Y-LIFT in Asheville, NC

Shape and Rejuvenate

Seeing sagging skin and loss of facial volume in the mirror can be discouraging

A facelift can provide dramatic rejuvenation, but not everyone wants to undergo this type of surgery. Fortunately, it is not necessary to go under the knife to accomplish your cosmetic goals. Our Asheville Y-Lift is a minimally invasive procedure that can be completed in under one hour, transforming your face without the long recovery time of more invasive procedures.

The Y-Lift is a cosmetic treatment that utilizes dermal fillers to contour the face and neck without the need for surgery. This procedure is focused on enhancing the appearance of the cheekbones, jawline, and upper neck, giving the face a youthful and refreshed look in the shape of the letter Y. While each patient's treatment is customized to meet their specific needs, some general techniques may be employed.

During the procedure, the facial structure is thoroughly evaluated, and the skin on the face and neck is cleaned. Based on the patient's preference, a numbing agent may be administered. The dermal fillers used in the treatment, such as Galderma products approved by the FDA, are then injected into the deeper layers of the face with a specialized titanium instrument. This technique allows for a larger volume of filler to be used, producing natural-looking results without appearing overdone. Unlike most filler procedures which use only 1-2 units of filler, this is a full facial dermal replacement and uses over 10 units to produce a youthful, natural, appearance

After the injections are complete, the tissues are massaged and sculpted to optimize the outcome of the treatment. The Y-Lift is a minimally invasive procedure that takes less than an hour to perform and has minimal downtime. Patients can immediately return to their regular activities.

This procedure is also effective in reducing wrinkles and lines around the mouth, and it is suitable for individuals who desire to add volume and lift to the under-eye and cheekbone regions, contour the upper neck, and define the chin and jawline. During the Y-Lift Asheville patients will have a specialized blunt titanium instrument is inserted beneath their skin and muscle to elevate the muscles, and then hyaluronic acid fillers are injected to hold the muscle in its elevated position.
