Y LIFT®
Aging can bring about natural but unwanted changes in the face, including jowls, wrinkles, and hollowness under the eyes. Certified Y LIFT® provider Dr. Suzanne Yee can refresh and rejuvenate your features from under the eyes to the upper neck—without surgery. Find out why patients at our Little Rock, AR, practice are choosing the Y LIFT.
3 Advantages of a Y LIFT
No Surgery or Downtime
A Y LIFT can be completed without general anesthesia or incisions in a short procedure lasting under 30 minutes. Because there is no surgery involved, men and women can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
Nearly Instant Results
A Y LIFT can give you similar results to a facelift without post-operative discomfort and other effects. Many patients see improvements the very next day after their treatment.
Long-Lasting Benefits
During a Y LIFT, Dr. Yee will use dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid to accentuate your facial features. Hyaluronic acid is naturally and slowly absorbed by the body, so your results can last anywhere from one to three years.
More about the Y Lift
Y LIFT is a non-surgical facial contouring technique first developed by Dr. Yan Trokel. The cosmetic procedure is based on the idea that youthful facial contours (from the eyes, through the cheekbone region, and down to the chin) follow a “Y” shape, so Y LIFT providers focus on accentuating those areas without surgery.
During the procedure, a specialized instrument is placed beneath the skin to instantly lift the underlying tissue. We then use fillers to hold the newly lifted tissue in place. The procedure is customized to the features of every patient, so it can produce incredibly natural-looking results.

Instant Lifting from the Eyes to the Neck
Many areas of the face can be addressed with this minimally invasive treatment.
- Under the Eyes – This procedure can correct under eye hollowness, which often contributes to a gaunt or aged appearance.
- Cheekbones – Accentuating the cheekbones can give you a more youthful and defined appearance.
- Chin & Upper Neck – This procedure can eliminate sagging jowls and achieve a more defined jawline. Your face might also look slimmer.
Unwanted facial lines and wrinkles can make you look and feel older than you really are. However, people often avoid cosmetic treatments such as facelifts because they are surgical and require downtime to heal. The Y LIFT procedure is an innovative, non-surgical option to help smooth away lines and wrinkles along the jawline and face for a fuller, more contoured appearance.

The Best Candidates for a Y LIFT
Concerns & Goals
To begin your consultation, Dr. Yee will ask you to point out areas of your face that make you unhappy. If these include your under eye area, cheekbones, or jawline, you may be a good candidate.
Skin Laxity
Although this lift can correct some degree of sagging skin, it is not designed to remove any tissue. If you have excess fat or skin on your face, you may be a better candidate for surgery.
Overall Health
Hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring, so there are no allergy restrictions. But you will need to maintain a healthy lifestyle and quit habits like smoking, which prematurely ages the skin, for the best results.
Consider Combining Your Y LIFT
Consider Combining Your Y LIFT
With Other Cosmetic Treatments
Although the Y LIFT is a great way to restore and rejuvenate your facial features without plastic surgery, if your cosmetic concerns extend to your brows, eyelids, or nose, Dr. Yee may recommend facial plastic surgery instead or in addition to your Y LIFT.
Because Dr. Yee offers virtually every type of surgical and non-surgical procedure at our Little Rock practice, she can give you many options to choose from that are also better-suited to your needs. You can combine your Y LIFT with a brow lift, lip augmentation, blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, or other cosmetic procedure for a complete transformation. Dr. Yee also offers procedures targeting other parts of the body to help patients enhance their complete figure.

The Steps to a Y LIFT Procedure
1
Consultation
An initial consultation at our Little Rock practice is needed so Dr. Yee can ensure that a Y LIFT is right for you.
2
Areas Marked
Dr. Yee will mark the areas where the dermal fillers will be injected. This allows her to map out the right areas of your face so the results will look as natural as possible.
3
Anesthetic
A local anesthetic cream can be used to numb the skin to reduce any discomfort.
4
Dermal Fillers
Once the area is cleaned, Dr. Yee will begin your Y LIFT procedure by injecting the dermal fillers into areas along the jaw and cheekbones. The amount used is customized to each patient to achieve the desired results.
5
Post Procedure
Once the procedure is completed, most people resume their normal activities. Patients are encouraged to keep the treatment area clean for the day.
Y LIFT FAQs
The Y LIFT is non-surgical and uses dermal fillers that are injected into strategic areas of the face. There may be some minor discomfort with the injection, but the procedure should not be painful.
Medical insurance does not typically cover cosmetic procedures.
Some patients will notice results immediately. Others will see results over the course of a few days following their Y LIFT procedure.
Yes. The Y LIFT is a minimally invasive procedure that requires no incisions and the dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid, which has no allergy restrictions. There is a small risk of irritation or infections at the injection site, but side effects are rare and the Y LIFT is a very safe treatment option.
Both BOTOX® Cosmetic and the dermal fillers used in a Y LIFT are effective ways to smooth fine lines and wrinkles. However, BOTOX smooths away wrinkles by relaxing the underlying muscles and preventing them from contracting, while the Y LIFT fills in wrinkles. Both are FDA-approved, non-surgical, cosmetic treatments.
Dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a sugar that naturally occurs within the body. Some fillers also contain calcium hydroxylapatite, a mineral found within bone, and poly-L-lactic acid, a biodegradable, synthetic material. All FDA-approved fillers will naturally break down and absorb in the body safely over the course of several years.
