General Factors That Influence the Cost of Asian Aesthetic Procedures
The cost of all Asian aesthetic procedures—even those that are less invasive like MyEllevate—is made up of multiple different elements. The components include:
Provider's Expertise and Qualifications
The experience level and qualifications of your provider are critical, especially for a procedure like MyEllevate that requires specific technical training. Not everyone is qualified to perform it. Additionally, working with a provider who understands the nuances of Asian facial anatomy and aesthetic preferences can offer additional value.
Facility and Medical Team
Depending on where a procedure is performed, and the personnel that must be involved, these costs could include:
- Operating theatre fees
- Medical support staff
- Equipment and technology
- Recovery room facilities
Anaesthesia
The type of anaesthesia used during a procedure affects its safety protocols and cost. General anaesthesia is a more complex tool and its costs reflect that.
Geographic Location
As it is a major metropolitan area, the pricing of Asian plastic surgery in Sydney may be higher than elsewhere. This reflects the higher operating costs and standards of care in the region, as well as the level of expertise available.
Pre- and Post-Procedure Care
Your investment includes more than just the procedure itself. Your care plan also might include:
- Pre-procedure assessments
- Post-procedure follow-up appointments
- Recovery support and monitoring
- Any necessary adjustments or handling of complications
MyEllevate Procedure Specifics and Their Impact on Cost
Next, let’s take a deeper look at what makes MyEllevate unique and how these differences affect your investment:
Surgeon’s Training
Due to its specialised training requirements, MyEllevate is not offered by all physicians. Dr Ellis Choy, a fully qualified specialist plastic surgeon, was among the first in Australia to complete this training and become a certified MyEllevate provider.
Facility
Because MyEllevate is less invasive than a traditional neck lift, it does not need to take place in a hospital-based facility or a day surgery centre. A properly equipped procedure room in a plastic surgery clinic is sufficient.
Anaesthesia Requirements
MyEllevate is typically performed using local anaesthesia. This is a more cost-effective option than general anaesthesia, which requires an anaesthetist, more recovery time on site, and additional monitoring equipment and staff.
Recovery Considerations
MyEllevate generally involves:
- Shorter downtime compared to neck lift surgery
- Fewer restrictions during recovery
- Less extensive aftercare requirements
These factors can make the overall investment more manageable, both in terms of direct costs and time away from work or daily activities.
Technical Requirements
The MyEllevate procedure involves specialised equipment and materials that must meet Australian safety and quality standards. These components contribute to the total cost but are essential for improving patient safety and results.
Procedure Purpose
MyEllevate is a cosmetic procedure performed purely for aesthetic enhancement. As such, it does not qualify for Medicare benefits, private health insurance coverage or hospital insurance rebates.

Cost Comparison With Other Neck Treatments
MyEllevate offers a middle ground between surgery and nonsurgical treatments. Many people find this appealing, but it may not be the only option available to you or a suitable fit for your goals. Here is how it compares to a few popular alternatives:
Surgical Neck Lift
A traditional neck lift is typically more expensive than MyEllevate due to:
- Requirement for general anaesthesia and an anaesthetist
- Longer operating time
- Facility admission fees
- More extensive recovery care
On average, a surgical neck lift in Sydney is likely to cost $20,000 to $25,000.
Neck Liposuction
Neck liposuction targets excess fat under the chin and along the jawline. This procedure generally costs less than MyEllevate ($6,000 to $8,000, on average). However, it has a narrow focus.
Liposuction only targets fat. It cannot address muscle laxity or skin looseness, which MyEllevate is designed to improve. Cost is less important than matching the right procedure to the patient’s goals.
RF Microneedling
Radiofrequency microneedling treatments like Profound and Secret can improve skin texture and provide a mild tightening effect. These treatments typically have a lower cost per session than MyEllevate, but often require:
- Multiple initial treatment sessions
- Ongoing maintenance treatments
RF microneedling generally falls between $4,000 and $6,000. The cumulative cost of a complete RF microneedling treatment plan may approach or exceed the one-time cost of MyEllevate, while providing less significant results.
The Cost of MyEllevate in Sydney
At Asian Plastic Surgery, MyEllevate typically ranges from $13,000 to $17,000. This investment reflects the high standards of care and expertise provided in our clinic, as well as the special training the procedure requires.
This range is a general guideline only. The exact cost of your MyEllevate procedure will depend on your specific needs and treatment plan. Following your consultation at Asian Plastic Surgery, you will receive a comprehensive Cost/Payment Schedule that clearly outlines all expenses associated with your procedure.
