It is quite common for female patients consulting for a brow lift operation to desire the effects of a ponytail. In fact, they often specifically ask their surgeons for a ponytail effect. The vectors used to lift the eyebrow in an endoscopic brow lift operation are similar to the lifting effect of a ponytail. However, the amount of lift can vary from patient to patient, depending on skin laxity, degree of brow descent, and facial skeletal support. Therefore, a ponytail effect is possible in younger patients with average forehead heights. Although older females with significant skin laxity will not achieve such a drastic effect, the brow will acquire a more natural, elegant contour.
