MyEllevate® at Des Moines Plastic Surgery

Define your jawline and neck with MyEllevate® at Des Moines Plastic Surgery. This innovative, minimally invasive procedure lifts and contours your facial profile without extensive surgery. By targeting sagging skin and muscle, MyEllevate® reveals a sharper jawline and improved definition.

What is MyEllevate®?

MyEllevate® is a refined contouring treatment for the neck and jawline. Using advanced suturing techniques guided by ICLED® light, it delivers natural-looking, long-lasting results with minimal downtime.

How It Works and What It Targets

MyEllevate® utilizes a suture support system placed beneath the skin to lift and tighten underlying tissues. This light-guided procedure specifically targets sagging skin and muscle bands in the neck and jawline, providing a contoured, youthful appearance without traditional surgery. The ICLED® system ensures precise suture placement, enhancing the support and lift of the underlying tissues. This approach minimizes the risk of visible scarring and preserves the skin’s integrity for a more natural result.

The Procedure

Under local anesthesia, the MyEllevate® procedure typically takes about an hour. Tiny punctures allow the insertion of the ICLED® light-guided suture system, strategically lifting and supporting neck and jawline tissues. The precision of the light-guided system provides accurate suture placement, maximizing the lift’s effectiveness and minimizing potential complications. Patients usually experience minimal discomfort and can return home the same day.

Aftercare

After the procedure, you should expect some swelling and bruising, which typically subside
within a few days. To maximize recovery and results:

Rest and Hydrate: Take it easy for the first 24-48 hours, and drink plenty of water.
Apply Cold Compresses: Use cold packs intermittently to reduce swelling and bruising
Elevate Your Head: Keep your head elevated, especially while sleeping, to minimize swelling.
Avoid Strenuous Activities: Refrain from heavy lifting, intense exercise, and activities that strain the neck for about a week.
Follow Post-Procedure Instructions: Adhere to any additional guidelines for optimal healing.

Most patients can resume their daily routines shortly after the procedure, enjoying the natural, long-lasting results. Regular follow-ups with Dr. Robbins will help monitor progress and address any concerns.
