Benefits of MyEllevate Neck Lift
- Minimally invasive, performed under local anesthesia

- Improves jawline and neck contour
- Tightens and supports neck tissues with long-lasting results
- Combines well with neck liposuction and Renuvion skin tightening for enhanced results
What is the MyEllevate Neck Lift?
The MyEllevate neck lift is designed to rejuvenate the neck and jawline using a series of precisely placed sutures that tighten the soft tissues under the chin. Unlike traditional neck lift surgery, MyEllevate can be performed in the office with local anesthesia, making it an attractive option for those looking to avoid general anesthesia or more invasive procedures.
The sutures are placed along the jawline and anchored to deeper neck tissues, providing a lifting effect that enhances the neck’s natural contour. This technique delivers a more youthful, refreshed appearance and is especially beneficial for patients with early signs of aging around the neck and jawline.
Ideal Candidates for MyEllevate Neck Lift
The best candidates for the MyEllevate neck lift are individuals who:
- Have mild to moderate sagging skin along the neck and jawline
- Are not ready for traditional, invasive neck lift surgery
- Seek a minimally invasive solution with natural-looking results
- Desire a procedure with quicker recovery times
MyEllevate is ideal for patients with early signs of aging, including sagging skin and neck wrinkles, but who prefer a less invasive treatment than a full neck lift. While MyEllevate will not provide the same dramatic results as a surgical neck lift, it offers enough improvement to be a worthwhile option for many patients.
The MyEllevate Procedure
Dr. Hilinski performs the MyEllevate procedure using local anesthesia in an outpatient setting. The process involves placing sutures under the chin and along the jawline, which are tightened to lift and contour the neck. The procedure typically takes under two hours, and patients can return home the same day.
To further enhance the results, Dr. Hilinski often combines MyEllevate with additional treatments like:
Neck liposuction
Removes excess fat under the chin for more definition.
Renuvion J Plasma skin tightening
Uses plasma energy to tighten loose neck skin, improving overall contour and skin quality.
Recovery After MyEllevate Neck Lift
Since the MyEllevate neck lift is minimally invasive, recovery is much quicker compared to traditional neck lift surgery. Most patients experience some swelling and bruising in the first few days, but they can typically return to their normal activities within a week.
