I Tie my Hair Up to Give Myself a Psedo Face Lift. Would an Actual Lift Give the Same Look?

Asked By:teal1234 in Scottsdale, AZ

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.
