Y Lift®

The Y LIFT® is based on the notion that youthful facial contours are shaped like the letter “Y”.
For example, if you were to superimpose a “Y” over the face you would see that it appears wide at the top spanning the eye & cheekbone region and then narrows down to a point culminating at the chin.

What Can The Y LIFT® Do For You?

  • Accentuates the cheekbone region & under eye hollowness

Yes. The Y LIFT® is one of the few procedures that is completely reversible.

How Long Do The Effects Of The Y LIFT® Last?
