Are Y LIFT® and chYnjection™ really “instant” procedures?
Yes. The entire procedure Y LIFT procedure takes between 15-30 minutes, while chYnjection takes between 10-15 minutes. The patient can immediately resume his or her daily activities post procedure.

How long is recovery?
There is no recover time with chYnjection or Y LIFT. However, you may feel slight tenderness, soreness and possible minor bruising for a couple of days post procedure.

Do the result vary from patient to patient?
Yes. The Y LIFT and chYnjection procedures uniquely benefits each patient. A very individualistic approach is utilized. As Dr. Trokel closely studies the facial structure of each patient, he customizes the procedure so that it naturally accents the patient’s specific features.

How do Y LIFT® and chYnjection™ differ from traditional surgical procedures?
Advancements in current cosmetic technology have made it possible to undergo non-invasive procedures that can mirror the results of traditional surgical procedures. Patients enjoy similar results without the unwelcoming post-operative effects, such as facial discomfort and extensive healing time.

Can the effect of the procedures be reversed?
Yes. Y LIFT and chYnjection are two of the few procedures that are completely reversible.

How long do the effects of the Y LIFT® and chYnjeciton™ last?
Both Y LIFT and chYnjection last between 1-3 years, depending on the type of product used and the rate it metabolizes within the body. Independent results vary. Periodic touch-ups are recommended to maintain the effects of the procedures.

How do Y LIFT® and chYnjection™ differ from other filler procedures?
The key to both the Y LIFT and chYnjection procedures are not the fillers, but the specialized instrumentation, placement, and technique developed by Dr. Yan Trokel. The instrument is inserted beneath the skin to instantly lift the muscles, fascia, and fat just below the skin. This adjustment provides the greatest lift in the face. A hyaluronic acid filler, a substance that is found naturally in the body, is then used to hold everything in its newly elevated position. The patient is then instantly restored, rejuvenated and enhanced.

May I have either the Y LIFT® or chYnjection™ procedure done the same day as my consultation?
Since our procedures are so minimally invasive, there is no prior testing required. Most patients elect to have the procedure done the same day as their consultation, as we schedule plenty of time for a thorough facial analysis as well as procedure time. This is especially true for patients traveling from outside of the area. Although, we do recommend staying the night somewhere nearby so you may come in for a brief follow up visit the next morning for a light facial massage and so that Dr. Trokel can make sure the product is settling in perfectly with your facial features. A follow up is not required, and is up to the patient to attend. Many patients feel perfectly comfortable flying back out the same day as their procedure. We do our very best to accommodate the needs of our traveling patients.

Where can I get the Y LIFT® or chYnjection™ procedures, and who does the procedure?
The Y LIFT and chYnjection are performed by Dr. Yan Trokel at his 3 locations–New York, Beverly Hills and Coral Springs, FL.
