Endoscopic mid-face lift is a modern aesthetic surgery method applied to correct sagging and volume loss in the cheek and under-eye area. In this procedure, the mid-face tissues are lifted with the help of an endoscopic camera through small incisions and a more youthful appearance is achieved. Endoscopic mid-face lift stands out with minimal scarring and fast recovery time, so it is often preferred by patients who want natural and permanent results. Before the operation, the patient's facial structure and expectations are evaluated in detail and a personalized treatment plan is created. This procedure, performed by an experienced surgeon, helps facial features look more dynamic, youthful and vibrant. Following the doctor's recommendations after the surgery is very important to achieve successful and long-lasting results.
Endoscopic mid-face lift is a modern aesthetic surgical method applied to address sagging, volume loss, and wrinkles in the mid-face area (cheekbones, cheeks, and under the eyes) that occur with aging. This technique is less invasive than classic facelift surgeries and is performed using minimal incisions with the aid of a camera called an endoscope. The rejuvenation of the mid-face area revitalizes the overall expression of the face, providing a more vibrant and healthy appearance.
Endoscopic mid-face lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes small incisions in the hairline or inside the mouth and places the endoscope and special surgical instruments through these incisions. Using the camera, the tissues in the mid-face area are carefully released and lifted upward. During this procedure, the cheekbones are accentuated, sagging in the cheeks is addressed, and the under-eye area is given a more youthful appearance. Since the incisions are in the hairline or inside the mouth, there are no visible scars. The surgery usually lasts 1.5 to 2 hours, and patients are often discharged on the same day.

Endoscopic mid-face lift can be performed in different ways depending on the technique used and the targeted area:
A standard method performed using an endoscope and surgical instruments through small incisions made in the hairline.

Mid-face lift can be performed in conjunction with procedures such as lower eyelid aesthetics or fat injection.

Preoperative preparation is crucial for the success of the operation and the recovery process. The following should be considered:
These precautions contribute to the safe and successful completion of the surgery.
The postoperative recovery process is crucial for both the permanence of aesthetic results and the patient’s comfort. In the initial days, mild swelling, bruising, and sensitivity may occur. These symptoms typically decrease within a few weeks. Keeping the head elevated as recommended by the doctor, applying cold compresses, and regularly using prescribed medications can accelerate recovery. Stitches are usually removed after 7-10 days. During the postoperative period, it is essential to avoid heavy exercise, sunlight, and hot environments. Smoking and alcohol use are not recommended as they can adversely affect the recovery process. Complete recovery and the final shape of the face may take several months. It is important to be patient during this process and not to miss regular doctor check-ups.
