A minimally invasive technique for facelift
Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and on the forehead are the first signs of ageing on the face. As the years go by, the skin loses elasticity, slightly sags and the contours of the face change a little bit as well. Many skin tightening facial treatments or plastic surgery can help with aging.
A ponytail facelift is a minimally invasive plastic surgery procedure that involves pulling your facial skin upwards, as you would if your hair were held up in a tight and high ponytail at the top of your head. This technique effectively lifts your entire face, creating a firm, smooth, wrinkle-free and youthful effect.
The name ponytail facelift is not a medical term. It was named as part of a marketing campaign to distinguish the treatment from other facelifts. However, it is a very good description of the effects and results of this plastic surgery procedure.
Because the ponytail facelift is performed using an endoscopic technique, we cannot remove excess skin during the treatment, which would require much wider incisions.
Effects of the ponytail lift
- The entire face is lifted and the sagging of the skin is significantly reduced. Wrinkles and fine lines on the forehead, around the eyes and the bridge of the nose are eliminated.
- The skin of the neck and chin also becomes firmer.
- The eyebrows and eyes are lifted, giving an open look.
No surgical scars, quick recovery
Surgical scars will not be visible at all, as tiny incisions are placed behind the ear. After the surgery, you will be able to wear your hair in a ponytail. As it is a less invasive procedure, the recovery time is also much shorter.
It provides a very impressive lifting effect that tightens essentially the entire face. The lifting of the forehead, temples, chin, cheeks and eyebrows gives a youthful, renewed yet a natural effect.
Procedure
Prior to your surgery, you will have a consultation with our plastic surgeon to discuss your individual treatment plan, the exact procedure and aftercare questions. You'll then need to have a full check-up to make sure you're completely healthy.
On the day of surgery, we will prepare you for the procedure by disinfecting the treated area and applying a local anesthetic. During the surgery, we will perform an endoscopic procedure. First, the plastic surgeon will make tiny incisions behind your ears at your hairline, which will be practically invisible after the operation. We then pull the skin upwards at the different incision points, lifting and tightening the face.
After the operation, you will need to stay in the clinic for a few hours for observation, but then you will be discharged with an accompanying person.
