The procedure, commonly known as the Zoom Lift, incorporates advanced suturing technology to tighten and lift the jawline area without incisions. It is an ideal solution for those who already show signs of facial aging but are not ready for traditional facial surgery. It is also an excellent treatment option for younger individuals who want a nice, sharp, and youthful jawline. Anyone looking to enhance their neck and jawline or who wishes to slow down the signs of aging without breaking the bank is a great candidate.
The minimally invasive facial rejuvenation offers several advantages, including:
It requires no surgery and is usually combined with other treatments, such as precision TX laser skin tightening or NeckTite, for enhanced results. This makes it an excellent choice for those seeking a comprehensive rejuvenation solution.
On the day of your procedure, you will be welcomed into the comforting environment of Cornerstone Plastic Surgery. Dr. Coville will review the treatment details with you to ensure all your questions are answered. The minimally invasive procedure begins with the administration of local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout.
A key benefit of MyEllevate is that it requires no incisions. Instead, small puncture sites are strategically made around the treatment area. Using the advanced ICLED®, a light-guided suture system, Dr. Coville precisely places sutures beneath the skin. These sutures are woven in a specific pattern to create a supportive “trampoline” effect, lifting and contouring the sagging jawline and neck tissues.
If needed, minor liposuction can be performed to remove excess fat to further enhance the results. The entire procedure typically takes about 45 to 60 minutes.
Preparing for your MyEllevate procedure involves a few simple steps to ensure the best outcome. Dr. Coville will provide specific instructions tailored to your individual needs. It is generally recommended to avoid taking any medications or supplements that can increase bleeding risk, such as aspirin or certain herbal supplements, for a few days before the procedure. Staying hydrated and maintaining a healthy diet can also promote optimal healing.
On the day of the procedure, wear comfortable clothing and avoid applying makeup or skincare products to the treatment area. Dr. Coville will discuss all necessary preparations during your consultation to ensure you are fully ready for the procedure.
Recovery is quick, with most patients resuming normal activities within five days. Wearing a neck collar during this period supports the healing process. The permanent stitch ensures the lift remains in place, providing long-lasting results that effectively contours a sagging jawline for a more pleasing profile. In Dr. Coville’s care, MyEllevate complications are extremely rare.
Determining whether you are an ideal candidate for the Zoom Lift procedure involves several considerations. Generally, suitable candidates are those wary of invasive surgical procedures or those looking for a less expensive alternative that still delivers beautiful results.
Dr. Coville assesses overall health and medical history as part of his candidate criteria. Typically patients for the procedure have concerns about sagging, particularly in the neck area, and have realistic expectations about the results.

While the procedure is minimally invasive, patients may experience minor swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated area. These side effects typically resolve within a few days. Rare risks include an adverse reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, and infection.
Dr. Coville and his team will provide thorough post-procedure care instructions to reduce risks and ensure a smooth recovery.
Is MyEllevate a thread lift? While there are some similarities, it is definitely not a thread lift, nor is it a face or neck lift. Here is an informative guide to help differentiate between these treatment options for sagging facial skin.
Feature |
MyEllevate |
Thread Lift |
Face/Neck Lift |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surgical/Non-Surgical | Minimally Invasive | Minimally Invasive | Surgical |
| Procedure Time | 45 to 60 minutes | 30 to 60 minutes | 2 to 4 hours |
| Anesthesia | Local anesthesia | Local anesthesia | General or local anesthesia |
| Incisions | Small punctures | Small punctures | Incisions along the hairline and/or behind the ears |
| Tools Used | Permanent ICLED® suture system, knitting needle | Threads, temporary sutures | Scalpels, sutures, potentially liposuction tools |
| Recovery Time | 5 days (wearing a neck collar) | 2 to 7 days | 2 to 4 weeks |
| Results Longevity | Long-lasting, 5+ years, due to permanent sutures | 6 to 12 months | 10+ years |
| Ideal Candidates | Those with mild to moderate sagging and neckbands seeking minimal downtime | Those with mild to moderate sagging, looking for a temporary non-surgical option | Those with significant aging signs and sagging, seeking comprehensive rejuvenation |
The procedure is minimally invasive and is generally well-tolerated by patients. Local anesthesia is used to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Some mild pain or discomfort may be experienced during the recovery period, but this is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain medication.
Most patients need a few days off work to recover. The initial MyEllevate recovery period involves some swelling and bruising, and patients are usually required to wear a neck collar for about five days.
It is recommended to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that is easy to remove and put back on. A button-up shirt or a top with a wide neckline is ideal, as it will be easier to change without disturbing the treated area.
The MyEllevate procedure specifically targets the neck and jawline. It is designed to address sagging skin, improve the definition of the jawline, and reduce the appearance of neckbands, providing a more youthful and contoured look.
The results are designed to be long-lasting due to the permanent suture used in the technique. While the results are durable, the natural aging process will continue.
The cost can vary based on individual patient needs and the specifics of the treatment plan. To get an accurate estimate tailored to your situation, it’s best to schedule a consultation with Dr. Coville.
