Not everyone has the luxury of time to recover from surgical interventions, and not all individuals are suitable candidates for these procedures. If you find yourself in this situation, a non-surgical neck lift might be the ideal solution to tighten and smooth your neck area without significant downtime. At AURAE MD, we serve both San Diego and La Jolla, CA, by offering a non-surgical neck lift called the Y Lift® that can help refresh your appearance swiftly and efficiently.
What Is a Non-Surgical Neck Lift?
A non-surgical neck lift enhances the appearance of your neck without the inconvenience and downtime of surgery. This option uses different techniques to lift loose skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sagging. A non-surgical neck lift focuses on restoring a smoother, more defined neck contour, redefining the jawline, and improving overall aesthetics with a short 30-minute treatment.
Why Choose a Non-Surgical Neck Lift?
- No General Anesthesia Needed: Undergoing a neck contouring treatment without general anesthesia allows you to avoid the risks and side effects associated with deeper sedation.
- Minimal to No Downtime: The neck tightening process is designed for efficiency, often requiring little to no time away from work or other responsibilities.
- No Scars: Neck rejuvenation treatments that do not involve surgery also do not involve scars. While traditional neck lifts result in some scarring around the ears and hairline, there will be no visible marks after these treatments.
- Cost-Effective: A non-surgical neck lift is typically more affordable than surgical procedures and can make financial sense for many patients.
- Subtle Yet Noticeable Results: A neck lift without surgery offers results that are both natural-looking and visible. This balance ensures enhancements that are noticeable yet not overdone.
Our Non-Surgical Neck Lift: Y Lift
What Is the Y Lift?
The Y Lift is a non-surgical neck lift treatment that enhances the neck and jawline area using a unique method that targets the underlying structures of the skin. Designed to deliver immediate results, the Y Lift rejuvenates the neck, jawline, and midface areas for a more youthful appearance with long-lasting effects.
How Does Y Lift Work?
The process of a Y Lift involves the careful application of hyaluronic acid fillers under the muscle and over the bone to support and lift the tissue. This method tightens sagging skin and helps to define the jawline by accentuating the natural contours of the neck and lower face. The treatment is completed within a short visit, allowing patients to resume their daily activities almost immediately.
How Can the Y Lift Make You Look Younger?
Enhancing Jawline Definition
The Y Lift targets the jawline to enhance its definition. This application reshapes the lower face contour, creating a sharper, more defined jawline that contributes to a youthful and revitalized appearance.
Reducing Sagging and Loose Skin
One of the benefits of a neck lift is its ability to lift and tighten areas of sagging and loose skin. The Y Lift strategically repositions the underlying tissues so that the youthful “Y” shape is restored to the jaw and neck area.
Minimizing Neck Lines and Wrinkles
The Y Lift offers neck skin tightening and reduces lines and wrinkles by restoring lost volume. Once the hyaluronic acid fillers are inserted, the skin is able to sit higher on the face and jaw, smoothing wrinkles by supporting the skin’s natural structure.
Preparing for Your Non-Surgical Neck Lift
Before your non-surgical neck lift, you will meet with us to discuss your aesthetic goals and any medical history that could affect the treatment. For best results, you might be advised to avoid certain medications or supplements that could increase bruising, such as aspirin and fish oil, for a week before the treatment. Hydration is key — drinking plenty of water the day before and the day of the treatment can optimize your skin’s condition and help with recovery.
During Your Non-Surgical Neck Lift
During the non-surgical neck lift, we always make comfort a priority. The treatment area will be cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort. Using a cannula, we inject the filler deep into the facial structure to lift and volumize without injection into the skin.
Within 30 to 40 minutes, the treatment will be done, and you will be able to see immediate results. You can expect to feel minimal pain due to the anesthetic, and you will be awake and able to communicate any sensations or concerns as they arise.
Keeping Your Neck Youthful After Your Treatment
- Wholesome Foods: Adding foods rich in vitamins and antioxidants can keep the skin on your face and neck supple and refreshed after your neck lift. Especially focus on foods that are high in vitamins C and E, such as citrus fruits and almonds.
- Anti-Aging Skincare: Post-treatment care with products specifically formulated for anti-aging can extend the benefits of your neck rejuvenation. Look for serums and creams that contain hyaluronic acid and retinol to promote collagen production and skin renewal.
- Protecting Your Skin: Continuous protection against sun damage is important after a neck tightening treatment. Using a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen can prevent new wrinkles and skin sagging, and wearing hats or using physical barriers when outdoors can further protect the delicate skin on your neck from UV exposure.
