Facelift 101: Ponytail Lift vs. Deep Plane Facelift vs Mini Lift 

every time he says his name followed by "I'm a board certified beverly hills plastic surgeon" he looks like he's saying a tongue twister and it's so funny to me

Great video, thank you! This cleared up what will and won’t work for my issues- I always thought a face lift included the whole face and left a super stretched out look. But I understand it better now. Thank you!

Great video! I'm 39yo, and starting to notice aging in my face. Currently I am shopping around for a face lift, but with some many different types of face lifts out there, it's extremely confusing for someone who is not a doctor to decide which face lift is right for them. This video cleared a lot of things up for me. THANK U!!!

I had a Deep plane face lift, Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty and CO2 peel 9 months ago. It was done by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in a big city. I am completely disappointed!! First my right side and left side are not the same. Left side is slightly better but there are still yawls and nasolabial folds present on both sides. Also my upper eyelid especially on the right side has an overhang and under the right eye it is still visibly puffy. Surgeon was going to perform a correction surgery after 8 months which a cancelled because I felt it was too soon after original surgery. Also, I have to pay again!! And I have to go under general anaesthetic again. I also did not say anything to anyone about this surgery and not a single person noticed I had anything done.

Great video and very informative! I loved how the Dr. touched on marketing terms. My undergrad is in Communications because I thought I wanted to be a Public Information Officer and that was my pet peeves, all the terms. I digress, now I’m k ow that in my 50s I will get a full face lift, God willing. No one tells you about the 3 differentiated parts of a facelift. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Very well explained. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

You are really amazing Doc… Respect for you

If someone wears a tight ponytail for so many years will they not be at a higher risk of traction alopecia?

i love your videos! always so informative ☺️ wish you would also operate here in switzerland

Great video as usual, thank you for all the clear definitions/explanations of the various procedures. 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Well done. Ty for truth and not lying.

Super helpful. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the information. I went to few plastic surgeons and some of them told me I’m too young for a face lift, and some of them suggested facelift. I’m 37 years old.

Excellent information!

Thank you for this!

Super helpful video! Thanks for explaining, doc....but where is your Social Media Director? I want to hear his sassy questions.

Sonja Morgan was done right! She looks as Dr. M always says....looks rested.

Very very informative. Dr. Gary do you operate at a major medical center? And when do you tell a patient that they are not a candidate for surgery?

I'm going for a neck and face lift this year. I'm concerned that my doc does the incision pre-tragus and doesn't do the neck incision under the chin. Should I look for a different surgeon?

Excellent presentation. I'm 66 and will be looking for a full facelift.

Your work is beautiful. Can you recommend a surgeon in the Chicago area? 🙂

Thank you!

Do you do all your procedures with local or general anesthesia? Would like if you explain what is best approach by procedure. I was surprised a facelift could be done without general anesthesia!

Great breakdown - well explained. What is a “vertical lift”. ? I’ve been seeing that term lately. Is that another name for the ponytail lift?

I’d like to learn more about what clients do under the neck. Do you have a lot of surgeries that address tightening or removal of fat there, or is that typically coupled with other surgeries (ie face lift)

Thanks for the video. Would be nice to do one about men face lift procedures, scares... 👍😉

Dr Motykie: Do you have a ‘Deep Plane vs SMAS’ video?

What's the difference between these three and a vertical facelift

Hi Dr. can you do a video on how to get rid of fat circles under eye 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 thank you

How about the MACS lift? Can you do a video on that?

How long does a ponytail lift last? It it also pulling up the skin only, like the mini facelift?

I met a dentist once who at my very first appointment instead of discussing my teeth offered me a treatment plan of thread lifts and Morpheus. I was like… y know I’m here to get my teeth cleaned right? But I will definitely look into this and consult a cosmetic surgeon if needed.

I’d like to hear about the costs of these options?

Dr. M is so handsome!

What is the cheek lift

I have a question what procedure causes the eyes to look like the person is permanently startled?

How long last an ponytail lift??

Do you also do those things to get rid of belly fat and then tighten it up so it doesn't sag and how much is it. I'm poor

Has anyone heard of the vertical restore what’s that then?

Can you talk about Martha Stewart? She recently turned 80 and looks absolutely fabulous. Clearly she must have had some things done, but it's all subtle and very well done. Her and Christie Brinkley must share the same doctors, ha!

Is deep plan surgery painful? Because I'm going to do cat eye lifting surgery

What about deep plane for a younger person?

Deep plane high SMAS!

This video helped me realize I will never do a facelift in the US and will most likely stick to SK. So many better techniques here.

always interesting. ah,for surplus money-oh well. got this far.....

Does a ponytail facelift make your hairline higher and wider? Because Ariana grandes hairline has gotten higher

Okay so please address what Nancy Pelosi did to her face..!!!! lol 😱

Ariana Grande needs a facelift !!!!

I need to improve my English because I don't understand him

Fake faces 😅
