Not everyone has the luxury of time to recover from surgical procedures, and not everyone feels the need for a complete surgical facelift. If this describes you, the Y Lift might be the ideal solution to enhance your facial features without significant downtime.
At AURAE MD, we serve San Diego and La Jolla, CA, by offering the Y Lift, a nonsurgical alternative to a traditional facelift. It helps refresh your appearance with minimal discomfort and downtime.
What Is a Non-Surgical Neck Lift?
The nonsurgical Y Lift is a minimally invasive contouring procedure that rejuvenates the cheekbones and under-eye area, sculpts the jawline, and lifts the upper neck, all while reducing the appearance of wrinkles for a smoother, more youthful complexion. Utilizing tiny needles and cannulas, the Y Lift strategically injects filler material into the face. Completed in a short visit with no need for incisions, stitches, or general anesthesia, the Y Lift restores a youthful “Y” shape from cheekbones to the chin while enhancing individual features for a natural, revitalized look.

The AURAE MD Non-Surgical Neck Lift: Y Lift
What Is the Y Lift?
The Y Lift is a nonsurgical facial contouring treatment that enhances the neck, jawline, and midface areas using a unique method to target the skin’s underlying structures. This minimally invasive procedure delivers immediate results, adding volume and lift to the cheekbones and under-eye areas while defining the chin and jawline. It also contours the upper neck and effectively treats wrinkles and lines around the mouth, offering a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance with long-lasting effects.
How Does Y Lift Work?
The Y Lift utilizes a “structural volumizing” philosophy to address dynamic facial changes that occur naturally as we age. By precisely applying hyaluronic acid fillers under the muscle and over the bone, it supports and lifts tissue, tightens sagging skin, and defines the jawline by enhancing the natural contours of the neck and lower face.
The treatment accentuates the cheekbone, revives the under-eye area, and sharply defines the jawline while lifting the upper neck instantly. Completed in a short visit with no need for incisions, stitches, or general anesthesia, the Y Lift restores a youthful “Y” shape from cheekbones to the chin while enhancing individual features for a natural, revitalized look.
How Can the Y Lift Make You Look Younger?
- Refining Jawline Contours: The Y Lift sculpts and defines the jawline, reshaping the lower face to create a sharper, more contoured appearance. This enhanced definition contributes to a youthful and revitalized look.
- Gently Lifting and Firming the Skin: The Y Lift restores a youthful “Y” shape to the jaw and neck by lifting and tightening sagging areas. This strategic repositioning of underlying tissues helps combat loose skin, resulting in a firmer, more youthful appearance.
- Minimizing Neck Lines and Wrinkles: The Y Lift tightens the neck skin and smooths out lines and wrinkles by replenishing lost volume with hyaluronic acid fillers. This process elevates the skin on the face and jaw, supporting its natural structure and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
Preparing for Your Non-Surgical Neck Lift
Before your nonsurgical neck lift, we will have a consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals and review any medical history that may impact the treatment. To ensure the best results, you may be advised to refrain from certain medications or supplements, like aspirin and fish oil, for a week prior to the procedure, as they can increase the risk of bruising.
Staying well-hydrated is also essential—drinking plenty of water the day before and on the day of your treatment helps optimize your skin’s condition and supports a smooth recovery.
During Your Non-Surgical Neck Lift
The Y lift begins with a thorough consultation and assessment of your needs.
On the day of the procedure, the patient is prepped, sanitized, and numbed with a light local anesthetic. A specially designed titanium instrument resembling a needle is then used to create an instant lift by working deep beneath the skin, past the dermis and muscle layers. This technique contours the underlying structures and enhances facial volume.
Next, a hyaluronic acid-based filler is injected to maintain the lift and ensure proper placement. The filler is then manually sculpted to accentuate and enhance the patient’s natural features. The procedure is minimally invasive, requiring no incisions, stitches, or general anesthesia.
Treatment typically lasts 30 to 45 minutes. It produces immediate results and minimal discomfort, allowing patients to resume their daily activities shortly after.
Results and Recovery after Your Non-Surgical Neck Lift
The results of a nonsurgical neck lift are immediately visible, even if minor swelling occurs initially.
For optimal recovery, you may be advised to sleep on your back for the first few nights and to avoid applying makeup to the treated areas for a couple of days. Additionally, it’s recommended to refrain from strenuous exercise for a short period. Results typically last 1-3 years.
To achieve the best results, we recommend incorporating the following practices into your routine:
- Sun Protection: After your neck tightening treatment, shield your skin from sun damage. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to prevent new wrinkles and sagging. For added protection, wear hats or use physical barriers when outdoors to safeguard the delicate skin on your neck from UV exposure.
- Anti-Aging Skincare: Enhance the benefits of your neck rejuvenation with effective post-treatment care. Opt for anti-aging products featuring hyaluronic acid and retinol to stimulate collagen production and support skin renewal.
- Healthy Diet: Nourish your skin with a diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants. Include protein-rich foods, healthy fats, and antioxidant-packed fruits and vegetables to support overall skin health.
