MyEllevate® Jaw Contouring

Patients from all walks of life tend to notice that their once-defined jawline becomes rounder and lower over time. This is because fat and other tissues tend to migrate downward with age, giving the face a “bottom-heavy” look and hiding the clean lines common to a well-defined jawline that separates the face above from the neck below. MyEllevate^® jaw contouring focuses on this specific problem in this specific area. Designed to target sagging with precision, the device provides results that can be seen right away—all without the need for any recovery times common to surgical procedures.

MyEllevate^® is a state-of-the-art cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the definition of the jawline and improve the appearance of the neck. This technique utilizes a specialized, suture-based system that supports and elevates the underlying tissues without the need for traditional surgical incisions. Ideal for those looking to refine their neck and jaw contours, MyEllevate^® offers a significant aesthetic transformation with minimal downtime.

Performed using a light-guided ICLED suture system, MyEllevate^® allows for the precise placement of a supportive suture material around the muscles under the chin and along the jawline. This method secures a durable elevation of the tissue, sculpting a more defined jawline and neck contour. Basically, the sutures hold up tissues from the inside, preventing them from sagging as they typically would due to the realities of aging.

Thanks to the advanced technology, the procedure can safely be completed with precision—but typically takes only about an hour and is conducted using local anesthesia, enhancing patient comfort and safety. This means only the area being worked on will be targeted for reduced sensation, so there’s no need for you to “go to sleep” and wake up feeling groggy.

No large incisions are required, which means less scarring and a lower risk of complications compared to traditional surgical methods. The entire process can be completed in less than an hour, which is certainly much faster than a surgical procedure.

Most patients experience minimal downtime and can return to their daily activities shortly after the procedure. Common side effects include bruising, swelling, and redness—all of which are temporary and can be managed until their quick resolution.

Enjoy a naturally rejuvenated appearance that endures, thanks to the durable effects of MyEllevate^®. Many patients find that their more youthful contours last three to five years—or longer! There’s no way to actually stop the aging process (yet!), so your tissues will continue to be impacted by time and gravity. Talk to The Waldorf Center team about how best to maintain long-term results.

You should notice an enhancement in your jawline and neck contour shortly after your procedure, with the desired results continuing to develop as swelling decreases.

MyEllevate^® is suitable for men and women who are looking for a non-surgical solution to enhance their jawline and reduce the appearance of a sagging neck. Ideal candidates should be in good health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure. A consultation at The Waldorf Center will help determine if MyEllevate^® is the right option for you based on your aesthetic goals and medical history.

Patients looking to get a sleeker, more youthful look for their jawline and neck area have more facial surgery options to consider. A facelift, which focuses on the lower face, can tighten laxity that gives the neck an aged look, as well as address jowls that create a “soft” and poorly defined jawline. Cheek augmentation or fat grafting for the cheeks can also provide more structure and support in the mid- face, which can help to keep tissues from sagging and causing jowls to develop. Chin augmentation can also help to shape a more proportionate jawline. Liposuction that focuses on the neck and jawline surgically removes fat to create a sleeker look.

Patients not ready for surgery have some nonsurgical options. Keep in mind that surgical procedures tend to provide the most dramatic and long-lasting results, but injectables and energy-based skin tightening options can help to further refine a look or make adjustments to a face that has started to show signs of aging. Dermal fillers like Voluma^®, for example, can be used to sculpt the face with results that last for up to two years.

For nonsurgical fat reduction, injectable Kybella^® can specifically target a double chin to “dissolve” fat cells there, while CoolSculpting^® Elite has an applicator that can target an isolated pocket of fat for chilling and gradual reduction.
