MyEllevate is an advanced technique that targets the neck and lower face area. Utilizing the advanced ICLED® light-guided suture system, the procedure offers a minimally invasive, precise and effective way to lift and contour the lower face and neck.
No traditional incisions, instead, small puncture sites are strategically placed around the treatment area. Here’s a step-by-step overview of how the procedure is performed:
During your initial consultation, we will assess your specific needs and determine if it is the right option for you. We will discuss your goals, evaluate the condition of your skin, and provide a comprehensive treatment plan.
The procedure typically takes about 60 minutes. A local anesthetic is administered to ensure comfort. Using the ICLED® light-guided suture system, a permanent suture is placed beneath the skin through small puncture sites. This suture is woven in a specific pattern to lift and contour the sagging jawline tissues of the jawline and neck. If indicated, PrecisionTx skin tightening as well as traditional liposuction may be performed at the same time. PrecisionTx is a revolutionary laser technology which delivers controlled waves of energy to melt and flush out fat cells, stimulate collagen production, and enhances the health of your skin.
The incisions made during this procedure are so small, that they close within days without the need for sutures. After MyEllevate is complete, a compression garment and soft collar are applied. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing you to return home the same day.
While traditional surgical facelifts are effective, MyEllevate offers several advantages for those seeking less invasive options. The Zoom Lift procedure provides noticeable results with a quicker recovery time and less risk of complications compared to more invasive surgeries.
Immediately following the procedure, you may notice mild swelling and bruising, which typically subsides within a few days. Pain is usually minimal and can be managed with over-the-counter medication. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing, including guidelines on managing swelling, avoiding strenuous activities, and attending follow-up appointments. Full results become apparent as the swelling decreases, usually within 1-2 weeks. The supportive suture continues to integrate with your tissues, providing long-lasting benefits.
While it is a safe and effective procedure, it is important to be aware of potential complications. As with any medical procedure, there are some risks, including:
