How Tight Should I Wear my Ponytail Once Receiving Botox in the Forehead? I Wear a Ponytail Daily.

Botox should not affect how you wear your pony tail. It might give you more confidence to wear a pony tail to show off your smooth forehead. Beware however, that persistent wearing of tight pony tails could in the long run cause loss of hair in the frontal and side fringes. A condition called traction alopecia. This would have no connection to your use of botox.

You needn't be concerned about the tightness of the forehead from wearing a pony tail or the direction of the pulling after Botox treatment  in the forehead. The doctor will inject the botox to the correct muscle areas and the botox will bind to the correct sites no matter how you wear your hairstyle.

It is interesting that I have a 24 year old patient who has been daily wearing a pony tail since she was a child.  The interesting thing is that when she does not wear the ponytail she looks very different than when she does wear it.  It appears that over time she has stretched the soft tissues of the upper face and the ponytail essentially pulls these tissues back like some kind of forehead lift.

How you wear your hair after Botox will make no difference in your results.

 

Good Luck.

How you choose to wear your hair has no effect on the (frontalis) muscles in your forehead. Nor does it have any effect on the results of a botulinum toxin treatment. The amount of relaxation you experience following treatment with a botulinum toxin is directly related to the number of units you receive and where those units are placed across the forehead. So go ahead and wear your hair however you would like.
