An endoscopic facelift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that addresses signs of aging in the mid-face, cheek, and jawline areas. Unlike a traditional facelift, which involves more extensive incisions, an endoscopic facelift uses small incisions hidden within the hairline. A specialized endoscope—a tiny camera—gives surgeons a clear view of the facial structure, allowing precise lifting and repositioning of tissues to achieve a natural, refreshed look. This technique allows patients to enhance their facial contours with minimal scarring and downtime.
On the day of the procedure, patients receive general anesthesia to ensure comfort. Endoscopic surgery begins when the surgeon makes several small incisions within the hairline to insert the endoscope beneath this skin. Using the endoscope, the surgeon carefully lifts and repositions sagging facial tissues, focusing on the mid-face, cheeks, and jawline to restore a youthful contour. Minor adjustments to the brow or neck area may be included in some cases, depending on the patient’s needs. The incisions are then meticulously closed, leaving minimal visible scarring, and the patient is moved to a comfortable recovery area.
Restores volume and lift to the mid-face area, helping to address the appearance of sagging skin. It also reduces sagging along the jawline for a more defined appearance, reversing the appearance of jowls. This minimally invasive procedure provides lift to areas with early signs of aging without excessive skin removal, softening deeper creases like nasolabial folds extending from the nose to the mouth by repositioning the facial tissues. It can also be combined with other cosmetic procedures like an endoscopic brow lift to reposition underlying facial muscles and deliver a more comprehensively youthful appearance.
At our office in Miami endoscopic facelift procedures primarily target:
An endoscopic facelift uses smaller incisions, typically hidden within the hairline, resulting in minimal visible scarring and a quicker recovery compared to traditional facelift techniques. The endoscopic facelift achieves a natural and rejuvenated appearance that aligns with the patient’s natural features by lifting and repositioning underlying facial tissues rather than merely pulling the skin. With less invasive techniques, patients often experience a quicker recovery, returning to their routine with a refreshed look in a shorter time. With an endoscopic facelift Miami patients get enduring results by addressing the deeper layers of facial tissue, maintaining youthful enhancements for years.
An endoscopic facelift is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate signs of aging who seek a refreshed look without the extensive downtime of a traditional facelift. Candidates should be in good overall health, be non-smokers or willing to quit, and have realistic expectations regarding the procedure’s outcome. Those with significant skin laxity or severe sagging may benefit more from a traditional facelift, which can be discussed during the consultation.
Recovery from an endoscopic facelift generally takes one to two weeks. Patients may experience mild swelling and bruising, which gradually improves. During this time, patients should avoid strenuous activities and follow post-operative care instructions provided by our team to support healing and optimal results. Keeping the head elevated, avoiding smoking, and following a healthy diet can aid recovery. Any residual swelling will diminish over several months, revealing the full, natural-looking results.
Patients will notice a more youthful and lifted appearance in the mid-face and jawline.
