What is a Ponytail Facelift?

Women have known for years that pulling their hair back into a ponytail can have the effect of a temporary self-made facelift. The skin gets pulled tight across the forehead and cheeks and gives an appearance of youthfulness. But, of course, it’s temporary, and it only works in some cases. 

However, rather than going with a traditional facelift, plastic surgeons have created a new procedure with long-lasting results. The ponytail facelift. It is a facelift technique that reduces the signs of aging, leaves little-to-no visible scars because of the very small incisions, and is remarkably effective facelift surgery.

What is a Ponytail Lift?

A ponytail facelift essentially accomplishes what women have been accomplishing temporarily with their ponytails. Incisions are made high on the face, just in front of the ear and above the hairline. The board-certified plastic surgeons then pull the ligaments that lie underneath the skin to reduce sagging

The thing that makes a ponytail facelift different from a traditional facelift is that the incisions are not necessarily right next to the area that you’re trying to tighten. Hiding the incisions above the hairline makes them much more discrete and less likely to be seen by anyone, even if they’re looking for scars. Even pulling your hair back into an up-do or a ponytail will still conceal the incisions and scars from a ponytail facelift. 

What Makes a Ponytail Facelift Different?

For starters, there’s much less visible scarring, but even though we already mentioned that it’s important enough that we reiterate it. This is one of the most seamless plastic surgeries you can have.

Ponytail facelifts don’t leave you with a windswept look, or the permanent look of surprise. The skin is not pulled in a horizontal direction, so you don’t look like you’ve got the wind blowing straight in your face. And there are no screws for suspending the facial tissue and skin, so no look of constant surprise, either.
