# Endoscopic Ponytail Facelift

A ponytail facelift is a surgical procedure that uses endoscopic visualisation through small hairline incisions to address selected upper-face, temple, brow and early midface concerns. The work performed is structural: selected retaining ligaments are released and the deeper soft tissue is repositioned and secured with internal fixation. A ponytail facelift is not a thread lift and not a skin-tightening procedure, and it does not directly address jowls, jawline changes or the neck. The name refers to the visual change some people notice when the hair is pulled back firmly into a high ponytail.
