She is 60 and now has a new lease on life. You can really appreciate the degree of difficulty in the transformation of this patient in the video. In the upper face: the brows were artificially tattooed high and the nasal radix was excessively wide giving her a "lioness" appearance. In the mid face: the cheeks were drooping low and there were lots of fillers in place so made the cheek more stiff and harder to lift. Her upper lip was excessively long and we needed an aggressive lip shortening but that can create a "mousy" appearance. So I used an "internal corner lift" technique to lift the corners without cutting the white roll of the lip. In the lower face and neck: the wrinkles and laxity if the skin extended all the way down to the clavicles. The quality of the skin was thin and friable. We had to work extra hard to extend the dissection all the way down and all the way back so the wrinkly skin in the décolleté is also tightened. The subcutaneous fat of the neck and submental areas was preserved to support the thin skin and maintain a soft supple neck. This was a global facial rejuvenation from the top of the head to the bottom of the neck. We left no stones unturned. Upper Lip Lift w/ Internal Corner lift: The upper lip gets longer as we age due to recession of the maxillary bone. This is why I often perform an Upper LiP Lift with a Ponytail Lift™ or Ponytail Facelift™ A precise incision placement and an excellent Scar quality is paramount. My lip lift takes longer than most (3 hrs.) The excess skin under the nasal sill is first removed. Then the skin is lifted to access the entire muscle of the upper lip. The Internal Corner Lift is performed to elevate the corners of the lip lift without cutting the skin, so to avoid a "mousy" looking upper lip. Then the suturing process is like embroidery, performed in 5 layers with extensive lifting of the orbicularis oris muscle. Finally, exquisite attention is payed to perfect hemostasis, so to limit the swelling time of the lip to be "restaurant ready" at 3 weeks. KaOgee Jowl Lift & Massai Neck Lift. The hallmark of youth is a clean jawline and a neck that is long skinny and tight. We worked really hard to get exactly that in this 60 year old woman. She is very happy with her transformation. Ponytail Breakdown: There are 4 muscles that bring the Brows down and only 1 that lifts the brows up. As you age the action of those 4 muscles, soft tissue loss, and gravity, all cause the brows to droop down, the eyelids to be hooded and the bridge of the nose (the radix) to grow wider In this patient, the widening of the radix is SEVERE, giving her a feline (a lioness) appearance. This was the most challenging aspect of her rejuvenation. We were able to address all of these details with the Ponytail Facelift and a very conservative upper and lower skin only blepharoplasty. She looks feminine, soft, rejuvenated, without being overdone. -- Tell me your thoughts!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 IF you LOVE it please LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE, and FOLLOW!❤️ Dr. Chia Chi Kao is a board-certified aesthetic plastic and reconstructive surgeon with over 20 years of experience whom Vogue claims “is single-handedly revolutionizing the future of facelifts.” Dr. Kao is the founder of the KAO Institute in Santa Monica, California, and is the creator of the new and revolutionary Ponytail Lift™ and Ponytail Facelift™ procedures.
