidates if they experience:

 	* Excess sagging skin creating a "turkey neck" appearance
	* Visible lines, wrinkles, and creases on the neck
	* Vertical banding in the central neck area
	* Excess fat under the chin or a "double chin" appearance

COMPREHENSIVE NECK REJUVENATION OPTIONS

COMPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES

Many patients considering a neck lift might also benefit from
complementary procedures like facelift or jawline contouring.
Combining techniques can create a more comprehensive and harmonious
facial rejuvenation, addressing interconnected tissue concerns.

NON-SURGICAL ALTERNATIVES

For patients seeking less invasive options, non-surgical treatments
can provide moderate improvements:

 	* Radiofrequency skin tightening to stimulate collagen production
	* Injectable treatments targeting fat cells

THE NECK LIFT PROCEDURE WITH DR. HOWARTH

As a board-certified plastic surgeon trained at the Mayo Clinic, Dr.
Ashley Howarth employs advanced surgical techniques to minimize
incisions and maximize natural-looking results. The procedure is
typically performed under general anesthesia, with strategic incision
placement to minimize visible scarring.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Initial recovery involves managing bruising and swelling, with
personalized pain management protocols. Sutures are typically removed
within seven days, and patients receive detailed scar management
guidance to optimize healing.

UNDERSTANDING FACELIFT SURGERY IN PARADISE VALLEY

When the vibrance and youthfulness you feel inside are no longer
reflected externally, a facelift can restore your facial appearance
and self-image. As aging progresses, facial skin loses elasticity due
to decreased collagen production, resulting in wrinkles, sagging, and
a tired appearance.

WHAT IS A FACELIFT (RHYTIDECTOMY)?

A facelift, medically known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure
designed to lift and tighten facial skin that has become lax over
time. The term derives from Greek roots: "rhytis" meaning wrinkles and
"ektome" meaning excision, literally translating to surgical wrinkle
removal.

FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO FACIAL AGING

 	* Genetics
	* Smoking
	* Sun damage
	* Significant weight loss
	* Natural aging process

REASONS FOR CHOOSING A FACELIFT IN PARADISE VALLEY

Patients typically seek facelift surgery to address specific facial
concerns that impact their confidence and appearance.

COMMON FACELIFT TREATMENT GOALS

 	* Tighten loose skin in face and neck
	* Restore facial definition along jawline
	* Reduce sagging cheeks and drooping jowls
	* Minimize double chin appearance
	* Soften pronounced wrinkles and deep facial folds

FACELIFT CANDIDACY AND EXPECTATIONS

Most facelift patients range between 45-75 years old, though age is
not the sole determining factor. Ideal candidates demonstrate skin
laxity in the lower face, neck, and chin regions with good overall
health and stable weight.

NATURAL-LOOKING RESULTS

Dr. Howarth specializes in delivering natural, youthful appearances by
precisely elevating excess skin and tissue. The goal is to avoid an
overly tight, obviously surgical look by using advanced techniques and
potentially complementing the procedure with non-surgical treatments.

FACELIFT PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

Facelift surgery is performed under general anesthesia at an
outpatient surgery center. Incisions are strategically placed to
minimize visible scarring, typically camouflaged behind the ears and
along the hairline.

RECOVERY EXPECTATIONS

Recovery varies by individual but generally involves initial swelling
and bruising. Patients can typically return to normal activities after
two weeks, with a compression strap recommended to minimize swelling
during the initial healing period.
