What is Endoscopic Facelift ?
An Endoscopic Facelift utilizes a thin camera (endoscope) inserted through small incisions, typically hidden within the hairline. The camera allows precise visualization of facial structures, enabling controlled lifting and repositioning of tissues in the upper and mid-face without extensive skin removal.
