Today, endoscopic lifting – one of the most demanded surgeries in the market of aesthetic medicine. A highly effective procedure that is in no way inferior to a classic facelift. This method is used not only to combat age-related changes, but also for beautification, correction of hereditary facial features and its asymmetry.

Oleg Tkach, , a plastic surgeon, shared with readers of estet-portal.com about the benefits, indications and contraindications for endoscopic lifting.

Endoscopic lifting: the essence of the technique and indications for surgery

Endoscopic lifting – is a progressive minimally invasive way of facial rejuvenation.

Special equipment is used – an endoscope with a miniature video camera that allows you to make a facelift through small skin incisions. The essence of the endoscopic lifting operation is to eliminate ptosis and lift the upper and middle thirds of the faces.

Unlike the classic facelift, the endoscopic facelift procedure has a low risk of complications and a quick recovery period.
The operation is indicated for women aged 35 to 50 with normal or thin skin, mild to moderate wrinkles and slight ptosis. Endoscopic lifting solves many age-related and aesthetic problems, such as:

    eyebrow ptosis;
    • forehead wrinkles;
    • pronounced nasolabial folds;
    • lowering of the oval of the face;
    • facial asymmetry;
    • hollowness, sagging, lack of volume of the cheekbones;
    • drooping of the outer corners of the eyes;
    • Need to correct the jaw line and eliminate sagging skin of the neck.
This is a generally accepted world technique that is not widely used in our country, although it gives a very good result.

Endoscopic facelift is the future: advantages of the method

Endoscopic lifting, like a classic facelift, allows you to achieve a stunning rejuvenating effect. However, this method has a number of significant advantages:

    Minimally invasive endoscopic lifting. During the operation, vessels and nerve endings are not affected, which eliminates bleeding, hematomas and numbness of the skin in the affected area;
    • no scarring. Small incisions through which the muscles and skin are tightened are made in the hair, in the mouth, behind the ears. Unlike a traditional lift, postoperative scars are invisible, hair loss rarely occurs in the area of ​​incisions.
    • no seams. Upon completion of the procedure, the edges of the incisions are fastened with staples, which are removed on the 10-14th day. Sometimes self-absorbable sutures may also be placed over the incisions;
    • duration of the effect. The result of such an endoscopic facelift lasts up to 10 years;
    • easy rehabilitation period. Full recovery after the procedure takes no more than 2 weeks.
A significant disadvantage of the endoscopic method is the possibility of its implementation for people only with a certain thickness of subcutaneous fat.
