What is an Endoscopic Facelift?

An endoscopic facelift is an advanced facial rejuvenation procedure designed to elevate and reposition underlying tissues of the mid-face. Unlike traditional facelifts that require extensive incisions, this technique uses small, strategically placed incisions through which a tiny camera (endoscope) guides the surgical process. The procedure targets early signs of aging, such as sagging cheeks, deep nasolabial folds, and loss of volume in the mid-face region, providing a fresher, more youthful appearance.

How Does an Endoscopic Facelift Work?

Using an endoscope—a small, flexible camera—Dr. Mentz can visualize and adjust the deeper facial structures with exceptional precision. Through minimal incisions hidden in the hairline, he gently lifts and repositions facial tissues to restore youthful contours. Because this technique is less invasive than a full facelift, patients experience less scarring, reduced swelling, and a faster recovery while still achieving significant rejuvenation.

Benefits of an Endoscopic Facelift

  • Minimally invasive: Smaller incisions mean less scarring and a shorter recovery period.
  • Natural-looking results: Enhances facial contours without the “overdone” look.
  • Less downtime: Faster healing compared to a traditional facelift.
  • Precision and control: The endoscopic technique allows for detailed adjustments.
  • Improved skin laxity: Restores a firmer, lifted appearance.
  • Long-lasting effects: Results can last up to a decade with proper skincare and maintenance.

Am I a Good Candidate for an Endoscopic Facelift?

An endoscopic facelift is ideal for individuals who want a more youthful appearance but are not yet ready for a full facelift. You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Are in your late 30s to early 50s
  • Have mild to moderate facial sagging, particularly in the mid-face
  • Desire natural-looking rejuvenation with minimal downtime
  • Are in good overall health with realistic expectations
  • Want a procedure with hidden incisions and less scarring

What to Expect During an Endoscopic Facelift

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, with small incisions placed discreetly within the hairline, allowing access to the deeper layers of the face. Using the endoscope for precision, Dr. Mentz lifts and repositions facial tissues, securing them for long-lasting, natural results. The surgery typically takes two to three hours.

Endoscopic Facelift Recovery and Results

Because this procedure is minimally invasive, recovery is significantly quicker than traditional facelifts. Patients can expect the following during their recovery:

  • Mild swelling and bruising, which subside within 7–10 days
  • A return to normal activities within two weeks
  • Continued refinement of results over several months

Final results gradually emerge over several weeks to months, revealing a refreshed, elegantly lifted facial appearance.

As swelling subsides and tissues settle, youthful definition and balance are fully restored, creating a beautifully rejuvenated and harmonious look.

Endoscopic Facelift FAQ

How does an endoscopic facelift compare to non-surgical options like fillers or thread lifts?

While fillers and thread lifts provide temporary volume and lift, an endoscopic facelift offers a more long-lasting and structural improvement by repositioning facial tissues rather than adding volume or suspending the skin.

Can an endoscopic facelift improve the jawline and lower face?

An endoscopic facelift primarily targets the mid-face, but it can enhance the jawline when combined with other procedures like a lower facelift or neck lift for a more comprehensive result.

How do I know if I need an endoscopic facelift or a traditional facelift?

If you have mild to moderate facial aging, particularly in the mid-face, an endoscopic facelift may be ideal. If you have significant sagging in the lower face and neck, a traditional facelift may be more appropriate. Dr. Mentz will assess your specific needs during your consultation.

Are there specific post-surgery skincare recommendations to prolong results?

Yes, maintaining a good skincare regimen, including medical-grade skincare products, sunscreen, and occasional non-surgical treatments like laser resurfacing or microneedling, can help preserve and enhance your facelift results.

Can I combine an endoscopic facelift with other facial procedures?

Absolutely. Many patients choose to combine an endoscopic facelift with procedures such as blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), fat grafting, or a brow lift for a more harmonious rejuvenation.

How soon can I exercise after an endoscopic facelift?

Light activities can typically be resumed within a week, but more strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least four to six weeks to allow proper healing.

Will an endoscopic facelift change my facial expressions?

No, the procedure is designed to enhance your natural features while maintaining facial mobility and expression. Dr. Mentz’s approach ensures subtle, natural-looking results.

How does Dr. Mentz personalize the procedure for each patient?

Dr. Mentz takes a customized approach by assessing each patient’s unique facial structure and aesthetic goals, using advanced 3D imaging and detailed planning to ensure the most natural and effective results.
