The Y Lift
Non-surgical procedures are quickly gaining in popularity as a means of improving facial appearance by restoring the 3-Dimensional contour of the face without the need for surgery. We can restore volume loss and sculpt the face and cheeks as well as hydrating the skin. As we age the face loses volume, causing us to perceive our face as sagging or drooping. A simple way of restoring this lost volume is with the use of dermal fillers or collagen-stimulating products. The cheeks nasolabial lines and marionette lines can be treated to generate a lifting effect a look that is instantly rejuvenating’ attractive and natural in appearance, this is known as ‘The Y Lift’.
The Y-Lift is a procedure designed to enhance the normal contour of the cheek and produce a non-surgical lift of the mid-face. Dr Tracy Mountford of The Cosmetic Skin Clinic is a leading expert in The Y-Lift using Restylane Sub-Q & Juvederm Voluma by needle. This technique works best in the 40-65 year-old age group. A mid-face-lift and cheek enhancement is achieved with immediate results and very little down time.
Restylane Sub Q 'The Y Lift'
Sara says…..I can honestly say that I look better now than I did seven years ago. The best thing of all is that I still look natural, I just look the best natural me that I can! Not one person has ever asked me if I’ve had any treatment and that is all down to the skill of Dr Tracy Mountford and her team.
Treatments performed by The Cosmetic Skin Clinic: A number of treatments were performed gradually over a period of time: muscle relaxing treatments for the frown lines and crow’s feet, lip enhancement and a small amount of IPL skin rejuvenation to even out the skin tone and texture. Thermage (skin tightening and contouring) to tighten the jaw line, plus Restylane Sub Q filler ( The Y Lift) to enhance the cheek bones and give a mid-face lift.
Results: A dramatic softening & lifting effect to the mid face but still leaving Sara looking natural. Lines have been smoothed and the lips subtly enhanced giving a ‘happier’ mouth as opposed to the previous ‘sad’ look.
Restylane Sub Q 'The Y lift'
Angela says; “I am totally in awe of the treatments that have been carried out. A sympathetic enhancement process which means I stand closer to my mirror again, without feeling that sense of loss and sadness anymore. I no longer wake to the face a stranger – I wake to face the world again – My inner happiness and confidence is now radiating out for the world to see. My family are grown and spreading their wings, I took some time to invest in myself. They love seeing me so happy. I’m back out there. No longer invisible thanks to Tracy and her team. I have my edge back. The only one regret for me is why I waited so long! “
Treatment Performed by The Cosmetic Skin Clinic: Restylane Vital Skin rejuvenation all over her face – plumping up the skin and softening fine lines and wrinkles, Restylane Sub Q (The Y Lift) for cheek enhancement – to replace volume loss, Restylane Touch – Lipstick lines and Glabella.
Results: A dramatic lifting effect to the face replacing volume loss to the cheeks, restoring a youthful shape and contour to the face and an overall softening of wrinkles using skin rejuvenation, providing deep dermal hydration and moisturising from within to improve the overall tone and health of the skin. Restylane Vital stimulates the production of collagen and elastin to keep the skin looking plump and hydrated which diminishes the appearance of fine crêpey lines in the dermis where it was needed.

Throughout history lips have always attracted the most attention as the most sensual feature of the face. The 20th century has seen a multitude of trends and icons. Now in the new millennium the natural look is desirable.
Lip enhancement can deliver lips that are soft, sensuous and in harmony with your looks. As a doctor I have many years experience in non surgical aesthetics and my philosophy is simple, to restore, enhance and maintain beautiful looks.
In the past people were always asking me about more permanent materials being used in the quest for something to last significantly longer, this was something I was asked for a number of times. Nowadays we are steering well away from that kind of thing. It is much safer to inject natural products that break down in the skin naturally, normally over 6 to 9 months or so. In this way we can deliver exactly what a patient wants as they age, for example we may want slightly fuller lips in our thirties and to simply to get rid of lines in our fifties, so something that’s broken down over a period of time will mean that each time we see a patient we can tailor make that treatment accordingly.
