Types of Facelift Procedures
Traditional (Deep Plane/SMAS) Facelift
A traditional facelift improves moderate to advanced facial aging by lifting and repositioning deeper facial tissues while reducing sagging skin along the jawline and lower face. This approach can create comprehensive rejuvenation with long-lasting results.
Mini Facelift
A mini facelift is ideal for patients with early signs of aging who want subtle facial rejuvenation with smaller incisions and shorter recovery time. This procedure focuses on mild jowling and lower facial laxity.
Endoscopic Facelift
An endoscopic facelift—also called an endoscopic midface lift—is a minimally invasive facelift technique that uses small hidden incisions and advanced visualization technology to elevate deeper facial tissues.
This approach is especially effective for:
- Sagging cheeks
- Midface volume loss
- Under-eye hollowing
- Early facial descent
- Deep smile lines
By repositioning underlying facial structures rather than simply tightening skin, endoscopic facelift surgery can deliver smoother, more natural-looking facial rejuvenation with less visible scarring.
Midface & Cheek Lift Enhancement
For patients experiencing flattening of the cheeks or heaviness beneath the eyes, midface lifting techniques may be incorporated into facelift surgery to restore youthful contour and facial balance.
