How to skip the if statement if the value does not change. Hangman javascript

I am doing an exercise for coding using jQuery / Javascript to make a hangman game. Most of the features of my game: getting a new word, updating guesses, etc. However, the problem lies in the function of the reviewLives () function regarding the if statements and the draw functions called. Here is the code:

//Draw functions
function drawHead() {
  $('.draw-area').append($('<div>').addClass("body-part head"));
}
function drawTorso() {
  $('.draw-area').append(
  	$('<div>').addClass("body-part armbox").append(
    	$('<div>').addClass("body-part torso")));
  $('.draw-area').append(
  	$('<div>').addClass("body-part legbox").append(
    	$('<div>').addClass("body-part pelvis")));
}
function drawLeftArm(){
  $('.armbox').prepend($('<div>').addClass('body-part leftarm'));
}
function drawRightArm(){
  $('.armbox').prepend($('<div>').addClass('body-part rightarm'));
}
function drawLeftLeg(){
  $('.legbox').prepend($('<div>').addClass('body-part leftleg'));
}
function drawRightLeg(){
  $('.legbox').prepend($('<div>').addClass('body-part rightleg'));
}
var drawSequence = [drawHead,drawTorso,drawLeftArm,drawRightArm,drawLeftLeg,drawRightLeg];



//

var wordlist = ['tree', 'mail', 'male', 'female'];

var guesses = [];
var targetWord = '';
var maxLives = 7;

function newWord() {
  targetWord = wordlist[Math.floor(Math.random() * wordlist.length)];
  return targetWord;
}
console.log('Your word is: ' + newWord());
//go through string of answer word and guesses
function obfuscateWord(){
  // temp variable
  var obWord = '';
  // loop through target word as an array and loop through with the guesses made
  for (var i=0; i<targetWord.length; i++) {
    //target letter word is not being guessed
    if (guesses.indexOf(targetWord[i].toLowerCase(), 0) == -1) {
      obWord += '_ ';
    } else {
      obWord += targetWord[i];
    }

  }
  return obWord;
}


//function to draw the spaces on the screen
function drawWord() {
  while (targetWord == '') {
    newWord();
  }
  //specify the div with targetWOrd ID
  $('#targetWord').html(obfuscateWord());
}

//for guessed Letters
function drawGuesses() {
  guesses.sort();
  $('#previousGuesses').html(guesses.join(', '));
  //console.log('this is guesses0: '+guesses)
}

//remove duplicates
function cleanGuess() {
  //temporary variable
  var uniqueGuesses = [];
  //for each guess perform function
  $.each(guesses, function(index, element) {
    //if guess is not in unique guesses push it, otherwise skip it
    //if element is not empty, test if it is in array
    if (element.length > 0 && $.inArray(element, uniqueGuesses) == -1) {
      uniqueGuesses.push(element);
      
    } else {
      alert('You already guessed this letter!');
    }
    
  });
  //override current guesses with uniqueGuesses
  guesses = uniqueGuesses;
}





//to populate the array with guesses, when a letter is input by user
function addGuess() {
  //filter out to only have a alphabet using a type test
  
  if(/^[a-zA-Z]*$/.test($('#guess').val()) && typeof $('#guess').val() !== "undefined") {
    //if passes test push into the array
    guesses.push($('#guess').val().toLowerCase());
  }
  //to 'empty' the user input
  $('#guess').val('');
}




// use for win or lose, isWinner true or false
function endGameDialog(isWinner) {
	if (isWinner) {
      //alert
      //set html of #endGame dialog b ox
      $('#endGameDialogTitle').html('You won');
      $('#endGameDialogContent').html('You guessed '+targetWord+' in '+guesses.length+' attempts!');
      
    } else {
