Introduction to the endoscopic facelift
The surgical facelift is considered the gold standard of facial rejuvenation – and thanks to modern techniques, the range of options has expanded significantly.
Among the most innovative procedures is the endoscopic facelift, also known as the scarless facelift or ponytail facelift. It enables natural, elegant results – with hidden incisions and a shortened recovery time.
What is an endoscopic facelift?
In contrast to classic facelifts with long incisions around the ears and hairline, the endoscopic facelift uses small, completely hidden incisions within the hairline.
Through these access points, the deep facial structures (SMAS) are gently exposed, lifted, and repositioned.
Because this lifts the deep anatomical layers (“deep plane”) and not just the skin, it creates a natural, rejuvenated appearance without a “pulled” or artificial look.
Our philosophy:
- Restoration instead of alteration
- Repositioning of structures instead of pulling on the skin
Why is this technique gaining in popularity?
The endoscopic facelift is particularly popular among people who:
- desire a fresh, youthful appearance
- do not want visible facial scars
- prefer natural, discreet rejuvenation
In the media, there is frequent speculation about celebrities (Anne Hathaway, Christina Aguilera, Emma Stone, Lindsay Lohan) whose subtle rejuvenation precisely reflects the principle of the endoscopic facelift:
- Refinement instead of change
- Youthfulness without visible surgery
The S-Ponytail Facelift by Dr. Tim J. Janssen
Dr. Janssen has further developed the technique and established the S-Ponytail Facelift – inspired by the natural lifting effect of a tightly tied ponytail.
In this procedure:
- Eyebrows
- Midface
- Cheeks
- and the area down to the corners of the mouth dissected deeply and structurally repositioned.
Advantages of the S-Ponytail Facelift
- Scar-free surgery: Incisions completely within the hairline
- Structural rejuvenation: Deep tissue layers as in the deep plane facelift, but without skin removal
- Natural result: Individual, elegant, unoperated appearance
- Performed exclusively in Zurich and London
