What is the Y-Lift®?

The Y-Lift® is based on the notion that youthful facial contours resemble the letter “Y”. When superimposed over the face, the “Y” appears wide at the top, spanning the eye and cheekbone region, and narrows down to a point at the chin.

What Can the Y-Lift® Do for You?

● Accentuates the cheekbone region and under-eye hollowness
● Defines the jawline and eliminates jowls
● Significantly improves the upper neck area
● Refines lines around the mouth (smile lines)

Traditional surgical facelift

Is the Y-Lift® Right for You?

The Y-Lift® is designed for women and men ages 25–80 who want to address visible signs of facial aging without undergoing surgery. It’s especially effective if you’re noticing:

Sagging skin or jowling along the jaw
Flat or hollowed cheeks
Loss of definition in the chin or upper neck
Deep smile lines or marionette lines

Every Y-Lift® is customized — we closely study your facial structure before the procedure and tailor the technique to naturally accent your specific features. No two results look the same.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is the Y-Lift® really a “lunchtime facelift”?

Yes, patients can immediately resume their daily activities post-procedure.

Do the results vary from patient to patient?

Yes, the Y-Lift® uniquely benefits each patient through a customized approach that naturally accents their specific features.

How is the Y-Lift® different from a traditional facelift?

Advancements in cosmetic technology allow for non-invasive procedures that mirror traditional facelift results without the discomfort and extensive healing time.

Can the effect of the procedure be reversed?

Yes, the Y-Lift® is one of the few procedures that is completely reversible.

How long do the effects of the Y-Lift® last?

The Y-Lift® lasts between 1-3 years, depending on the product used and how it metabolizes within the body. Periodic touch-ups are recommended.

How does the Y-Lift® differ from other filler procedures?

The key to the Y-Lift® is not just the fillers, but the specialized instrumentation, placement, and technique developed by Dr. Yan Trokel. The instrument is inserted beneath the skin to lift the muscles, fascia, and fat. A hyaluronic acid filler is then used to hold everything in its newly elevated position, instantly restoring and rejuvenating the face.
