Out with the old and in with the new! speaks volumes in the seductive world of beauty. What's out? Face lifts! Why are they out? Because the Y Lift is in. The search for the fountain of youth is never ending and, truth be told, we've all tried many different things to achieve a more youthful appearance. Most of the information available is too technical to understand and the simplest questions are often left unanswered. Who? What? Where? When? And why? I recently met Dr. Yan Trokel, creator and founder of the Y Lift, and he blew me away with the basics of what this revolutionary procedure is, how it is performed and how the pros heavily outweigh cons.
So who is Dr. Yan Trokel? Beyond being a surgeon specializing in cosmetic facial surgery, Trokel is also the founder and director of The YAN Center for corrective and cosmetic surgery. Little did I know that in the short time we discussed the Y Lift, he easily could have performed it on me and possibility someone else in the office. Afterwards we would simply return to our hectic work day without anyone being abler to tell that we had any sort of procedure performed-except ...
... for the fact that we'd look remarkably younger. The Y Lift gets its name from the youthful facial contours that are shaped like letter Y. To make me better understand he traced a letter Y on my face with his fingers as he explained. The center point of the Y would be the crevice between your upper lip and the tip of your nose. Now, imagine the arms lying in the contours of your cheeks and the Y's standing leg ending at the point of your chin. The face appears wide at the top in the eye and cheekbone region and then narrows to a point at the chin. As we age the arms of the Y shape begin to widen steadily downward. As this widening focus, the youthful shape of the face begins to disappear. The Y Lift itself is a new, proven, non-invasive procedure that resources and improves the appearance of the face from the forehead to the eyes, to the jaw line and even the neck, more effectively and with more natural-looking results than now-outdated facelift.
Trokel explained that the face is like a balloon. Over time as the balloon deflates or loses volume, the surface that was once taut becomes misshapen, wrinkled and sunken. The traditional solution would be to remove and tighten excess skin, which is what occurs during a traditional facelift, but instead with the Y Lift you can replenish lost volume and restore beautiful and youthful facial contours.
To do this, Trokel created and patented the instruments to restore the foundation of face. The procedure entails strategically marking and carefully mapping out the shape of the lift. Trokel's proprietary specialized instrument is utilized to make a tiny needle opening at the top of the cheek bone and then inserted beneath the skin to instantly lift the muscles, fascia and fat underlying the skin. This is held in its new position with a hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps to add volume and hydration. The results are immediate with no bruising, swelling or downtime; no scalpels, stitches or anesthesia required. Trokel showed me many before and after photos of patients, and the range of age is what made me ask, When should one decide to have a Y Lift? I was amazed to discover that this is not only for the old. The Y Lift has many benefits for adults of all ages. The Y Lift is best used to restore facial symmetry blushed, brighten and accentuate the eyes and lift and firm the skin including the neck area.

Throughout the beauty industry the Y Lift has quickly picked up some serious buzz and has even acquired a street name - the lunchtime facelift. The procedure typically takes 15 to 45 minutes, which varies case by case as it is designed to each individual face. Once complete you can resume your day immediately after. This will definitely have everyone at the office dying to lunch with you! And Y not?
