What is an Endoscopic Face Lift?

When a procedure is described as being
"endoscopic," it means that the surgeon performs it with the use of a
thin, lighted probe called an endoscope. An endoscope helps the surgeon
visualize the treatment area without making a large incision, minimizing scarring
and recuperation time. However, this method isn't typically used for
traditional facelift surgery. Because of the anatomical limitations of the
face, the endoscopic technique is typically used when a patient wishes to treat
the mid- to upper face. A traditional facelift treats the lower two-thirds of
the face, which is where most people see the most significant signs of physical
aging. Hope this helped!

An endoscopic facelift is performed
through small incisions in the scalp with the assistance of an endoscope.  The procedure is very effective for browlifts, but has limited applications for facelift surgery.

The major advantage of this
procedure is limited incisions.  In
most cases, this procedure doesn’t adequately treat excess skin.  For this reason, the procedure has
limited applications for facial rejuvenation and most patients therefore
require a traditional facelift. 

I always recommend a full facelift.  Best to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.  Best of luck.
