I heard that a <<doctor's name removed by editor>> is perfoming a new minimally invasive necklift using what is called the iGuide System. Where can I learn about it? How much does it cost? And does it really work?

Here We Go Again........

I believe the I Guide system is some form of thread lift procedure for the neck.  I sincerely doubt it provides superior results to currently available techniques.  I agree with other posters that this may work for very early changes, but is likely to provide underwhelming results in circumstances of more significant cervical obliquity. The more significant the changes present, the more significant the procedure required.

IGuide neck lift

I have done around 6 of these and was the first plastic surgeon (and currently only) to do them in the Houston area.  I think it is a great "first" procedure for many patients that may have early signs of aging and may not be ready for a full face/neck lift.  It is also something I can perform in the office with only mild sedation and local anesthesia.  It takes about an hour.  It involves neck liposuction and the placement of a suture that is woven similar to a... more

The iguide neck lfit

I recently performed the first of these in the Midwest and it is essentially a variation on a neck lift. The early experience limits me from providing any  long term insight. To summarize: it is essentialy a neck liposuction proceure that then involves lacing a permanent suture (thread) back and forth under the chin to maintain the results. It uses a lighted fiberoptic guide to place the suture. Hence, the name Iguide.
