Introduction
Continuing his commitment to innovation and surgical excellence, DR. FRANK AGULLO, also known as DR. WORLDWIDE, attended the PONYTAIL ACADEMY WITH DR. CHIA CHI KAO in PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA. This advanced hands-on training focused on the PONYTAIL FACELIFT®, an endoscopic facial rejuvenation technique recognized for its natural results and hidden incisions.
By learning directly from DR. KAO, the creator of the Ponytail Facelift®, Dr. Agullo further refined his expertise in achieving youthful, refreshed facial contours with minimal downtime. Building on this experience, he now performs his own TOTAL ENDOSCOPIC MINIMALLY INVASIVE FACELIFT, designed to rejuvenate the face through discreet incisions and advanced tissue repositioning techniques.
Understanding The Endoscopic Facelift
The ENDOSCOPIC FACELIFT is a minimally invasive procedure that repositions and lifts the underlying tissues of the face using small, hidden incisions placed behind the hairline. Through the use of an endoscope, this technique allows for precise visualization and gentle elevation of the deep facial layers without creating visible scars.
Dr. Agullo’s Total Endoscopic Facelift builds upon this foundation, focusing on natural results, minimal downtime, and patient comfort.
Patient Benefits Include:
- Hidden incisions entirely within the hair-bearing scalp
- Minimal scarring and faster recovery than traditional facelifts
- Natural and youthful elevation of the brow, midface, and jawline
- Long-lasting improvement through deep-tissue repositioning rather than surface tightening
Advanced Training At The Ponytail Academy
The PONYTAIL ACADEMY, founded by DR. CHIA CHI KAO, offers an exclusive opportunity for plastic surgeons to master the technical nuances of endoscopic facial rejuvenation. The PITTSBURGH SESSION brought together a select group of experienced surgeons from around the world, each committed to advancing their understanding of anatomy-driven, minimally invasive facelift techniques.
During this immersive course, DR. AGULLO participated in:
- CADAVERIC DISSECTION LABS to explore the anatomy of the temporal and midface regions
- SURGICAL DEMONSTRATIONS showcasing advanced endoscopic methods for tissue access and elevation
- INTERACTIVE SESSIONS on patient selection, complication avoidance, and postoperative management
This experience provided Dr. Agullo with valuable insights from Dr. Kao, which he now integrates into his own advanced surgical techniques at SOUTHWEST PLASTIC SURGERY IN EL PASO, TEXAS.
Bringing Advanced Facelift Techniques To El Paso
After completing this specialized training, DR. AGULLO continues to lead the field in NATURAL, MINIMALLY INVASIVE FACIAL REJUVENATION. His TOTAL ENDOSCOPIC FACELIFT combines precision and artistry to achieve beautiful, subtle results without visible scars or the need for extensive recovery.
