A defined jawline and smooth neck are major signs of youth—but as we age, loose skin and muscle laxity can get in the way. Whether you’re just starting to notice sagging or you’re ready for a more dramatic transformation, there’s a solution. At the Pennsylvania Centre for Plastic Surgery, Dr. Scott Brenman offers both MyEllevate and traditional neck lift surgery to help patients look and feel their best.
Not sure which is right for you? Let’s break it down.
Quick Snapshot: Key Differences
| MyEllevate | Traditional Neck Lift | |
| Invasiveness | Minimally invasive (no large incisions) | Surgical with visible incisions |
| Anesthesia | Local or light sedation | General anesthesia |
| Downtime | Minimal (a few days) | 10–14 days |
| Scarring | Tiny punctures hidden under the jaw | Incisions behind the ears/chin |
| Best For | Early signs of aging, mild laxity | Moderate to severe sagging |
| Results | Natural lift, more subtle improvement | Dramatic, long-lasting contouring |
What Is MyEllevate?
MyEllevate® is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure designed to lift and support the underlying neck structure without removing skin. Using a light-guided suture system, Dr. Brenman can tighten the muscles under the jaw and improve definition—often in less than an hour.
It’s a great option for patients who want noticeable results but aren’t ready for surgery.
What Is a Traditional Neck Lift?
A traditional neck lift is a surgical procedure that addresses excess skin, fat, and muscle laxity in the neck and jawline. Dr. Brenman uses precise techniques to remove or reposition tissue, tighten underlying muscles, and restore youthful contours.
The result? A smoother, firmer neck that can take 10–15 years off your appearance.
Which One Is Right for You?
Choose MyEllevate if you:
- Have mild to moderate skin or muscle laxity
- Prefer a minimally invasive approach
- Want little to no downtime
- Are looking for a subtle, natural lift
Choose a Traditional Neck Lift if you:

- Want dramatic, longer-lasting results
