The endoscopic facelift is typically used in younger patients (35-65) with a minimal to moderate amount of excess skin. This procedure eliminates the need for the traditional ear to ear and hairline incisions found in the conventional facelift surgery. Good candidates for the endoscopic brow and midfacelift will usually have moderate excess skin and droop of the soft tissues which are typical signs of aging in adults. As we age there are several factors that affect our facial appearance these include: muscle activity, genes, sun damage, nutrition, and gravity. The endoscopic approach is used to create a more natural looking result with a quicker recovery period.
