We’re always so excited when a patient allows us to share their rhinoplasty cast removal! 💙

Watch through to the end for his two-month result, when the swelling has settled and the refinements start to show.

A few things worth knowing about rhinoplasty recovery:

Day 6: Cast comes off. Bruising and swelling are still present. The nose looks wider and less defined than the final result.

Week 2-3: Most patients feel comfortable being seen publicly. Bruising fades.

Month 2-3: Swelling continues to resolve. The shape starts to emerge.

Month 6-12: Final refinements, especially at the tip.
Patience is part of the process. And the result is worth the wait.

Jane Fonda is 88 years old and looks phenomenal! So let’s talk about what a facial plastic surgeon actually sees when she looks at her face.

First, the foundation: Jane has exceptional bone structure. Strong cheekbones and a well-projected chin mean her surgical results hold up beautifully over time. Patients with naturally strong skeletal structure tend to age more gracefully and get more longevity from facial procedures. It’s one of the biggest factors most people don’t think about.

What I suspect she’s had done over the years: at least three facelifts, laser resurfacing or chemical peels to maintain skin quality and even pigmentation, and fat transfer or volume restoration to maintain fullness in the midface and lower face. Skin surgery alone can’t control texture and tone, you need resurfacing for that. And volume loss is one of the biggest drivers of facial aging, so maintaining it is key.

But here’s the honest part: even with the best care, biology catches up. You can see thinning, crepey skin around her laugh lines and forehead. Her eye sockets have deepened as bone resorbs with age, as the orbital cavity gets larger while there’s less fat to fill it. And her nasal skin has thinned enough that you can see the contour of the underlying cartilage, which is called lobulation.

None of this takes away from how incredible she looks. It just shows that aging is a process, not something surgery stops entirely. The goal is always to age well, and Jane Fonda is a masterclass in that.

What celebrity face should I break down next? Comment below.

Marking for a male facelift!

A deep plane facelift/necklift is the same in men and women. It’s just the markings and incision placement is different and the placement of face grafts is different. This is because the male face ages differently than a female face.

This video shows you how we mark out a male aging face and what we do differently for a male than a female.

This is one of the most common things I hear from patients considering blepharoplasty: “My eyes always look tired, no matter how much sleep I get.”

But here’s what many people don’t realize. Sometimes it’s not just cosmetic. Excess upper eyelid skin can actually weigh down on your lids, affect your field of vision, and make your eyes feel physically fatigued.

That’s exactly what this patient was experiencing.

We performed an upper blepharoplasty to remove the excess skin, along with a partial brow lift to restore a natural, refreshed position to the brow. The result was better vision, lighter lids, and a look that finally matches how she actually feels.

Swipe to see real before and after results from similar blepharoplasty procedures ➡️

One of the things I take the most pride in is what happens after surgery. Your results don’t end in the operating room. The follow-up care, the healing process, the adjustments along the way…that’s where the real relationship is built. 💙

If your upper eyelids feel heavy or your eyes always look tired no matter what you do, it may be worth exploring whether blepharoplasty could help. Sometimes it’s not about looking different, it’s about looking like yourself again.

The Ponytail Lift: what is it, and why is everyone talking about it?

With award season here, terms like “Ponytail Lift” are everywhere. Stars like Emma Stone, Lindsay Lohan, and Anne Hathaway look incredible, and patients are asking whether this procedure is the secret.

Here’s what you should know.

The Ponytail Lift, popularized by Dr. Kao, is a facelift approach that focuses on rejuvenating the upper face through carefully hidden access points. The name comes from the idea that you could wear your hair up without visible scars, which is what most patients want.

How it works depends on your age and anatomy. For younger patients in their 20s and 30s, the technique uses endoscopic access points to lift and rejuvenate the upper third of the face (brow, temples, and midface) with virtually no visible scarring.

For patients with more advanced aging and excess skin, the approach expands to include more conventional incision sites behind the ears and under the chin, but still prioritizes scar concealment.

A few things worth understanding:
The endoscopic techniques behind the Ponytail Lift aren’t brand new. Endoscopic brow lifts and deep plane facelifts have been part of facial plastic surgery for years. What Dr. Kao has done well is package and refine these techniques with a focus on minimal visible scarring, and that resonates with patients.

These procedures can be extensive. Some cases take up to 10 hours depending on how much correction is needed. That’s a significant surgery, not a lunchtime procedure.

The biggest takeaway: there’s no single lift that’s right for everyone. The best approach depends on your anatomy, your goals, and how your face has aged. What works for a 28-year-old is very different from what works for a 55-year-old, and that’s exactly what a personalized consultation is for.

If you’re curious about what facial rejuvenation could look like for you, we’re always happy to talk through your options honestly.

Yes, even your facial plastic surgeon gets Botox! Well, Dysport today. Here’s why.

I clench my jaw at night, which causes pain in my jaw and head. So today our aesthetic nurse Mary is injecting my masseters; that’s masseteric Botox for TMJ. I still wear a bite guard to protect my teeth, but this helps lessen the discomfort significantly. I get it every six months so the muscle doesn’t weaken too much.

Then comes the beautification part. See that line that pulls my brows down and makes me look more aged? We’re fixing that.

And here’s why I chose Dysport today: I’m heading to a conference in a few days and need it to kick in fast. Dysport has a faster onset than other neuromodulators, so I use that to my advantage when timing matters. For patients who split time between cities, I might recommend Daxxify instead. It lasts longer, so they only need two visits a year instead of three or four.

Choosing the right neuromodulator isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s about your lifestyle, your goals, and what makes the most sense for you.

Your 40s are when your skin starts asking for more. Olivia Marino, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, CANS, nurse practitioner at Ponsky Facial Plastic Surgery, is answering the questions we hear most often in consultations:

→ Losing lip volume? Lip filler done conservatively can restore natural fullness.

→ Rough skin texture and enlarged pores? Retinoids and chemical peels make a significant difference.

→ Crow’s feet and forehead lines etching in? Botox addresses dynamic lines, maintained every 3 months for best results.

→ Nasolabial folds deepening? Filler in this area, used carefully, can soften without overfilling.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. The right combination depends on your skin, your goals, and what you’re comfortable with.
