What Is
The Ponytail Lift™ Technique?

The Ponytail Lift™ technique is a minimally invasive procedure performed endoscopically through four small incisions hidden within the hairline. This approach lifts the cheeks, brow, and jawline for a natural, youthful look without visible scars. By using specialized techniques, including fat injections and non-excisional lifts, the procedure rejuvenates the face with minimal downtime. Ideal for patients seeking subtle enhancements, it combines efficiency with the precision needed to create soft, refined contours.
