I understand that they place some of the incisions inside the mouth and above the ear. Will this endoscopic mid-face lift help jowls?
Answer: Endoscopic Mid-face Lift Does Not Correct Jowls The best way to understand an endoscopic mid-face lift, which was popularized in the 90's is that is an isolated cheek elevation. There is no correction of jowls, no correction of the neck, and no removal of excess skin. Therefore, you might ask why people perform this procedure still? I ask myself the same question. A well performed deep plane facelift will elevate the cheeks, contour the jawline/ jowls, and tighten the neck with adequate skin removal and inconspicuous scars.

Answer: Midface Lift and Jowls
A midface lift is designed to lift the malar fat pad (cheek pad or tissues of the midface) to a higher position. It does not impact the jowl area or the neck.

Answer: MIdface lift usually does not help jowls As an experienced endoscopic mid-face lift surgeon, I can say that in most cases it does not affect the jowl area. The primary areas affected are the periorbital (around the eye) and cheek areas.

Answer: Endoscopic midface lift 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!

Answer: Midface lift An endoscopic mid face lift is designed to specifically address your cheeks, nasolabial folds, and to some degree, the area below your eyes. It is an effective procedure under the proper circumstances, but, the procedure does have potential complications you will need to ask your surgeon about. Unfortunately, the lower face (jowls) will not be modified by mid face procedures and you will need a mini or full facelift for these areas.
