According to the Y Lift web site, Dr. Yan Trokel developed a non-surgical minimally invasive procedure that requires no incisions, stitches, or general anesthesia. Dr. Trokel uses "a specialized titanium instrument which is inserted beneath the skin and then maneuvered throughout designated parts of the facial region to instantly lift the muscles, fascia and fat underlying the skin. Once lifted, hyaluronic acid, a substance which is naturally present in the skin is used to hold the newly elevated position in place at which point the titanium tube is removed from the treatment site. The rejuvenated face is then "sculpted" to accent and highlight each individual's beauty." Is the Y Lift worth it?
Answer: Be careful in assessing proprietary procedures like the Y Lift Take a close look at the website of Dr. Trokel. Many of the patients who show any type of result also had additional procedures beyond the "Ylift". A number of them have had Refirme, a radio frequency treament.

Answer: Is the Y Lift Worth It? If you are looking for a non invasive procedure to improve the lost volume that you have sustained over the past years, this is a terrific procedure with minimal downtime and risk. This procedure utilizes Allergan products Juvederm and Voluma in significant amounts to cause a very pleasing natural look. For truly permanent structural changes to occur, surgeries like a facelift, brow lift and eyelid surgery or fillers like Bellafill are still the only long-term solution.

Answer: What is the Y Lift? Does the name matter? Hello,Very good feedback from the panel members. We agree that "branding" a technique is not really anything new or better. With that said, we have not heard of the "Y Lift." We believe that there are good, achievable options using injection treatments such as Botox, Dysport, and dermal filler treatments. Being a skeptic will serve one well when researching cosmetic options, and yes - ask to see before and after photos of actual patients well beyond the initial swelling produced from the treatment.

Answer: There are many different names for surgical face lifting techniques Many different techniques exist for facelifts. Any technique that involves no sutures, no incisions, and no anesthesia is likely to also yield no results. The reason traditional facelift techniques are so popular and have been around so long is that they work well. The techniques have evolved over time, but the basic principle has remained mostly unchanged over the last several decades.Be sure to discuss all of your concerns with a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon specializing in facial aesthetics.All the best,

Answer: Are branded facelifts worth it?! I am always very sceptical about branded or trademarked procedures promoted by individual physicians. Most procedures, be they facelifts or other procedures, are variations on well established techniques, with a marketing drive behind the branded name.The key is to look for long-term results - at least 6-months after the procedure. If the website or physician only shows early results, I would be somewhat wary, as things always change over the ensuing months, and you need to be sure that they will change in a satisfactory way

Answer: Magic I am not familiar with this procedure. I do caution patients though that if something seems to good to be true you should be skeptical. This has merit in all of life, not just aesthetics haha.If you are interested you should see this doctor and discuss your goals. Be clear with your expectation and see if it is something he can help with. In my hands a mini-facelift is the most affective option to reach the goals discussed above. Facelift surgery is a long process and it is a relationship that is built with the surgeon and patient. You need to be able to trust your surgeon and the surgeon needs to be able to trust the patient. I hope this helps.Best of luck,DrC
