Recovery and Results
Most patients are able to return to their normal activities within one week. Bruising and swelling are minimal and resolve quickly. Results are visible immediately and continue to improve over the following weeks, achieving a rejuvenated and natural appearance that can last for several years.

BabyLift® is a unique facial rejuvenation procedure designed by Dr. Villalobos Villar to provide a natural lifting effect in the middle and lower thirds of the face through a minimally invasive technique.
Using a specialized surgical instrument similar to a trocar, the procedure allows for SMAS plication without the need for extensive surgery or general anesthesia.
How Does BabyLift® Work?
The procedure targets the malar region, nasolabial folds, and jawline.
Through a small temporal–preauricular incision (3–5 cm), the surgeon introduces a trocar-type needle that guides a suture to tighten and reposition the SMAS layer, lifting sagging tissues. The suture is anchored to the temporoparietal fascia to ensure stability and long-lasting results.
