Exchanging ideas with recognized surgeons around the country and world is one of the most rewarding parts of my profession and sharing that experience with my twin sister made it even more fun and meaningful.
I recently returned from my second Ponytail Academy course alongside Dr. Amy Kulak | Kulak Eye & Cosmetic Surgery, oculoplastic surgeon in Florida. We had the privilege of learning directly from Dr. Kao and refining the advanced endoscopic techniques behind his Ponytail Lift.
After 15 years of performing endoscopic surgery, it was exciting to build on that experience with techniques that expand the possibilities for facial rejuvenation. Concealing incisions within the hairline offers an appealing approach for patients seeking natural results with minimal visible scarring.
Dr. Kao has developed a thoughtful, systematic approach to a complex procedure, and I’m grateful for his continued mentorship and generosity in sharing his expertise.
We left inspired and excited to bring these refinements and new techniques to our patients. ✨
