A youthful, well-defined neckline is often associated with beauty and confidence. However, as we age, skin laxity, muscle banding, and excess fat can obscure the natural contours of the neck and jawline, leading to a less sculpted appearance. This can make many individuals feel self-conscious about their profile, especially in photos or video calls.
As a board-certified plastic surgeon in Raleigh, NC, Dr. Glenn Lyle specializes in helping his patients achieve natural, elegant results with advanced techniques. One of the most exciting innovations in neck rejuvenation today is the My Ellevate neck lift, a minimally invasive procedure designed to redefine your neckline with minimal downtime.
If you’re looking for a refreshed, youthful look without undergoing traditional neck lift surgery, this could be the ideal solution. This procedure is perfect for individuals who want subtle but effective enhancements without the long recovery associated with traditional cosmetic surgery.
What is an My Ellevate Neck Lift?
Why Dr. Lyle Recommends the My Ellevate Neck Lift
The My Ellevate neck lift is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatment that enhances the contour of the neck and jawline. Unlike traditional neck lift procedures, which often involve large incisions and significant downtime, My Ellevate works beneath the skin’s surface to create a sculpted, youthful appearance with minimal disruption to daily life.
It utilizes the ICLED® light-guided suture system, a unique technology that provides structural support to the underlying neck muscles without large incisions. This system allows for precise placement of sutures, reinforcing the platysma muscle and lifting the skin for a tighter, more defined look.
This technique works well for patients who have mild to moderate skin laxity and are seeking an effective alternative to a full surgical neck lift. It is not a substitute for a neck lift or facelift if that is the best choice. When patients would benefit from an open neck lift- Dr. Lyle will explain why if he thinks My Ellevate is not right for you.
Additionally, My Ellevate can be performed as a standalone procedure or combined with complementary treatments, such as submental liposuction, Genius radiofrequency microneedling, or injectable fillers, for enhanced results.
Key Benefits of the Ellevate Neck Lift
- Minimally Invasive with Quick Recovery
- Unlike a traditional neck lift, which requires larger incisions and longer healing times, the My Ellevate technique involves only small puncture points. These heal quickly and are virtually unnoticeable.
- Many of his patients in Raleigh, NC, return to normal activities within a few days, making this procedure ideal for individuals with busy schedules.
- The recovery process involves minimal swelling and bruising, which typically subsides within a week. Most patients only need a few days of social downtime, and makeup can often conceal any minor bruising.
- Immediate & Long-Lasting Results
- Patients notice an immediate improvement in their neck contour, with continued enhancements as healing progresses over the following months.
- The internal suture system provides long-term support to maintain a youthful neckline for years to come.
- By reinforcing the platysma muscle, My Ellevate helps prevent further sagging, offering longer-lasting rejuvenation compared to other non-surgical treatments.
- Natural-Looking Enhancement
- Unlike some procedures that create an overly tight or artificial look, the My Ellevate neck lift is designed to enhance your natural features, preserving a soft and elegant appearance.
- This technique works beneath the skin to subtly lift and contour the jawline, avoiding the “pulled” look that can sometimes occur with traditional facelift procedures.
- Patients love how natural and refreshed they look rather than appearing like they’ve had work done.
- Minimal Scarring & No or Few Visible Incisions
- Traditional neck lift surgery often leaves visible scars behind the ears and under the chin, but My Ellevate requires only tiny puncture sites, which heal quickly and fade into near-invisibility.
- Because the procedure does not involve extensive tissue repositioning, the risk of keloid formation or thick scarring is significantly reduced, making this an excellent option for individuals prone to poor scar healing.
- A Perfect Complement to Other Procedures
This technique can be combined with:
- Liposuction to remove excess fat under the chin and along the jawline for enhanced contouring.
- Skin tightening treatments such as Genius Microneedling, Renuvion radiofrequency energy, or laser therapies to further improve skin tone and elasticity.
- Injectable treatments, like dermal fillers or Botox, to define the jawline and relax platysmal bands for an even smoother look.
Many patients choose My Ellevate as part of a customized facial rejuvenation plan, ensuring a comprehensive, youthful, and natural-looking transformation.

Who is an Ideal Candidate for the My Ellevate Neck Lift?
The best candidates for My Ellevate are those who:
- Have mild to moderate skin laxity and do not require significant surgical lifting.
- Are noticing early signs of aging, such as sagging skin or muscle banding along the neck.
- Have good skin elasticity, which helps achieve optimal healing and tightening.
- Prefer a minimally invasive approach with less downtime compared to traditional surgery.
- Are at a stable weight, as significant weight fluctuations can affect the longevity of results.
Those with severe skin laxity or excessive loose skin may be better candidates for a traditional neck lift or a My Ellevate Plus- which involves a limited incision and skin removal in front of the earlobe. During your consultation, Dr. Lyle will evaluate your anatomy and goals to recommend the best approach for your needs.
