What is a ponytail facelift? How does it differ to other types of facelift?

In a way a ponytail facelift is a unique type of facelift and it differs to almost all other types of faces in that there are no visible scars in the skin. And by that I mean there are scars but the scars are hidden within the hair. And by doing that, it avoid scars in the skin completely. And although other types of facelift scars can be hidden discreetly around the air and behind the ear with ponytail festive they are truly hidden.
The other advantage of ponytail facelift is the recovery because the surgery is hidden within the soft tissues of the face, the recovery tends to be faster.

A ponytail facelift is unique it is quite different to other types of facelift including: mini facelift, a SMAS facelift or a deep plane facelift and I will go into further detail why.

My own personal tips.

Why have a ponytail facelift? Well, it really is if you have early signs of ageing. And so there might be mild drooping of the face and volume drop from the cheeks from gravity, there might be minimal loose skin. And the classic signs is if you have if you put your hair up in a ponytail, or if you lift your face upwards from the cheek and temple area, this improves the V shaped appearance of your face, when it might be that the ponytail facelift will benefit you.

It tends to be patients who are in their late 20s or 30s. With increasing age there tends to be more loose skin, which makes it more difficult to complete this procedure and have good result.

Why have a ponytail facelift?
In late 20s, early 30s of age, mild ageing, mild changes in gravity, mild loose skin and mild volume loss these are going to be the criteria that can determine whether you have a good result. And they're going to depend partly on your age, partly on genetics, such as hypermobility could affect this. And of course your lifestyle. If you do a lot of exercise and you burn off a lot of your natural fat then you can tend to eat a little faster.
