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: 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

Answer: Y lift v.s facelift A "Y facelift" is a procedure that is performed using temporary dermal fillers like Juvederm Restylane or Perlane. There is little to no downtime with a Y facelift. This might be an ideal treatment for some, but the results are temporary and it does not address excess skin. If you'er willing to spend $300-$5000 to get a one year result, then it is a good procedure.
