I understand that they place some of the incisions inside the mouth and above the ear. Will this endoscopic mid-face lift help jowls?
The jowls may be helped with a midface lift done endoscopically. However, you may need some aspect of a regular facelift that actually removes excess skin and allows access to the tissues underlying the jowls so that the jowls can be maximally lifted. Check out some before and after photos of facelifts to be sure that you're comfortable with your choice of procedures. Good luck!
The mid face lift is designed to rejuvenate the area under the eyes, the cheeks, and the upper lip.
Advantages:
-Adresses an area not touched by the typical facelift
-No noticeable scars
-Most people look at your eyes, not your jowls
Disadvantages:
-Doesn't do much for the jowls
-Doesn't do anything for the brows and upper eyelids, which people do look at.
Alternatives:
Fat transfer to the midface.
Endoscopic midfacelift works best in conjunction with an endoscopic forehead lift.
