The Percutaneous Facelift: Achieve the Youthful Look You Want with No Visible Scars

At Los Angeles Plastic Surgery, serving patients in Beverly Hills and Athens, Greece, we specialize in advanced facial rejuvenation techniques that deliver beautiful, natural results with minimal downtime. One of the most innovative procedures offered by Dr. John Anastasatos is the Percutaneous Facelift—a groundbreaking method designed to refresh your appearance without visible scars.

What Makes the Percutaneous Facelift Unique?

This technique offers a more refined alternative to traditional facelift surgery. Instead of long incisions around the ears, the percutaneous facelift uses a single, hidden incision to elevate the deeper facial structures without undermining the skin.

The percutaneous facelift is known for:

• No visible scars
• A safer approach without skin undermining
• Faster recovery time
• Natural, youthful results

Unlike traditional facelifts, this technique eliminates the need for long scars in front of or behind the ears, making it ideal for patients who want subtle rejuvenation without noticeable surgical signs.

How the Procedure Works

This facelift technique is performed through a small, 1.5-inch incision located in the temporal area, concealed within the hairline. Once this incision is made, the rest of the procedure is done percutaneously, meaning the tissues underneath are lifted and repositioned through tiny entry points rather than large open incisions.

Through this hidden incision, Dr. Anastasatos is able to:

• Lift and suspend the midface
• Improve the jawline
• Restore cheek fullness
• Address jowls and deep folds

This approach allows for a comprehensive midface and lower face rejuvenation while keeping the outer skin intact.

Targeting the Malar Fat Pad for an Authentic Lift

The Malar Fat Pad plays a central role in how youthful and lifted the face appears. As it drops with age, the midface loses volume, nasolabial folds deepen, the mouth corners droop, and jowls form. Repositioning this structure is crucial for meaningful rejuvenation.

The percutaneous facelift focuses on:

• Elevating the Malar Fat Pad
• Restoring cheek projection
• Softening nasolabial folds
• Reducing jowls
• Improving facial harmony

By lifting this foundational structure back to its youthful position, the face appears naturally refreshed rather than artificially tightened.

Benefits of the Percutaneous Facelift

This procedure offers several advantages that distinguish it from traditional facelifts. Patients choose the percutaneous facelift because it provides substantial improvement with far fewer downsides.

Key benefits include:

• A hidden incision placed entirely in the hairline
• No skin undermining, reducing risk and swelling
• Faster, more comfortable recovery
• A natural, non-tightened appearance
• Improved cheek contour and jawline definition

These benefits make the percutaneous facelift especially appealing to individuals who want significant results without the traditional facelift aesthetic.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Many patients considering early or moderate facial aging changes are excellent candidates for this technique. It’s ideal for those who want a refreshed look without the commitment of full open facelift surgery.

Candidates often present with:

• Drooping cheeks
• Early jowl formation
• Loss of midface volume
• Deepened nasolabial folds
• Slightly downturned mouth corners

A personalized evaluation with Dr. Anastasatos helps determine whether this innovative technique will achieve your goals.
