Ponytail Lift (Scarless Endoscopic Facelift)

What is a ponytail facelift?

Here we reveal information about the innovative lifting procedure or ponytail faceft in Madrid and Valencia (Endoscopic Facelift without visible scars) performed by Dr. Villamarín.

It is a comprehensive facelift procedure that attempts to minimize incisions and make them invisible. It is the least invasive degree of facelift with surgery (microlifting or micro facelift). It is especially designed for younger patients with mild sagging changes in the eyebrows, face and neck, minimal distention with minimal excess skin. Here are the main benefits of this advanced technique:

Refresh or transform your face (and with extension to the neck if necessary) through minimal and invisible incisions.
Long-lasting and natural results.
Procedure usually outpatient and under local anesthesia with sedation.
Sculpt the eyebrows by rotating and without overlifting, to obtain natural results and avoid the scared look.
It usually includes eyelid (gaze) surgery to obtain more beautiful results and refresh the look.
It may include endoscopic neck lift surgery to improve the appearance of the neck while eliminating a double chin.
Minimal and hidden incisions, without distortion of the hairline or the natural anatomy of the ear, so the tragus of the ear (pinna) is not altered.
Minimal invasion (keyhole or endoscopic facelift surgery) with this technique, since Dr. Villamarín keeps the skin and fat layers together, so that they remain healthy and oxygenated, and thus achieve youthful and vital-looking skin after surgery.
Faster recovery time and less inflammation, usually.
It usually includes a facial rejuvenation technique with regenerative cells, to add youthful fullness, also preventing the haggard and hollow appearance for many years.
Refresh your natural beauty with a more youthful appearance.

The absence of visible scars, especially when clearing the hair from the ears with the high ponytail hairstyle, and the directional continuity of the almost vertical vectors of elevation of the eyebrows, cheeks and rest of the face, consistent With the style of this hairstyle, they produce a glamorous effect on the facial appearance and gaze that has made this technique popular in recent times.

Am I a good candidate for ponytail facelift in Madrid and Valencia?

Dr. Villamarín will study each case to decide if the patient may be an ideal candidate for this less invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia, in order to achieve excellent results.

Candidates for a ponytail or facelift procedure should also be in good general health, have mild facial aging changes, and have realistic expectations. They should not suffer from skin, infectious, immune diseases, hypertension or uncontrolled diabetes. It is strongly recommended not to smoke from 1 month before surgery to 1 month after surgery. The patient must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.

Dr. Villamarín will meet with each patient individually to determine if they may benefit from a ponytail facelift. During this consultation, a thorough examination of the forehead, face and neck in general will be carried out. The objectives, benefits, results and alternatives without surgery will be discussed with Dr. Villamarín and then he will design a detailed and adapted treatment plan or tailor made for each patient. In the case of surgery, a preoperative procedure will be ordered and postoperative recommendations will be provided in accordance with the protocol for said procedure.

What kind of anesthesia do we use?

Local anesthesia with sedation.

The ponytail facelift procedure in Madrid and Valencia

There are some variations of the procedure. As a microsurgeon, Dr. Villamarín prefers to use a closed approach, usually endoscopic with 1 or 2 small hidden microincisions (depending on each case) and therefore invisible, all of which is usually combined with centrofacial lipofilling. With this, we raise the eyebrows, the lateral periocular region, the cheeks, and slight falls in the jaw and neck area. Age, sex, type of problem and associated problems, as well as some other parameters, are key in deciding which technique to use. In some cases it can be combined with platysmaplasty, mentoplasty, lip lift or blepharoplasty Dr. Villamarín Madrid and Valencia.

Post Procedure Care

After the procedure, we will begin medication and post-operative recommendations and you will return to the comfort of your home or hotel room. Medications, physical measures, and cold packs will be used to reduce swelling for the first two days after the procedure. Hilotherapy, as well as the hyperbaric chamber are innovative treatments that promote healing in the postoperative period and that Dr. Villamarín optionally recommends after some of his procedures. There will be follow-up as per protocol to monitor healing and make sure all your questions are answered.

Recovery from ponytail facelift Madrid and Valencia

Recovery is mainly related to swelling and in rare cases with bruising. Recovery typically takes 7 to 14 days, depending on the procedures performed, and we recommend planning two weeks off work or social engagements to allow plenty of time to recover.

Minor swelling continues to improve steadily for up to several weeks after the procedure. Exercise can be resumed 1-2 weeks after the procedure, depending on the nature of the activity and the degree of inflammation involved.

What to expect from the ponytail facelift?

The ponytail facelift gives excellent results and will eliminate mild cases of facial sagging and eyebrows. In short, it softens facial expression lines and restores a rejuvenated and long-lasting presence.

How long will the result last?

It depends on the case. In general, the first effects are usually seen in 2-3 weeks and the result usually lasts 5-6 years. Maintenance is required.

The passing of the years produces progressive changes in the forehead and eyebrows, face and neck. When the disorder affects the entire face and neck, a global lifting and volumizing approach is best. The fewer changes there are, the less surgical invasiveness that Dr. Villamarín uses to solve it, both without surgery and with surgery. If the changes can no longer or must be fixed without surgery, or the patient desires a permanent solution, surgery is recommended. A ponytail facelift is recommended as a first step for minor changes in the face. For more important aging changes, a mini facelift or a standard facelift and necklift is recommended.

I met Dr. Villamarín through a friend of mine who went to him and was very satisfied. It was not the first time that I went to aesthetic treatments.

I am very satisfied with the results and I continue to go to his consultation for maintenance. Without a doubt, for me it is the best and I always recommend it. Thank you.

Hello. I am 56 years old and for a few years, I had some bags on my eyelids and also dark circles. Since I work with the public, and since I felt uncomfortable with my situation, I went to Dr. Villamarín. It was not my first consultation with other general plastic surgeons. However, I decided to go to him because he is a true specialist in plastic and eyelid aesthetic surgery. The surgery was without stitches and without scars, not only on the lower eyelids but also on the upper ones, which no one had offered me. Now I feel great, a few months have passed and my image is excellent and rejuvenated, not a trace of bags or dark circles. And no scars. I am very grateful to Dr. Villamarín. Thank you. (Translation from a testimony of a Spanish patient)

My case was not easy. I had eyelid surgery at another center with a general plastic surgeon, but I was not satisfied. After that, my lower eyelids were tight and drooping, and my eyes were very sunken. After more than a year, I felt sad and vulnerable, and when I looked in the mirror I didn't recognize myself. A friend who had undergone treatments with Dr. Villamarín recommended him directly to me. Her treatment is exceptional, her complete dedication, she gave me all the time in the world and she supported me psychologically by understanding my situation. She offered me solutions and I had surgery with him. Now I do recognize myself and I don't have sunken eyes like before, and my eyelids are in the right place. My image is excellent and I have recovered from that nightmare. My life now has colour and optimism. I do not have enough words to thank Dr. Villamarín and his team for his dedication, extraordinary treatment, innovation and surgical skill. Thank you very much.
