WORTH IT$5,700
I had a lifestyle/midface lift in 2010, but it didn't address my neck at all, and I find myself looking at my lower face and neck and noticing that it doesn't fit the rest of my face ! I read a wonderful review on this site by Laurie, who had a neck lift done last year by Dr. Gorodisky in Ventura. I live in the Palm Desert area where there are many plastic surgeons, but very overpriced and not always good surgeons. I made an appointment to go for a consult with Dr. Gorodisky last month and was very impressed with the way he patiently handled all my questions. He spent about 45 minutes answering every thing I could think of at that time and was very personable, understanding my concerns. I am very pleased with the fact that he uses twilight anaesthesia, as I am nervous about the after effects of general and also the accompanying sore throat after the surgery from the intubation. It just seems much safer to me to use twilight. I shall be keeping this updated as a sort of diary and reference point for later after the surgery.

Just had my face lift/neck lift done 2 weeks ago. Looking forward to seeing your results. We all want that long beautiful neck back!

Oh that's great...I shall take a look at your review. How are you feeling? Did you have general or twilight?

Good luck w your surgery. I saw Dr. G yesterday for a neck lift consult. I also like the twilight instead of anesthesia . I'll be watching for your comments here.

Hi, I had the consult but I'm leaving for vacation on 16 th for 3 weeks. I've decided to go to a board certified facial plastic surgeon in Westlake Village for a consult when I get back. I'm passing on Dr. Gorodisky. Good luck to you. I'll be watching.

11 Days to go..
Time is flying and my pre-op is Thursday. I have so many questions. My PS is a good three hours away. I have only seen him once and that was for the consultation in January. I thought about it for six weeks and booked it. So when I go for my pre-op I shall need all my many questions ready. I think my biggest concern is the feeling of tightness that everyone is describing.I hate the idea that swallowing could be the slightest bit uncomfortable. I have a thin face too so need to ask him to show me more or less where and how the skin will be pulled. Wondering if I am being too vain. This is taking up all my savings.

Hi...I had my face lift/neck lift almost 1 month ago. I had no problem swallowing and although there was some feeling of tightness in my neck it was not uncomfortable. The only discomfort I experienced at all was due to the tight compression garment worn for 2 weeks after my surgery and I was able to adjust the tightness of that in order to be more comfortable while sleeping.
You will be fine and happy you did this.
I okayed spending the money by remembering that many women spend ridiculous amounts of money on designers handbags and shoes or a new car every couple of years. My sister just spent thousands redoing her kitchen. We all have different priorities. I worked hard earning my money and spending it making myself look and feel better makes me happy.
Do what makes you happy.

Thanks Vivian, Just saw the comments here! You are soo right about priorities. My daughter bought a very expensive car, so next time she says anything to me about being too vain, I shall remind her of priorities!! Curious about the compression garment..can you take it off if you go out? How long can it be off? I shall have to remember to ask the doctor!!! AniTa xx

You will look great and be happy with him. You look very pretty from what I see and it will make you look 15 years younger. He is a great surgeon.

I too have a thin face, interested in how your PS will address your questions. My date is June 1 and my list of questions is raising. I also have only spoke to my PS at the initial office visit and he is almost 2 hours away. So many similar points with yours. Will be praying for you!

i had my necklift 3 weeks ago. the first 3 to 5 days i did have hard time swallowing, plus not able to chew. i did loose my voice, and had to actually break up the pain meds, my neck felt extremely tight. but felt better by the 7th day. most of the pain is on the ears. and now is just sharp tingling pain due to numbness around the ears. but I love it looks fabulous. well worth it. I'm still swollen under chin and swollen lymph nodes. but will followup in a few months.
Your progress. All the best with your procedure. You will look fantastic.
