What is
VIEW Ponytail Lift?

Ponytail Lift is a surgical procedure
that combines temple lifting and
midface lifting to address sagging around
the eyes, temples, and midface.

Through approximately 3cm hidden incisions
along the hairline,
sagging tissues are lifted and repositioned
to create a naturally elevated, refreshed
appearance inspired by
the effect of tying your hair up into a ponytail.

Ponytail Lift
Procedure

VIEW Ponytail Lift is customized
to each patient’s facial structure and degree
of sagging.
The procedure loosens the
deeper tissues to allow them to move
more freely, then lifts
and secures them
in the desired direction.

How the
Ponytail Lift Works?

Ponytail Lift works by targeting deeper tissues
to lift and reposition more than just the skin.

Skin-Only Lifting vs. Deep Plane SMAS Lift

Skin-only lifting mainly focuses on tightening the surface tissues.
But VIEW’s Ponytail Lift releases the supporting ligaments and lifts
the deeper SMAS layer
and facial tissues together using
a Deep Plane SMAS technique.

Cross-section of skin-only lifting: skin is tightened while the SMAS and deeper tissues stay in place Cross-section of skin-only lifting: skin is tightened while the SMAS and deeper tissues stay in place

Skin-only lifting

Skin-only lifting focuses on tightening
the skin to lift sagging areas. Because the deeper
tissues are not repositioned, the results may be
less long-lasting, with sagging in the SMAS and
deeper tissues remaining.

  • Skin
  • Subcutaneous Fat
  • SMAS Layer
  • Deep Plane
  • Muscle Layer
  • Bone
Cross-section of VIEW's Deep Plane SMAS lift, lifting the SMAS and deeper tissues together Cross-section of VIEW's Deep Plane SMAS lift, lifting the SMAS and deeper tissues together

VIEW’s Deep Plane SMAS Lift

By releasing the deeper layer beneath the SMAS,
the tissues can move more freely and be lifted
together with the SMAS. This helps address sagging
from the skin to the deeper tissues for a more
comprehensive and lasting lifting effect.

Supporting Materials Used in Ponytail Lift

VIEW's Ponytail Lift approach is personalized to
each patient's
facial anatomy, tissue condition and treatment goals.

    in the desired position, distributing tension across
    a wider area for stable support.

Key Point

The Importance of Retaining Ligament Release
in a Ponytail Lift

Ponytail Lift releases the necessary retaining ligaments,
allowing the SMAS and deeper tissues to
move more
freely and be repositioned in the desired direction.

  • Illustration of the SMAS and deeper tissues anchored by intact retaining ligaments, limiting repositioning

    Without Retaining Ligament Release

    Without releasing the retaining ligaments,
    the SMAS and deeper tissues remain
    anchored, limiting how much
    the tissues can be repositioned.

  • Illustration of released retaining ligaments letting the SMAS and deeper tissues move freely upward

    When the Retaining Ligaments Are Released

    Releasing the necessary retaining
    ligaments
    allows the tissues to move
    more freely,
    enabling the SMAS and
    deeper
    tissues to be repositioned in
    the desired direction.

Q. Why Is an
Endoscope Used in
a Ponytail Lift?

Ponytail Lift uses an endoscope to precisely visualize key
anatomical structures through small incisions.

An endoscope provides a magnified view of
key anatomical structures, including blood vessels
and
facial nerves, allowing the necessary retaining ligaments
to be precisely released.

  • Visualization and Preservation of Major Blood Vessels Blood vessels around the temples and cheekbones are identified
    and
    preserved as much as possible during tissue release
    .
  • Visualization of Facial Nerves and Key Structures Facial nerves and surrounding anatomical structures are
    viewed
    under magnification for precise tissue release
    .
  • Precise Release of the Necessary Retaining Ligaments The necessary retaining ligaments are sufficiently released
    while
    carefully considering surrounding anatomical structures.
  • A Wide Surgical View Through Small Incisions An approximately 3 cm incision in the temporal scalp provides
    an
    enlarged view of the underlying structures.

VIEW Anti-Aging FAQ

Ponytail Lift in Korea is a surgical lifting procedure that accesses the tissues through incisions hidden within the hairline around the
temples and temporal area. It lifts and securely repositions sagging tissues around the eyes and midface in an upward direction.

A Ponytail Lift primarily addresses sagging that extends from the outer eye area and temple to the midface, including
the cheekbones and cheeks.

A Ponytail Lift in Korea works through the hairline at the temples, targeting the eye area and midface, while a Mini Lift works through
incisions near the ears, targeting the cheeks, lower face, and jawline.

A thread lifting is a non-surgical procedure that uses medical threads to pull up sagging tissue, while a Ponytail Lift is a surgical
procedure that directly dissects, repositions, and secures sagging tissue, offering more definitive lifting results and longer-lasting effects.

The Ponytail Lift name comes from the lifting effect it creates, which resembles the way the tissues around the eyes, temples,
And midface are pulled upward and outward, similar to the effect of pulling your hair up into a high ponytail.

* Results of surgery may vary depending on the individual,
and there may be side effects such as haemorrhaging,
inflammation, etc.
