Considering a Life Style Neck Lift
Since I've just registered on RealSelf, perhaps the requests for recommendations regarding doc's in the Santa Ana, CA and Las Vegas areas has already been addressed, but Ive missed them. Any feedback (either pro or con), and what is the average fee for the neck lift (in both locations)? Also, what are the long-term ramifications, if any? Thx, Paula

Considering a Lifestyle Lift
A lifestyle lift is a trademark. It is not a revolutionary procedure or a new technique. It is usually a lower third facelift and neck lift performed using either a SMAS plication or imbrication technique combined with a platysmplasty (neck lift). This is a traditional technique designed to address lax skin in the neck and jowling.

Be wary of choosing doctors based on cost
As always, the recommendation of a friend or associate who's had a good experience with a doctor you are considering is a good way to chose.
As I've stated in other posts, be wary of selecting your doctor based on price. You don't always get what you pay for, and cheaper doctors are not always less skilled. Nonetheless, you will generally see significant differences in costs depending upon the geographic location you are researching: LA and NY are typically the most expensive areas, with...
