Define your jawline. Rejuvenate your neck. Without a traditional surgical neck lift.
MyEllevate is an innovative, minimally invasive neck and jawline rejuvenation procedure designed to create a more defined, youthful-looking lower face with minimal downtime.
Serving Denver, Broomfield, Westminster, Boulder, Arvada, and surrounding areas.
Loose skin, changes beneath the chin, and reduced jawline definition can dramatically change the appearance of the lower face as we age.
MyEllevate gives Dr. Janowski the ability to address the underlying structures of the neck and jawline through a minimally invasive approach, without the incisions and extensive recovery associated with a traditional surgical neck lift.
Using the innovative ICLED® light-guided suture system, Dr. Janowski can precisely place a supportive suture beneath the skin to help redefine and support the neck and jawline.

MyEllevate is a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedure designed to improve the appearance of the neck and jawline without a traditional surgical neck lift.
The procedure uses the ICLED® light-guided suture system, developed by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gregory Mueller. The technology allows Dr. Janowski to visualize and precisely guide the placement of a supportive suture beneath the skin.
Unlike treatments that address only the surface of the skin, MyEllevate allows the underlying structures of the neck to be supported through small access points rather than traditional surgical incisions.
The result is a more defined jawline and rejuvenated neck with considerably less tissue trauma than conventional surgery.
One of the reasons the neck can begin to look less defined with age is that aging involves more than just the skin.
Changes to the underlying muscles, glands, fat, and supporting structures can all affect the angle and definition of the neck and jawline.
During a MyEllevate procedure, the ICLED light-guided system helps Dr. Janowski map the treatment area and accurately position a permanent braided polyester suture beneath the skin and over the underlying muscle.
The suture creates a continuous support structure along the treatment area, helping improve definition and support the tissues of the neck and jawline.
Because the procedure is performed without the extensive incisions associated with a traditional neck lift, patients can typically expect a significantly easier recovery.
Sonata offers several options for rejuvenating the neck, jawline, and lower face. The best treatment depends on what is creating the concern in the first place.
MINT threads are absorbable PDO sutures placed beneath the skin to lift and reposition facial tissue. They can be an excellent option for patients who want to address mild to moderate skin laxity, jowling, and facial sagging without surgery.
MyEllevate uses a permanent braided polyester suture placed deeper than a traditional thread lift. Instead of individual threads lifting specific areas, MyEllevate creates a continuous supportive loop beneath the jawline.
This allows the procedure to provide longer-term structural support to the neck and lower face.
Not sure which treatment you need?
During your consultation, Dr. Janowski will evaluate your skin, underlying anatomy, jawline, neck, and goals to determine which approach is most appropriate.
MyEllevate can be an excellent option for patients who are beginning to notice changes in their neck and jawline but are not ready for, or do not need, a traditional surgical neck lift.
An ideal candidate may have:
For some patients, MyEllevate may help postpone or eliminate the need for a more invasive surgical neck lift. Other patients may benefit more from MINT threads, liposuction, energy-based treatments, injectables, or a combination approach.
A consultation is the best way to determine the appropriate treatment.
The goal of a Sonata neck lift is not to make you look like a different person. It is to restore cleaner contours and create a more youthful relationship between the face, jawline, and neck.
MyEllevate results can include:
Results are visible soon after treatment and continue to settle as swelling resolves and the treatment area heals.
Results may vary from patient to patient.
Before Your Procedure:
Your treatment begins with a detailed consultation with Dr. Janowski. He will evaluate the anatomy of your neck and jawline, discuss what is contributing to your concerns, and determine whether MyEllevate or another treatment is most appropriate.
You will also receive individualized instructions to help you prepare for your procedure.
After Your Procedure:
Because MyEllevate is minimally invasive and does not require the extensive incisions of traditional neck lift surgery, recovery is generally much shorter.
Some swelling, tenderness, and bruising should be expected as the area heals. The Sonata team will provide detailed aftercare instructions and guide you through the recovery process.
Results can be visible relatively quickly, with the neck and jawline continuing to settle and refine as healing progresses.
A successful neck rejuvenation treatment is about much more than choosing a device or procedure. It requires understanding how the skin, fat, muscles, glands, jawline, and overall facial proportions work together.
Dr. Janowski has spent decades studying and performing medical aesthetic treatments and continues to train in advanced techniques and technologies.
At Sonata, your treatment is never approached as a one-size-fits-all procedure. Dr. Janowski evaluates the entire lower face and neck to determine whether MyEllevate, MINT threads, liposuction, injectables, energy-based treatments, or a customized combination will create the most natural result.
The Sonata Approach
MyEllevate is a minimally invasive procedure designed to rejuvenate and support the neck and jawline without the extensive incisions required for a traditional surgical neck lift.
No. One of the benefits of MyEllevate is that general anesthesia is not required.
Changes to the neck and jawline can be visible soon after treatment. Results continue to refine as swelling subsides and the area heals.
MyEllevate uses a non-absorbable braided polyester suture designed to provide long-term structural support. Individual longevity will vary depending on anatomy, aging, lifestyle, and other factors.
There is significantly less downtime than with traditional neck lift surgery, although swelling, tenderness, and bruising can occur after treatment.
Neither treatment is universally “better.” They address different anatomical needs. MINT threads can be excellent for lifting skin and improving mild to moderate facial laxity, while MyEllevate provides a deeper continuous support system beneath the jawline. Dr. Janowski will recommend the most appropriate treatment during your consultation.
Yes. Depending on your anatomy and goals, Dr. Janowski may recommend combining neck and jawline treatments to address skin laxity, fat, volume, or other concerns.
You don’t necessarily need a traditional facelift or neck lift to create meaningful improvement.
Schedule a consultation with Dr. Janowski to learn whether MyEllevate or another personalized neck and jawline treatment is right for you.
