Ponytail Lift ™️ — the revolutionary alternative to the classic face lift

The Ponytail Lift ™️ is a facial rejuvenation and beautification technique developed and patented by Dr. Kao (Kao Plastic Surgery, Los Angeles). We learned this minimally invasive method — just like the Ponytail Facelift ™️ — directly from the inventor over several years. This makes us the only clinic in Europe, besides the Kao Institute in Los Angeles, exclusively authorized to offer both techniques in this form.

Hidden cuts in the scalp largely preserve the natural blood supply. This results in no visible incision in front of the ear and there is no dreaded “mask effect”. The result is radiant rejuvenation with softer contours and a natural, fresh look.

The benefits — natural, sustainable, minimally invasive

Shaping instead of toning — Ponytail Lift™ is primarily about sculpting your facial contours. We work precisely with the natural structures of skin and tissue:

Natural look

Instead of “pulling” the face horizontally, the tissue is lifted vertically — i.e. against gravity. This is how we preserve your authentic facial expression and prevent the typical “mask effect”. Where necessary, eyebrows can also be rotated and repositioned to achieve a harmonious overall aesthetic.

Sustained results

With classic face lift procedures, the blood supply to the skin can be impaired, which often leads to a faster loss of results. Our approach preserves the natural blood supply, which keeps skin and tissue healthier and results last longer. In addition, we use regenerative fat, which increases skin quality and improves volume.

Minimally invasive procedures — barely visible scars

Instead of eye-catching cuts along the hairline or in front of the ears, we place small, discreet cuts behind the ears and in the scalp of suitable candidates. In this way, visible scars are largely avoided.

3 types of Ponytail Lift™ — the ideal result for your face

Every face ages differently — and everyone wants a very personal aesthetic. In a detailed consultation, we will work together to find out which approach is best for you.

Type I: Ponytail Lift — youthful freshness for the upper face

The Type One Ponytail Lift™ is a minimally invasive option that primarily lifts and rejuvenates the upper half of the face (eyebrows, temples, cheekbones and nasolabial fold) — without the larger incisions of a classic face lift.

• Hidden cuts within the hairline
• Maintaining natural blood supply for long-lasting results
• Using your own fat to build up additional volume and promote skin regeneration

The procedure is ideal for younger patients or for those who just want to subtly correct the first signs of skin aging.

Type II: Ponytail Lift™ — Rejuvenating the entire face

The Type Two Ponytail Lift™ extends the range of applications to chin line, hamster cheeks and jowls.

• Treats cheeks, chin and neck areas for severe skin sagging
• Minimal, inconspicuous cuts in the scalp that support rapid healing
• Natural look and long-lasting freshness thanks to intact blood supply

This procedure is ideal for anyone who already has more obvious signs of skin aging and still wants a gentle method with shorter recovery time.

Type III: Ponytail Facelift™ — defined contours for the entire face and neck

The Type Three Ponytail Lift™, often referred to as Ponytail Facelift™, is the most comprehensive version of the ponytail technique and is suitable for patients with more advanced signs of aging in their face and neck.

• Includes the upper, middle and lower parts of the face as well as the neck
• Cuts remain hidden behind the ears and in the hairline
• Maintaining the natural blood supply and using autologous fat for particularly sustainable, natural results

Despite the larger scope of treatment, the Ponytail Facelift™ is a minimally invasive approach with a comparatively short healing phase. It significantly tightens facial contours while maintaining a natural appearance.
