Endoscopic Facelift in Turkey- This endoscopic facelift surgery is performed with the aim of tightening the skin firmly by using a minimally invasive technique that leaves nearly no traces as compared to the traditional facelift. It is indicated for changing pathologies in the upper third of the face: under-eye bags, brow sagging, frowns, crow’s feet, mid-face sag, and prominent nasolabial folds.

What Does an this technique Include?

This technique does not require much incision; the surgeon only makes 2 or 3 small, 2-3 cm incisions in the scalp, after which he introduces a small video camera, an endoscope, under the skin of the patient to access via these small incisions. In the surgical facelift technique, this technique is the optimal technology in correcting and softening the facial signs of aging, tightening the muscles, removing excessive fat, and repositioning the skin without leaving scars.

Examples of Endoscopic Facelift in Turkey

Surgical procedures like Dr. Ufuk Askeroğlu’s Bella Eyes and Trinity Lift surgeries are among the finest examples that are present for this endoscopic facelift technique. Bella Eyes surgery is also termed as a procedure combining endoscopic dynamic canthopexy and lateral brow-lift. While the Trinity Lift technique, or the endoscopic mid-face lift, rejuvenates the mid-face area and the temples.

Endoscopic Facelift (Brow Lift)

Dr. Ufuk Askeroğlu performs an Endoscopic Facelift in Turkey to raise the brows medially. Four incisions inside the scalp help to elevate the brow, but its shape will remain the same. An endoscopic brow lift is especially good for those patients who have very low brows because of aging or some genetic factors. Some patients have the impression that an upper blepharoplasty has been done; however, in most of these instances, the brow lift will increase the inter-space between the eyes and brows. They appear fresher with less tired eyes.

What Type of Patient Can Benefit from an Endoscopic Facelift?

This facelift technique is indicated in patients who show evident signs of aging, characterized by loss of firmness, sagging skin, or alterations in facial expression, and for whom this condition affects their self-confidence.

Can Lower Face Lifting Be Done Using the Endoscopic Technique?

This technique allows the face’s deeper layer, the SMAS, to be lifted, but in patients with significant sagging, some excess skin needs to be removed, which cannot be done in this technique. Excess skin that is not tufted can

result in facial indentations, a problem that we always would like to avoid when using any facelift technique. This can be used in patients who have limited sagging in the lower third of the face. Evidence, however, has yet to be established on how long stitching of the SMAS lasts for and, because of this, and because it does address sagging in the lower third of the face, we always do the deep plane facelift technique performed with incisions around and behind the ear for patients with sagging in the lower third of the face.
