MyEllevate

A neck lift procedure is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anaesthesia or intravenous sedation. The cosmetic surgeon will make a small incision behind each ear, and depending on the patient's needs, there may also be a third small incision underneath the chin. Through these incisions, he or she will tighten the neck muscles and/or underlying tissues and remove excess, sagging skin to restore a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance to the neck. Recovery time after a neck lift will depend on the individual, as well as the extent of surgery. Typically, patients return to daily activities, including a return to work, within 2 weeks after surgery. Expect your neck to feel tight for a few weeks and know that bruising and swelling are normal. These effects should subside gradually, with visible bruising typically gone after the first week, and that “tight” feeling remaining for up to several months.

The MyEllevate® treatment, on the other hand, is a minimally invasive procedure that requires almost no downtime. Unlike a facelift or a neck lift, the MyEllevate® procedure doesn’t require incisions or removal of skin and can be performed under local anaesthesia in a surgeon’s office. Patients love it because it is a quick procedure (about an hour) and provides natural-looking results. Most patients experience rapid healing with minor bruising and swelling due to minimal tissue trauma.

MyEllevate is suitable for anyone with early signs of aging in the neck and around the jawline who doesn't want to undergo invasive surgery with lengthy downtime. You can consider getting this state-of-the-art neck rejuvenation procedure if: Your neck is starting to bulge out a little, you have extra fat under your chin and along your jawline, your jawline is starting to lose its definition and you don’t want any incisions in your neck, on the sides of your face, or behind your ears.

The light-guided suture system is a state-of-the-art technology enabling surgeons to perform a minimally invasive and incision-free neck lift. Sutures lift and tighten the underlying neck layers to sculpt the neck and give it a younger appearance. With LED light guidance, surgeons can strategically and accurately place permanent sutures inside the neck tissue without making incisions. By transmitting LED light through the neck tissue to the exact locations where the sutures need to be placed can be pinpointed and the surgeon can weave the underlying neck muscles and glands together with permanent neck sutures to achieve a slimmer and smoother neck contour.

Marked changes will appear in the jawline directly after your MyEllevate session, but with mild swelling, you may not see them right away. As the swelling subsides, you’ll notice increased definition in the neck as well as a reduction in vertical banding. Your outcome will continue to improve over time as the body’s natural supply of collagen is replenished. Your results are expected to last 5-years+ on average although some have lasted as long as 9 years.

We often perform MyEllevate with other minimally invasive treatments, such as liposuction for fat removal from the neck and jawline and Endolift or other energy-based treatments like HIFU for RF Microneedling to stimulate additional collagen.

While MyEllevate produces almost the same results as a surgical neck lift, the costs are significant but less as there is no general anaesthetic and no hospital stay. The exact cost of your MyEllevate neck lift may vary depending on whether you get it alone or in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures, such as liposuction, Endolift or RF Microneedling but as a standalone will be around £6,000.
