Procedures Performed Ellevate Neck Contouring
This patient was bothered by visible fullness under the chin, early development of jowls, and lack of definition along the jawline and neck. The before photo shows moderate submental fullness and early tissue laxity in the lower face without significant sagging of the deeper facial structures. Because her skin retained good elasticity, she was an excellent candidate for Ellevate, to achieve targeted neck contouring and gland support.
Dr. Chernoff is highly skilled in performing the Ellevate neck contouring procedure as a standalone treatment or in combination with a mini lift or full face and neck lift, depending on each patient’s individual anatomy and aesthetic goals. Ellevate is a minimally invasive, suture suspension procedure designed to support the underlying platysma muscle and submandibular glands while redefining the jawline and enhancing neck contour. It is ideal for patients who are starting to see early signs of aging, particularly those with gland ptosis or muscle laxity but good skin elasticity.
In some patients, even after a well-performed facelift, the submandibular glands can still appear prominent due to their unique anatomy. In such cases, incorporating the Ellevate neck contouring procedure is key to providing additional structural support and achieving a smoother, more sculpted neck and jawline.
