A scarless facelift refers to the absence of visible scars. In endoscopic techniques, incisions are hidden within the hairline, instead of infront of the ears, making them discreet and difficult to detect.
The ponytail facelift is a non-medical term often used to describe various subtle lifting procedures. In most cases, this is achieved through an endoscopic facelift, which repositions deeper tissues (deep plane) using key whole incision without visible facelift incisions. The vector of pull is more vertical compared to other facelift techniques, therefore mimicking the effects of a tight ponytail.
Dr Janssen’s Endoscopic Facelift carefully dissects the retaining ligaments in the deep plane to improve durability of results therefore typically lasting 10 to 15 years, depending on individual factors such as genetics and ageing. The longevity is influenced by multiple factors including lifestyle. Maintenance tips will be part of the the facelift journey.
Most patients are socially presentable within 1 to 2 weeks, with continued improvement over several weeks. It usually takes 4-6 weeks for the majority of the swelling to be gone and top to 3 months for the final results to reveal.
