I like to gather the hair up around the area near my ears and tie it up on top of my head with a small hair tie (I pull it really tight) because it lifts the skin in that area, elevating the outside corner of my eyes/eyebrows (they're a bit "sad" looking). I think it looks fantastic. Would I be laughed out of a surgeon's office if I showed them what I do and asked them to lift that same area with surgery? Would it even look the same? This is an awfully embarrassing thing to admit.

Answer: Do it yourself facelift
Don't be embarrassed at all. What you are describing is very common. Many of my patients will simulate what type of result they are looking for by pulling the hair or facial skin up and back. They often do this in the mirror to imagine how they would like to change there face. Keep in mind however that not all of the areas you can pull with your hair or fingers can realistically be pulled with surgery. See a facelift surgeon in our area and don't be embarrassed to show them how you would like to look and find out from them what procedures might be helpful.

Answer: Hairline raised to alter facial shape.
Hairline raised to alter facial shape is one way to show what you want. I would need to see you to determine if this can be done, which it probably can. Some combination of forehead and or facelift should do this.
