Ellevate Neck Contouring Before & After Case 380

This patient came to our office seeking more definition along her jawline and neck. Despite being younger, she noticed early formation of jowls. She expressed frustration with the lack of contour in her jaw area and hoped that a procedure could help her appear more defined by addressing these concerns.

After a thorough evaluation, she was found to be an ideal candidate for Ellevate Neck Contouring in Santa Rosa, performed in conjunction with a lower facelift. Ellevate is a minimally invasive suture suspension technique that targets the underlying platysma muscle and submandibular glands. Even after a properly performed facelift, some patients may continue to see visible submandibular glands due to individual anatomy; Ellevate can be essential for achieving smooth, defined neck contours in these cases.

The procedure and recovery were straightforward. The combination of a lower facelift and Ellevate gave this patient the sharper definition and enhanced jawline she desired, making her facial profile appear slimmer overall. She expressed satisfaction with a result that looked natural and felt consistent with her goals.
