What Is MyEllevate?

MyEllevate is a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedure that uses the patented ICLED® Surgical Suture System to lift and support the underlying structures of the jawline. The procedure places a continuous, permanent suture along the jaw, redefining contours and smoothing jowls without extensive surgery. This advanced technique provides precise tissue support and long-lasting results, typically lasting 5 years or more. Whether performed alone or combined with complementary treatments, MyEllevate offers a smart, efficient solution for jawline enhancement.

What Areas Can Be Treated With MyEllevate in Tampa?

    • Jawline and chin: Smooth jowls create defined contours
    • Lower face: Enhance facial harmony and balance
    • Complementary areas: Can be paired with other non-surgical rejuvenation or energy-based treatments for comprehensive improvement

    MyEllevate® is ideal for patients noticing early sagging or contour changes, those seeking subtle refinement, or anyone wishing to rejuvenate their lower face with minimal downtime.

    The MyEllevate Procedure What to Expect

    Consultation

    Dr. Politis assesses your jawline and lower face, discussing goals, evaluating tissue quality, and recommending whether MyEllevate alone or in combination with other treatments is ideal.

    Procedure

    Using the ICLED light-guided suture system, Dr. Politis places a permanent suture, a surgical thread support system, under the skin along the jawline, lifting tissues with minimal disruption.

    Recovery

    Downtime is limited. Some mild swelling or bruising may occur, but most patients resume daily activities quickly within a few days.

    Results

    Improved jawline definition is visible immediately, with continued refinement over several weeks as tissues settle and heal. Long-lasting results can be enjoyed for five years or more.

    Frequently Asked Questions MyEllevate

    Who is a candidate for MyEllevate®?

    Patients with mild to moderate sagging along the jawline or jowls, early signs of aging in the lower face, or those seeking subtle, natural rejuvenation are excellent candidates. Extreme or excess loose skin may require a more surgical approach.

    Is MyEllevate® painful?

    Discomfort is minimal. Local anesthesia is used, and most patients report only mild soreness or tenderness afterward. It could be compared to the sensation of having stitches, only they are not closing a wound, but providing support.

    How long does the procedure take?

    Typically, MyEllevate® is completed in one office visit, with procedural times varying depending on the individual’s anatomy and treatment plan. Allow yourself about 2 hours to be in the office as a good rule of thumb.

    What about after care?

    You will receive comprehensive aftercare instructions during your pre-operative consultation; it is our forte. We recommend planning ahead by having a car service or someone ready to drive you home post-operation and taking it easy for the first day or two for safety.

    When will I see results?

    Immediate improvements are noticeable, with final results refining over several weeks as tissues heal and settle into their newly lifted position.

    How long do results last?

    Results typically last five years or longer, depending on individual aging patterns and lifestyle factors.

    Are there risks?

    As with any procedure, minor swelling, bruising, or temporary discomfort may occur. Dr. Politis takes every precaution to ensure safety and predictable outcomes.

    Can MyEllevate be combined with other treatments?

    Yes. It works well alongside non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments such as energy-based devices, dermal fillers, or neuromodulators for a comprehensive facial refresh.

    Will I have scars?

    No. The procedure uses small puncture points where the surgical thread enters the skin in the area of the jawline. These heal quickly, leaving minimal to no visible scarring.
