A recent episode of the Dr. Oz Show featured a physician discussing a cosmetic procedure called the Y-Lift. Responding to patient inquiries, Dr. Richey was able to clear up some of the confusion on this topic. The brand name under discussion here is apparently proprietary and the procedure using this name was initiated by a physician in New York. It differs only slightly from the process that Dr. Richey and many cosmetic physicians across the country have been utilizing for many years to restore a youthful structure to the face using Injectable Filler Products. Rather than simply injecting appropriate formulas in the mid and upper face areas to produce a lifting and contouring effect, the Y Lift involves an additional step. A titanium instrument is used to lift the muscles in the treated areas prior to injecting a product, placing the formulas underneath the muscle to produce the desired effect. There is a variety of opinion in the aesthetic world as to whether the extra step actually yields additional benefits. Based on his research of the Y-Lift, Dr. Richey has concluded this: “The Y Lift offers nothing new. Using advanced techniques, I already place filler products under the muscle tissue to restore youthful facial volume.”
