Many techniques

Kevin Ende, MD answers: Are all midface lifts done endoscopically these days?

Is it now common for the procedure to be done endoscopically? Are there any advantages to having mid facelift done NOT endoscopically (can you see more, have more control, precision)? Is it enough the "standard of care" that I should look skeptically at a surgeon who doesn't do this procedure? I'm thinking of having it done to improve the sagging of my cheeks but not sure its the right procedure.

Midfacelifts are performed in many different ways. There really isn't a procedure that qualifies as the standard of care as with most facial plastic procedures. I prefer a midface lift via a percutaneous technique with gortex suture, however, endoscopic lifts are also commonly performed.
