This minimally invasive technique is designed to support and refine the neck and jawline in carefully selected patients who have early changes and minimal skin laxity.

What Is MyEllevate Neck Contouring?

MyEllevate is a minimally invasive procedure that helps sharpen the appearance of the neck and jawline without traditional open surgery. Using a light-guided suture suspension technique, the treatment can improve early neck contour concerns and create a more defined, natural-looking transition beneath the chin and along the jawline.

Candidates For MyEllevate

MyEllevate is best suited for patients who are bothered by early neck or jawline changes but do not yet require, or are not ready for, a surgical facelift or neck lift. It may be appropriate for someone seeking a more refined neck contour with less downtime than surgery.

This procedure can be helpful for select patients with mild to moderate platysmal banding, fullness beneath the jawline, or early loss of definition in the neck. However, it is not designed to replace a facelift or neck lift. For MyEllevate to be effective, skin laxity or sagging must be minimal. Patients with more advanced looseness, jowling, or hanging skin are typically better served by a surgical approach.

Efficient, Effective, No Open Surgery

Jawline rejuvenation with MyEllevate is a simple hour-long procedure that only requires local anesthesia. First, a series of small markings are placed underneath the jawline and behind the ear. Then, needle punctures are made at each marked point. Next, a diluted local anesthesia is administered in the neck and jawline area.

Dr. Bass then uses a fiberoptic rod and suture to divide platysmal banding and to suspend the area under the jawline and chin. Depending on the associated findings in the neck, liposuction of the neck and jaw or energy-based skin-tightening solutions may be employed for additional correction.

Surgical VS. Non-Surgical Neck Correction

A facelift/neck lift is the most complete face and neck correction available for patients who have significant skin laxity (sagging or hanging skin, jowling). For patients with changes to the jawline and neck but who still only have minimal skin laxity, MyEllevate can be an effective solution when administered at the right time.

MyEllevate does not require lengthy incisions, and it can be performed in an hour under local anesthesia. Because there is no skin removal, patients with significant skin laxity are not candidates for this approach. Results are visible immediately after the session. Bruising and swelling are minimal, and most patients can return to normal life in just a few days.

Minimal Recovery & Maximum Convenience with MyEllevate Neck Contouring.

After your MyEllevate procedure, mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness is normal and should gradually improve during the first week. Most patients can resume light daily activities as they feel comfortable.

You may be asked to wear a compression garment for several days and a support brace for the first week and a half. Dr. Bass may also recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or certain movements during the early healing period. Each patient receives a detailed aftercare plan and returns for follow-up visits so Dr. Bass can monitor healing and results.

Neck Contouring Results You’ll Love

Patients should expect a rapid healing process. There will be a noticeable improvement in the neck area right after the MyEllevate procedure, and results will be even more pronounced after the swelling abates. The neck area will have a sharper angle between the horizontal area under the jawline and the vertical portion of the neck, and the contour of the jawline will be more clearly defined. Most patients report that MyEllevate takes years off their appearance.
