Endoscopic Face Lift
Face lifts are common procedures used to correct visible signs of aging in the face. They're popular because wrinkles and saggy skin are a common symptom of older age. In a culture where looks are important and youth is worshipped, these signs of aging are considered flaws. People with them can experience poor relations and reduced self-confidence, even if they feel young on the inside. That's why people are interested in fixing these problems in a one-time cosmetic surgery operation.
Traditional Face Lift Surgery vs Endoscopic
However, the traditional face lift surgery is quite extensive. It requires large incisions near the ear. These incisions allow a doctor to access the tissue and muscle in the lower face for reconstruction. Ultimately, the skin must be pulled back and sutured to take out the slack of loose skin.
These incisions are prone to infection, and are difficult to hide without long hair. Furthermore, the entire procedure is rather drastic because some people only have fewer signs of aging and do not require the full procedure.
What are the Benefits of Endoscopic Face Lift Surgery?
The Endoscopic Face Lift Surgery Procedure
An endoscopic face lift takes a bit longer due to the delicate coordination of the endoscopic probes. However, the operation is still done on an outpatient basis with patients allowed to return home right after the surgery.
That's why an endoscopic face lift could be a better choice for you. An endoscope is a probe with a camera attachment that beams the image to a television screen so that the surgeon can see what's underneath the skin.
An endoscopic surgery requires smaller incisions than traditional face lift surgery. These smaller incisions reduce the number of complications, speeds up the recovery time, and are easier to hide.
Results From Endoscopic Face Lift Surgery
The results are not as dramatic as a traditional face lift, but it's perfect for people who are just looking for a maintenance procedure to cure initial signs of aging. For younger people it's an ideal procedure because it is a subtle change that is difficult to detect, and can give the impression of perpetual youth.
Endoscopic face lift surgery is becoming a popular procedure due to its increased safety and faster recovery. The risk of unsightly scars is also reduced with an endoscopic procedure. More and more people these days want a face lift surgery, and for most of them an endoscopic face lift would probably make more sense.
Is Endoscopic Face Lift Surgery For You?
An endoscopic surgery may or may not be the right choice for you, but it's definitely the safer and less invasive option of the two. Only you and your surgeon can determine which option is suited best.
