For those with noticeably drooping cheeks, tired-looking under-eyes, and deeper facial folds, a ponytail lift can be a safe, effective, long-term solution for facial rejuvenation!
When performed by a highly skilled surgeon, such as those at Southlake Plastic Surgery, a ponytail lift can be a reliable, minimally invasive, low-risk procedure for mild-to-moderate aging concerns.
What is a “ponytail lift”?
A ponytail lift is a popular term that describes the combination of a brow lift and a facelift procedure. Essentially, it’s an add-on to a facelift, one that rejuvenates the brows and upper third of the face, mimicking the look of a tight, high ponytail.
How does it work?
It works by applying small, hidden incisions, often behind the ears or within the hairline, to lift the deeper facial tissues (SMAS layer).
The procedure itself takes between 2 and 3 hours, after which a patient typically takes about 1 week off from work. The results are noticeable within 1 to 2 weeks (longer if you are combining it with a blepharoplasty), or after any swelling or bruising subsides, with full results appearing after about 3 months.

Can I get the look of a ponytail lift without surgery?
While no treatment can fully replicate the effects of a surgical procedure, there are nonsurgical alternatives to a ponytail lift. Near Keller, TX, many of our patients start by exploring noninvasive options like:
Keep in mind, none of the procedures we’ve mentioned so far improve the quality of your skin. For example, if you purchase a brand new mattress but put the old, wrinkled bedspread on top of it, you cannot fully see or appreciate the new, firmer mattress beneath it. A facelift will firm and lift, but it does not help with the texture and tone of your skin.
So if you’re experiencing hyperpigmentation, rosacea, or texture/tone issues, you might want to explore:
- Moxi Laser
- Microneedling With SkinPen
- MicroLaserPeel
Depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and facial anatomy, these options can also help maintain the results of a ponytail lift long-term!
