My surgeon suggested an endoscopic “deep plane” facelift as I am relatively young (39) and do not have excess skin that needs to be removed? By this endoscopic procedure, both lower face and mid face will be adressed (i.e. all relevant ligaments will be released and appropriately resuspended as if it is a traditional “deep plane” face lift. )is such thing is possible and safe?

Sometimes, the results don't fully meet expectations, especially if the procedure was meant to address early signs of aging. It's possible that the changes are subtle, which might be less satisfying if you were expecting a more dramatic difference.
