I was not able to select Y Lift as my procedure. when starting this review.
OMG!! Dr. Amiya Prasad is amazing! He saved me from myself and other surgeon's scalpels!! If I could leave a million star rating I would. I booked a consultation through Real Self. The consult was not free and that's ok, I totally respect that. I wanted to hear what he had to say. Dr. Prasad was the fourth consult that I went to. The other 3 surgeons suggested a face and neck lift. All they suggested was surgery. I just assumed Dr. Prasad was going to suggest the same for me as he is a surgeon that performs face and neck lifts, too. He advised if I were to have anything done, it should be a Y Lift based on his assessment of the key things that would restore my youthful contours. His office sent me a quote. My hubby and I discussed a few important points. 1. Dr. Prasad is a surgeon that performs face lifts and neck lifts so why did he suggest this procedure at a fraction of the cost? 2. If I went ahead with this and did not feel it was satisfactory, I could always pursue the face and neck lift.3. Recovery time and the ability to undo what was done if I wasn't happy with the results.I decided to go ahead with the procedure and OMG!!!!!!! I can't believe what I look like? Not just 10 or more years younger but even better than I looked 10 + years ago!! I am in awe. I can't stop looking in the mirror. I want to tell everyone. I've started wearing makeup again. Had I've had a neck and face lift, I still would have needed the volume. When you see other surgeons glitzy before and afters, read the fine print; they've had face and neck lift plus brow lifts, cheek implants, fat grafting or fillers, lasers, lip lifts and more.Don't event think twice, go to Dr. Prasad. He is conservative in his approach and absolutely genius!! Had the best experience ever. I can't believe Dr. Prasad has been there all this time and I didn't know it!!! Dora and the entire staff are amazing, too! You're greeted the second you walk through the door and they already know your name and appointment time. They're professional yet engaging, warm and welcoming. They don't leave anything to chance, they have a very impressive checks and balances system.Dr. Prasad has become my go-to expert on anything face!!!

Just gets better!!! I remember waking up every morning after procedure and running to mirror to see if I still looked lifted and contoured. I was expecting it to just go away somehow. When photos are taken, I don’t cringe anymore. I don’t know why people don’t consider this before going for a facelift. Please take time to educate yourself about a YLift before you have your face cut open!!

Finally, I got a few good photos and with some makeup on in good lighting. This is part of my 6 week update that I posted yesterday. Those images were pretty yellow. Love the contours. I did have PRP to under eyes with Dr. Prasad as well 4 weeks ago.

Image of syringes used. Not sure what’s in each syringe but I imagine there’s some type of numbing agent and then different HA fillers. Only HA fillets are used but they do have different thickness for different areas. I don’t remember specifically which fillers were used. Very little Botox was used, it was like a little sprinkling.

Original YLift by Dr Prasad hasn't needed any touch-ups or adjustments. I think it gets better over time :)
I get about 40 units of Botox every few months but that's not part of a YLift. If you're on the fence about the costs, do it, it's worth it. There's no downtime and no regrets... no surgery or sedation/anesthesia required. Office staff is amazing... as is Dr. Prasad.
