Myellevate - Is it all hype or worth it?

Question

I need something done with my neck and under chin area, but am afraid of pulling the plug on surgery. I recently came across this procedure which promises great results. Is it all hype or worth it? Are the risks the same as a traditional necklift?

Dear Sarah GG, 
Thank you for your question. Our patients have really been enjoying their results with their "My Ellevate"  and it is a perfect procedure for those patients who are not quite ready for a face or neck lift. In our office we increase success by combining it with three dimensional RF skin tightening procedures  for the neck and jowls and thus further create a "snatched" jawline !  You ask about the risks - they are significantly less than traditional surgery. It's best that you be evaluated by a Board Certified Plastic, or Facial Plastic Surgeon who is well versed with both invasive and non-invasive procedures and could thus accurately guide you to the optimal procedure for you.

Best of luck in your quest ! 
Sincerely, 
Anna Petropoulos, MD, FRCS

Much more information is needed, such as your height, weight, age and It's very important to post a full set of facial and neck photographs from all angles to make a determination about the correct procedure for you. A traditional neck lift involves surgical removal of the fat deposits below the platysma muscle, liposuction to remove the fat deposits above the muscle, and a platysma plasty to significantly improve your jaw line. Depending upon your age, you may need skin removal if you are over age 50. Non-invasive treatments cannot accomplish what a traditional neck lift can.
