Minimally-Invasive Neck Lift vs Neck Lift Surgery

As a plastic surgeon, it’s easy to see why many patients wish to firm and sculpt the neck and jawline with the most minimal treatment options possible.

While neck liposuction, facelift surgery, and neck lift surgery remain in high demand among patients as they grow older, there is no question that non-invasive treatment options are preferred as the first line of defense against facial aging. Patients with busy lifestyles and strict budgets are often unwilling to take on the downtime and expense of cosmetic surgery. Neck lifts and facelifts are considered the gold standard of low face rejuvenation but new techniques like MyEllevate® are opening doors we never thought possible in years past and are expanding the options for younger patients. As aesthetic medical technology continues to evolve, minimally invasive procedures are bridging the gap for patients seeking alternative neck lift options.
