A suture suspension neck lift, also known as an “elevate neck lift,” is a cosmetic surgical procedure that is used to tighten and lift the skin on the neck and jawline. It is a minimally invasive procedure that is often performed in combination with other facial rejuvenation procedures, such as a facelift or a brow lift.
During a suture suspension neck lift, the surgeon will make small incisions behind the ears or under the chin. Through these incisions, the surgeon will insert suture threads that are anchored to the underlying muscle and tissue. The suture threads will be tightened and secured in place, lifting and tightening the skin on the neck and jawline. The procedure is typically performed with a light intravenous sedation.

A suture suspension neck lift can help to improve the appearance of loose, sagging skin on the neck and jawline, giving the face a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance. It is a relatively quick procedure, and most patients are able to return to their normal activities within a few days.
It’s important to note that a suture suspension neck lift is a surgical procedure and should be performed by a qualified plastic surgeon with extensive experience and facial surgery. Like any surgical procedure, it carries some potential risks and complications, such as infection, scarring, and the possibility of the suture threads breaking or needing to be removed. It’s important to discuss the potential risks and benefits of a suture suspension neck lift with a qualified healthcare provider before deciding to have the procedure

However, the elevate suture suspension neck lift is a nice bridge to a facelift and is ideal for someone who may not yet need a full facelift but wants better definition in a jawline and is an excellent bridge to a facelift in the future
