The Treatment:
As we age the face loses volume, causing us to perceive our face as sagging or drooping. A simple way of restoring this lost volume is with the use of dermal fillers or collagen-stimulating products.
When the skin's elasticity declines dramatically, the effects of gravity become all too evident. Gravity causes the tip of the nose to droop, the ears to elongate, the eyelids to fall, jowls to form, and the upper lip to disappear while the lower lip becomes more slack exposing the bottom teeth. We can restore volume loss and sculpt the face and cheeks as well as hydrating the skin.
Non-surgical procedures are quickly gaining in popularity as a means of improving facial appearance by restoring the three-dimensional contour of the face without the need for surgery. The cheeks, nasolabial lines and marionette lines can be treated to generate a lifting effect, a look that is instantly rejuvenating, attractive and natural in appearance, this is also known as The Y-Lift.
The Y-Lift is achieved by using dermal fillers and volumisers such as Restylane Sub-Q This enhances the natural contour of the cheeks giving a subtle cheek augmentation to create a mid face lift, combined with facial fillers in the nose to mouth lines and corners of the mouth to tip the mouth up and generate a lower lift to the face. This procedure has immediate results and very little down time. This technique works best in the 40-65 year-old age group.
The Cost:
The total Y-Lift procedure costs around £1200-1500 depending how much volume you need. The treatment lasts between 9-12 months or longer depending on the individual, but top ups are usually required in smaller doses and at a cheaper cost to the initial treatment. Cheek augmentation alone is £800.
