Endoscopic mid face lift, where are the incisions?

Question

So I am a bit worried and confused because a few surgeons told me different things about endoscopic mid face lift, so where exactly are the incisions made ? not only above the ears near hairline ? some said they have to insert something under my eyes which confuses me a lot and concerns me because I am afraid it might change eye shape. Thank you

Your concern is completely valid &mdash; the endoscopic midface lift is a highly specialized procedure, and it’s natural to receive slightly different explanations depending on each surgeon’s approach and experience.

An endoscopic mid-face lift has a very narrow population that actually have indications for a good result.  So, although the incisions are in the mouth and temple area, I would seek numerous consultations before proceeding.

Hello from Istanbul, Turkey! An endoscopic mid-face lift primarily involves making small incisions. Typically, two 2-3 cm long incisions are made within the hairline, one on the right and one on the left. If there's a need to address the inner part of the eyebrows and/ or the center of the forehead, additional incisions may be introduced. In certain cases, incisions might also be made inside the mouth. However, it's important to note that an endoscopic facelift in itself does not change the shape of the eye. Any modifications to the eye's appearance, such as achieving a fox/almond eye look, would come from other specific interventions. Hope this helps, best of luck!

An endoscopic midface lift is a totally useless operation. I recommend you not even waste your money on it

Gurkan Kayabasoglu, MD · Answer

An approximately 2 cm incision is made parallel to your hair in the temple area above your ear, usually 2 cm behind where the hair starts. It does not change the shape of your eye either.
