Happily, the days of the over filled pillow face like Madonna’s are thankfully over !! Hence why I say to avoid med spa’s and dermatologists because it’s all they have to offer creating this distorted unattractive look. Yes we lose volume as we age but it one of four things that truly contributes to the change in one’s appearance with age.
There is also skin deterioration, decent of tissues globally in the face and scalp and the SMAS really creates the heavy jowl appearance.
The Deep plane face and neck lift along with a pony tail lift and tremendous weightloss from ozempic, really is likely
Why she has such a tremendous new appearance along with a filter for Kris Jenner.
A “ponytail facelift” or “ponytail lift” is a type of facelift surgery that focuses on lifting the midface and upper face, often with minimal scarring and shorter recovery times compared to a traditional facelift. It’s designed to mimic the effect of pulling hair into a tight ponytail, creating a more youthful appearance. The procedure can involve smaller incisions, such as those hidden behind the ear or within the scalp.
Key aspects of a ponytail lift:
Target Area:
Primarily focuses on the midface and upper face, lifting the cheeks, forehead, and brows.
Scarring:
Typically involves smaller incisions, minimizing visible scars, especially in the front of the ears.
Recovery:
Generally has a shorter recovery time compared to a traditional facelift.
Alternative for Younger Patients:
Often considered a good option for patients in their 40s and 50s who have early signs of sagging skin.
Not a “Full Facelift”:
Unlike a traditional facelift, it may not fully address the lower face, jawline, and neck.
How it works:
Incisions are made behind the ear or within the scalp to access the underlying tissues.
The skin and underlying tissues are lifted and repositioned to create a more youthful appearance.
Ligaments may be cut to allow for repositioning.
Incisions are closed, and stitches are removed.
Important Considerations:
Marketing Term: “Ponytail lift” can be a marketing term used by different surgeons, with the specific technique varying.
Not a Standard Procedure: There isn’t a single, standardized way to perform a ponytail lift.
Consultation is Key: It’s essential to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss your specific needs and whether a ponytail lift is the right choice for you.
As if the jowls and neck are significantly aged in appearance the deep plane face and neck lift will need to be combined with this pony tail lift. Also the repositioning of the SMAS midrange restores volume for most without fat transfer or fillers u less severely gaunt in facial features. Vs
A deep plane facelift is a surgical procedure that lifts and reshapes the facial tissues, primarily the SMAS layer (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System), for a more dramatic and long-lasting rejuvenation. It goes deeper than a traditional SMAS facelift, working below the SMAS to reposition facial muscles and tissues for a more natural and youthful appearance. This technique can address sagging in the midface and neck, redefine the jawline, and create a more contoured and defined facial structure.
Key aspects of a deep plane facelift:
Deeper Dissection:
The procedure involves dissecting below the SMAS layer, allowing for more extensive lifting and repositioning of facial tissues.
Ligament Release:
Deep plane facelifts often involve releasing key ligaments that attach the SMAS to deeper structures, allowing for greater movement and repositioning of the tissues.
Tension-Free Closure:
By releasing ligaments and working below the SMAS, deep plane facelifts can achieve a more natural and less strained appearance, with less tension on the skin itself.
Long-Lasting Results:
Due to the deeper dissection and tissue manipulation, deep plane facelifts are known for providing more long-lasting results than traditional SMAS facelifts.
Midface and Neck Lift:
Deep plane facelifts can address sagging in the midface, including the cheeks, and the neck, creating a more sculpted and youthful profile.
Natural Look:
The deep plane technique can help to achieve a more natural and less stretched appearance, minimizing the risk of a “strained” look.
Benefits:
Redefines the jawline, contours the cheeks, lifts the midface and neck, and can improve the appearance of jowls and sagging skin.
Recovery:
Deep plane facelifts typically have a longer recovery time than other facelift procedures due to the more extensive dissection and tissue manipulation
