Overview

A facelift generally elevates the skin and tightens the underlying tissues and muscles. Suppose you look in the mirror, and the face staring back at you is not what you remember (or wish for). In that case, you may have considered all the options available to regain your youthful appearance. Perhaps you have tried creams, facials, and beauty treatments without seeing desired results. And you are wondering what the next steps may be! Depending on your aesthetic desires, a facelift may help you realize your goals.

If you're looking for a cost-effective but effective endoscopic facelift, Istanbul Med Assist can find the best solution that meets your needs.

Is endoscopy in plastic surgery?

Endoscopic surgery, or endoscopy, is one of the newest plastic surgery techniques. It allows surgeons to operate with fewer visible incisions, reducing noticeable scars and can result in shorter recovery times. Plastic surgeons use endoscopy for many cosmetic procedures. These include facelifts, forehead lifts, and breast augmentation.

What is an endoscopic facelift?

Nobody will look the same forever. With the passing effects of gravity and sun exposure, facial skin begins to sag, forming deep wrinkles. The facelift has been one of the leading cosmetic procedures for turning back the hands of time. It gives men and women a younger, more lively facial look. Only tiny incisions are made in the hairline. Natural folds of your skin to lessen the appearance of any incision lines or scars.

It targets the upper and central parts of a person’s face. This procedure is especially effective in treating frown lines and facial folds like smile lines.

It is less invasive than a traditional facial surgery such as a SMAS. Smaller incisions and an endoscope (lighted camera) allow a plastic surgeon to visualize internal structures without requiring complete face lifting surgery. This technique shortens recovery time. Also, it lessens visible scarring. However, it also prevents excess skin and loose skin removal.

Benefits of endoscopic procedure

An endoscopic facelift may be the answer for candidates who want a minimally invasive solution to sagging brows and cheeks. This procedure allows patients to get tighter, younger-looking facial features. And all this without the extensive scars of a traditional facial lifting while still allowing the surgeon adequate visualization of the structure of the face.

Different from a traditional face lifting surgery

With an endoscopic facelift, you can get many of the same benefits as a traditional one. But the surgery is less invasive, meaning a shorter, easier recovery time afterward. Using an endoscope (a long, thin tube with a lighted camera in the end) allows cosmetic surgeons to view hard-to-reach areas accurately. Even below the skin without making significant, extended cuts. Only tiny cuts are made using the natural creases of your skin. This lessens the appearance of any incision lines or scars.

The ‘scarless’ surgery– endoscopic facelift.

This is because it requires smaller, less visible incisions than a traditional facial lifting surgery. Those concerned about long-term scarring will want to consider this method over other options. In some cases, scars will be visible. But doctors can make the incisions in more hidden spots so they remain better remote.

Cons of endoscopic facelift

Not ideal for lifting the neck or jowl

This type of face-lifting surgery is generally only recommended for patients who want a lift in the forehead, eyes, and cheeks. Because the neck and jowls are not affected during this procedure, it’s primarily recommended for those who are happy with the look of the bottom of their face but want to address loose, sagging skin in the top portion.

Price

In general, the cost of an endoscopic midface lift is reasonably expensive. But the final price will depend on how much work is required and where you choose to have the procedure performed. This type of face lifting can run you anywhere from $6,000 to $10,000. This is actually on par with most other “mini facelift” options. But, it is significantly more affordable than a complete facelift (the Deep Plane).

Risk of injury

Although not exclusive to this type of face lifting, there are some risks associated with injury to the eye area. This is a primary concern with endoscopic forehead lifts or those primarily performed to tighten the area around the eyes and forehead. However, such complications are pretty rare.

Recovery after procedure

Recovery after an endoscopic facelift is often shorter than that of a traditional facial lifting surgery. Because the procedure is less invasive, your body will not need as much time to heal. Swelling and bruising will mostly resolve after about two weeks. However, most patients can return to work in just one week.

Who is a candidate for an endoscopic facelift?

This minimally invasive surgery tightens and reshapes your underlying facial muscles and tissue. It helps achieve a more youthful appearance.

The procedure targets the upper and the third middle region of the face and is best for improving issues such as:

Frown lines between the eyes
Marionette lines
Nasolabial folds
Sagging cheeks

This surgical procedure can be highly effective for men and women in their 30s, 40s, or 50s facing moderate signs of facial aging without large amounts of sagging skin.

FAQ's

1What are the potential side effects of an endoscopic facelift?

Following an endoscopic facelift, possible side effects include swellings, bruising, bleeding, pain, numbness, nerve injury, facial asymmetry, and prolonged edema.

2What are the takeaways from an endoscopic facelift?

The results of an endoscopic facelift are immediately visible following the procedure. Candidates can expect the long-term natural-looking results to last for 10 to 15 years. However, the results depend on continued aging, use, sun exposure, and gravity.

3Is the procedure elaborate?

Your surgeon will insert an endoscope. It is a tubular probe fitted with a tiny camera and bright light. This lets the surgeon view the body's internal structures on a viewing screen while moving the endoscope tube through the surgical area. To perform the operation, the surgeon will insert additional surgical instruments such as scalpels, scissors, or forceps through different incisions

4How accurate are the results?

The endoscope allows doctors to go deep within the facial structure. It enables them to make very precise and effective moves without going too deep. If you have a specific vision, you should talk to your doctor about this method. Because your doctor can see more, you’ll likely get an accurate result with an endoscopic facelift. Compared to the traditional method, it surely is more accurate.

5How much will an endoscopic facelift cost me?

An endoscopic facelift procedure can cost anywhere from $7,700 to $20,000. The actual cost depends upon location, board-certified facial plastic surgeon, and length and involvement of the plastic surgery.
