The neck and jawline are among the first areas to show visible signs of aging. Loose skin, banding, and submental fullness can make you appear older and more fatigued than you feel. For patients who want meaningful, lasting improvement without the commitment of traditional neck lift surgery, MyEllevate offers a compelling alternative. At Rodeo Surgical Art in Beverly Hills, Dr. Mashhadian performs MyEllevate as a minimally invasive solution that delivers immediate, long-lasting results with minimal downtime.
This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about MyEllevate, including how it works, what to expect, and how it compares to other neck rejuvenation options at our Beverly Hills practice.
What Is MyEllevate?
MyEllevate is a minimally invasive neck rejuvenation procedure that uses a light-guided suture suspension system to lift and support the underlying muscles and glands in the neck and jawline. Unlike traditional neck lift surgery, MyEllevate does not require large incisions, general anesthesia, or lengthy hospital stays. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes about 60 minutes.
MyEllevate is sometimes referred to as a “neck suspension” or a minimally invasive alternative to the traditional platysmaplasty. It targets the platysmal muscles and deeper structures in the neck to create a more youthful and defined jawline by addressing the root cause of neck laxity rather than simply tightening surface skin.
How MyEllevate Works
The MyEllevate system uses a proprietary light-guided device to place a specialized suture network beneath the skin. This network is anchored to support the platysmal muscles and glands, restoring the underlying structural support that diminishes with age. Here is what the procedure looks like step by step:
- Local anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort throughout the procedure
- A small light-guided device is used to navigate the suture through the tissue without large incisions
- The suture is positioned to lift and suspend the platysmal muscles and neck glands
- The entry points are minimal and heal quickly
- Patients typically return to normal activities within a few days
Because no large incisions are required, scarring is minimal and the recovery experience is significantly more comfortable than traditional neck lift surgery.
Key Benefits of MyEllevate
MyEllevate at Rodeo Surgical Art delivers several advantages that make it a preferred choice for the right candidate:
Minimally Invasive with No Large Incisions
Traditional neck lifts require incisions behind the ears and under the chin. MyEllevate uses only small entry points for the light-guided suture device, which means no large scars and no lengthy recovery periods.
Performed Under Local Anesthesia
General anesthesia carries its own set of risks and requires a more involved pre-operative and post-operative process. MyEllevate is performed under local anesthesia, making the procedure faster, safer, and more accessible for patients who prefer to avoid general anesthesia entirely.
Immediate and Visible Results
Most patients see immediate improvement in the contour of their neck and jawline following the procedure. Results continue to refine over the weeks following treatment as any mild swelling resolves.
Quick Recovery Time
Most MyEllevate patients return to their normal activities within a few days. There may be some mild swelling or bruising during the initial recovery period, but these side effects are temporary and manageable.
Long-Lasting Outcomes
MyEllevate results can last several years. While the natural aging process continues, the structural lift provided by the suture system delivers meaningful and durable improvement. This makes MyEllevate one of the most cost-effective neck rejuvenation options available for the right candidate.

Who Is the Ideal Candidate for MyEllevate?
MyEllevate is particularly well-suited for individuals who are beginning to notice signs of aging in the neck area but are not yet ready for a full surgical neck lift. You may be a strong candidate if you:
- Notice early to moderate sagging or banding in the neck
- Have excess submental fat or lack of jawline definition
- Want lasting results without general anesthesia or surgical recovery
- Prefer a procedure you can complete in a single office visit
- Are in good general health with no contraindications to local anesthesia
- Are seeking a complement to non-surgical facial balancing treatments
Patients with advanced neck laxity may benefit from a traditional surgical neck lift starting at $20,000 or from MyEllevate as a first-phase approach before a later surgical procedure. Dr. Mashhadian will guide you to the right solution during consultation.
