Endoscopic Midface Lift

The Endoscopic Midface Lift is a minimally invasive surgical technique designed to address aging-related changes in the midface, such as volume loss, tissue sagging, and skin laxity. Utilizing advanced endoscopic tools, this procedure precisely repositions facial tissues, restoring youthful contours with minimal scarring and downtime. In Turkey, The Endoscopic Midface Lift is highly sought after, thanks to expert surgeons, cutting-edge facilities, and cost-effective care, making it a premier destination for those seeking safe and natural facial rejuvenation.

Understanding the Midface Anatomy

Endoscopic Mid Facelift surgery

The midface refers to the area between the lower eyelids and the upper lip. Over time, gravity, loss of skin elasticity, and diminished fat volume in this region contribute to noticeable signs of aging, including:

  • Flattening of the cheeks.
  • Prominent tear troughs or hollow under-eye areas.
  • Deepening of the nasolabial folds.
  • Downturned corners of the mouth.

An Endoscopic Midface Lift specifically targets these issues by repositioning the underlying tissues, restoring volume, and rejuvenating the face’s natural contours.

 

Who Should Consider an Endoscopic Midface Lift?

This procedure is suitable for individuals experiencing midface aging but who may not require or desire a full facelift. Candidates often share the following characteristics:

  • Noticeable sagging in the cheek area.
  • Prominent nasolabial folds or hollows under the eyes.
  • Good overall health and realistic expectations.
  • A desire for natural results without extensive downtime.

Additionally, the endoscopic midface lift is ideal for people in their late 30s to early 50s who are beginning to notice early to moderate signs of aging. It is also a popular choice for those seeking to maintain their youthful appearance with minimally invasive techniques.

The Procedure – Step-by-Step Overview

  • Pre-Surgery Consultation and Planning
    The surgeon evaluates each patient thoroughly, engaging in a detailed discussion of their aesthetic goals. Advanced imaging and digital simulations help create a clear picture of the expected results.
  • Anesthesia
    The surgical team administers general anesthesia or intravenous sedation to ensure the patient remains comfortable throughout the procedure.
  • Incision Placement
    The surgeon makes small incisions, typically less than one centimeter, discreetly within the hairline or along natural facial creases. These incisions provide access to the underlying facial structures without leaving visible scarring.
  • Endoscopic Guidance
    The surgeon inserts an endoscope a thin tube with a camera and light through the incisions. This tool offers a magnified, high definition view of the treatment area, enhancing precision during the procedure.
  • Tissue Repositioning and Volume Restoration
    The surgeon carefully elevates and repositions the underlying tissues to restore the natural contours of the cheeks and reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds. The surgeon may also reposition or graft fat to address volume loss.
  • Secure Fixation and Closure
    Once the surgeon repositions the tissues, they use sutures or specialized fixation devices to maintain the new contours. The surgeon then closes the incisions meticulously, ensuring minimal scarring.
  • Post-Surgical Dressing
    The surgeon applies a light dressing to support the treated area during the initial healing phase.

 

Recovery – What to Expect After an Endoscopic Midface Lift

The recovery process after an endoscopic midface lift is typically smoother and shorter than traditional facelift procedures, thanks to the minimally invasive approach. Here’s what patients can expect during each phase of recovery:

  • Immediate Post-Operative Phase (Days 1–3):
    Swelling and bruising around the midface and eyes occur and gradually subside.
    Patients can manage mild discomfort with prescribed pain medications.
    The surgeon advises patients to keep their head elevated to reduce swelling and promote healing.
  • Early Healing Phase (Days 4–7):
    Bruising fades, and most swelling significantly reduces.
    The surgeon may remove stitches or sutures (if used) around this time.
    Patients can resume light activities, but they should avoid strenuous activities.
  • Mid-Recovery Phase (Weeks 2–4):
    The majority of swelling resolves, revealing early results.
    Patients can gradually return to normal activities, including work and social engagements.
    They can use makeup to conceal any residual bruising.
  • Full Recovery Phase (Weeks 5–8 and Beyond):
    Final results become more apparent as tissues fully heal and settle.
    Scars, if any, become nearly invisible over time.
    Regular follow-ups with the surgeon ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results.

Combining the Endoscopic Midface Lift with Other Procedures

To achieve a comprehensive facial rejuvenation, the endoscopic midface lift can be combined with other minimally invasive or surgical treatments, such as:

  • Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty): Addresses sagging or puffy eyelids for a refreshed appearance.
  • Fat Grafting: Restores volume to areas like the cheeks, temples, or lips.
  • Botox or Dermal Fillers: Enhances fine lines and complements surgical results.
  • Skin Resurfacing Treatments: Improves skin texture and tone for an overall youthful look.
