Is MyEllevate® Painful?

The procedure itself, being performed under anesthesia, provides almost no discomfort; however, in the first few days, it’s common to feel some mild tightness or tenderness. Unlike traditional neck lift surgery, MyEllevate® does not require large incisions, skin removal, or deep tissue manipulation, which significantly reduces post-procedure discomfort. Patients often describe the sensation as a mild pulling or tightness as the sutures settle into place. Most individuals feel comfortable resuming their daily activities within a few days, making MyEllevate a gentle yet effective alternative to more invasive surgical options.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Most patients only require one MyEllevate procedure to achieve long-lasting results, as the suturing technique provides immediate structural support to the neck and jawline. The initial consultation is your first step, where Dr. Rivera will assess your candidacy and discuss the procedure in detail. After the treatment, a follow-up appointment is scheduled to monitor healing and ensure optimal results. If needed, additional treatments such as neck liposuction, skin tightening, or injectables can be performed later to refine the outcome further. Because MyEllevate delivers long-term lifting and contouring, most patients do not require maintenance treatments for several years.

How Long Until I See Results?

One of the key benefits of MyEllevate® is that results are visible immediately, with further refinement occurring over the next few weeks to months. Right after the procedure, patients notice a sharper jawline, improved neck definition, and an overall more youthful appearance. Some initial swelling and bruising may be present but typically subside within 7 to 10 days. As the sutures integrate with the tissue and collagen production increases, the results continue to improve, with the final outcome becoming fully apparent in about 3 to 6 months.

Can I Combine MyEllevate® With Other Procedures?

MyEllevate is often paired with complementary treatments to enhance and refine results. Many patients choose to combine it with neck liposuction to remove excess fat, further contouring the jawline and neck. Additionally, non-surgical skin-tightening treatments, such as radiofrequency or laser-based therapies, can improve skin elasticity for a smoother, firmer appearance. During your consultation, Dr. Rivera will assess your needs and customize a treatment plan that provides the most natural, balanced, and long-lasting results.

What Are the Risks Associated With MyEllevate®?

MyEllevate is a minimally invasive procedure with a strong safety profile, but as with any cosmetic treatment, there are some potential risks. Temporary side effects may include swelling, bruising, mild discomfort, or tightness in the neck and jaw area. In rare cases, patients may experience asymmetry, suture visibility, or prolonged tightness, though these issues typically resolve with proper healing.

Introduction

Introduction to MyEllevate® – Minimally Invasive Neck Lift Alternative

For those seeking a refined, sculpted jawline, something more powerful than neck liposuction but not as invasive as a neck lift, MyEllevate offers an innovative neck and jawline enhancement approach—without major surgery. Using advanced, light-guided suture technology, this minimally invasive procedure provides subtle yet lasting definition, complementing your natural contours for an elegant appearance. Think about MyEllevate as a bridge between neck liposuction and a neck lift.

At Rivera Plastic Surgery in Miami Beach, we offer a full spectrum of facial enhancement options, from traditional neck lifts to the latest advancements like MyEllevate. Whether you’re looking for a non-surgical refresh or a more transformative approach, Dr. Rivera specializes in tailoring each treatment to your unique aesthetic goals—helping you achieve beautiful, natural-looking results.

What is MyEllevate®?

MyEllevate® is an advanced, minimally invasive cosmetic facial procedure designed to enhance the jawline and neck contours without major surgery. ICLED light-guided suture technology provides internal structural support beneath the skin, creating a naturally lifted, more youthful appearance. Unlike traditional neck lifts that require larger incisions and longer recovery times, MyEllevate achieves refined results through tiny entry points, leaving no visible scars. This innovative procedure can be performed alone or in combination with other treatments like liposuction or energy-based skin tightening (Renuvion J-Plasma™, Retraction®, FaceTite™, QuantumRF™, and others) for further definition.

What Are the Benefits of MyEllevate®?

MyEllevate provides immediate results by lifting and defining the jawline and neck with a non-surgical approach. One of its key advantages is that it requires no large incisions, reducing the risk of scarring while ensuring a faster, more comfortable recovery. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia in about one hour, making it a convenient option for patients who want to avoid general anesthesia or an extensive recovery period. Additionally, MyEllevate offers long-lasting results, with many patients enjoying their improved contour for years. Lastly, because it targets the underlying muscle and soft tissues, MyEllevate provides a level of structural support that injectable treatments alone cannot achieve.

Who Are the Best Candidates For a Scarless Neck Lift?

The ideal candidates for a scarless neck lift at a younger age are those seeking refined, elegant enhancement rather than dramatic correction. Typically, these individuals have mild skin laxity, excess fat beneath the chin, or early muscle banding that affects the harmony of their profile. With naturally strong skin elasticity, younger patients achieve beautifully seamless, long-lasting results that enhance their features with sophistication.

What’s the first step?

To work with Dr. Rivera in Miami and find out if MyEllevate® is right for you, start by scheduling a consultation. During this appointment, Dr. Rivera will carefully assess your jawline, neck structure, skin elasticity, and overall facial harmony. He will also discuss your medical history, lifestyle, and any previous cosmetic treatments to ensure you’re a good candidate. If MyEllevate is suitable for you, Dr. Rivera will develop a treatment plan, and you’ll receive a complete breakdown of what to expect, including pre-procedure instructions, recovery guidelines, and cost details. Once all your questions are answered, you can schedule your procedure at the best time for you.

What to Expect on the Day of MyEllevate® Surgery

On the day of your MyEllevate procedure, you’ll arrive at our Miami Beach office, where Dr. Rivera and his team will make sure you’re comfortable and fully prepared. The treatment is performed under local anesthesia, meaning you’ll be awake but feel minimal to no discomfort. After cleansing and marking the treatment area, Dr. Rivera will use the ICLED light-guided suture system to place a series of supportive sutures beneath the skin, carefully lifting and defining the jawline and neck. The entire procedure typically takes about an hour, and because no large incisions are required, there is little to no scarring. Once complete, you’ll be provided with post-procedure care instructions and a compression band to wear for optimal healing. Most patients can return home immediately and resume light activities within a day or two.

MyEllevate® Recovery

Recovery after MyEllevate® is relatively quick, with most patients experiencing mild swelling, bruising, and tightness in the treated area for the first few days. While downtime is minimal, it’s recommended to rest for the first 3-5 days and avoid strenuous activities for about one to two weeks. Compression garments are often worn for the first few days to help support the tissues and minimize swelling. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work and social activities within a week, though residual tightness may persist for a short period. The final, fully refined results continue to improve over the following weeks to months, revealing an elegantly contoured jawline and neck.

How Much Does MyEllevate® Cost in Miami Beach, FL?

The cost of MyEllevate in Miami Beach varies depending on individual treatment needs, the complexity of the procedure, and whether it is combined with other treatments, such as neck liposuction or skin tightening. At Rivera Plastic Surgery, we provide personalized pricing during your consultation to reflect your unique, specific goals. On average, MyEllevate costs between $5,000 and $10,000, but this can fluctuate based on the extent of correction needed.
