The aesthetic medical profession is currently experiencing an exciting moment in history where the scientific possibilities available to plastic, facial plastic and cosmetic surgeons are rapidly increasing with new techniques and technologies that improve or even change established protocols and safely deliver superior patient results. In this ground breaking interview with Aesthetic Insider™, Gregory Mueller, MD, a board certified plastic surgeon located in Beverly Hills, CA, discusses Ellevate™ a new and exciting minimally invasive lower face jawline and neck rejuvenation procedure he has pioneered. The Ellevate™ procedure is a completely new approach to address the underlying muscles and glands of the neck. To date no other minimally invasive technology exists that will treat the underlying neck structures percutaneously. The Ellevate™ procedure is a great adjunct to all technologies and approaches that either tighten the skin or remove/dissolve fat. Many of these approaches leave visible neck bands and droopy glands. Ellevate™ is the first and only procedure that allows the oversewing of these structures to support and shape the neck contours underneath the skin. Dr. Mueller invented the ICLED® light guided surgical system that is used to perform the Ellevate™ procedure. The ICLED® is also used in many applications such as brow lifts, brow shaping, facelifts, and breast reconstruction. To learn more, visit www.myellevate.com.

Rubinstein, MD, a pioneering early adopter of the new Ellevate™ minimally invasive surgical procedure for lowerface, jawline and neck rejuvenation discusses why he chose to train in the Ellevate™ procedure and offer it to his patients. As with all new scientific technologies and procedures, the early adopter pioneers such as Dr. Rubinstein are critical to the growth of aesthetic medicine and its best practices because they are the surgeons who perform new procedures using new technologies that will ultimately help shape and set the medical standards and surgical protocols for the next generation of surgeons.
