Along with the hands and neck, the face is exposed to aggressive environmental influences (insolation, high/low temperatures, high/low humidity). It is for this reason that age is so seriously imprinted on a person's face. The quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the skin change.
The middle third of the face is most susceptible to sagging. This leads to the appearance and deepening of the nasolabial folds, the appearance of paint bags and wrinkles in the lower eyelid area. In addition, the lack of volume and elasticity of the tissues in the cheekbones is a direct indication of age-related changes in the body. Due to the low trauma involved, an excellent rejuvenating effect is achieved with the shortest possible rehabilitation period, which is well tolerated by patients.
Another undoubted advantage is the invisible scars (the incision is made in the scalp and is small in length with the preservation of hair follicles - no bald spots are formed). A full-fledged facial soft tissue lifting is performed with a small access using an endoscope.

Popular queries
What are the possible complications?
Due to the technical features of the operation, it is possible that the innervation of the middle and upper third of the face may be impaired (paresis). These are extremely rare, but still possible complications. They are well amenable to physiotherapy. Mimic activity is restored in a short time.
Is it possible to eliminate facial asymmetry using this technique?
Asymmetry of the facial skeleton is a direct indication for this operation. It can be a stage of orthodontic correction of the face.
Is this type of lift possible for people with alopecia?
In people with insufficient hair growth, small incisions (punctures for the endoscope) can almost completely camouflage the scar. In addition, the hair follicles are not destroyed, as in a classic lift with long incisions. Tissue trophism is not affected.
