Does endoscopic face lift change eye shape?

Hello, hope you are well. The instrumentation does not really matter in the context of your question (whether an endoscope is used or not for a face lift). Any changes in the shape of the eye depend entirely on the surgeon's technique, and should be deliberate if wanted. You should discuss your goals and expectations with your surgeon so they can answer the question on a personalized basis.

Hello from Istanbul, Turkey! Thanks for this question. An endoscopic facelift primarily focuses on rejuvenating facial contours and doesn't change the eye's shape. However, eye shape can be altered by strategically tightening the canthal ligaments (which anchor the eye's outer corners to the bone) or severing and repositioning the canthal tendon at a higher level. These modifications can potentially create a more "almond" or "foxy" appearance. I'd like to point out that severing and reconnecting the canthal tendon is a rather aggressive procedure, which I generally approach with caution as potential complications may arise. That said, a subtle adjustment to the canthal ligament can help create an aesthetically pleasing eye shape that complements the results of the endoscopic facelift. Hope this helps, best of luck!

While facelift does not directly interfere on the eyelid or eye shape, depending on the dissecting area, skin around the eyes may be pulled in facelift surgery. Depending on the technique and the dissection area it will vary, but may have minor difference.I would recommend you to discuss with your surgeon about the dissection area of your facelift surgery. Thank you

Endoscopic techniques along with a facelift have not been shown to be if much value. It impressed people with fancy techniques but from a practical standpoint it doesn’t deliver

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately it is difficult to answer. There are many different procedures and techniques and the use of an endoscope in and of itself does not specifically indicate what operation was actually performed. An operation that has definitely fallen out of favor is a trans-blepharoplasty (lower lid) mid face lift with or without endoscopic assistance. That operation indeed created unusually shaped eyes with a high complication rate. Most plastic surgeons are not using the endoscope these days for facelift procedures.

I recommend consulting with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon whose aesthetic results and reviews appeal to you who can evaluate you and make specific treatment recommendations. Best of luck to you.

No face lift including endoscopic (I am not sure that I understand reason for endoscopic?) should change the eye shape. That is something that only the surgeon who proposed such a procedure could answer. Good luck.

Depending upon what specifically is done with a facelift, some changes may occur around the eyes, but are usually not permanent, especially with just using the scope.
