Is it true that an endoscopic forehead lift is better than other techniques for lifting this area?
It is not necessary for a surgeon to choose the most suitable technique for each type of face. The main thing is that the plastic surgeon should be proficient in all the main face-lifting techniques and justify his or her choice of technique for your case.
How long does facial rejuvenation last?
A high-quality facelift lasts up to 10-15 years. In some cases, surgical and invasive techniques are combined to prolong the effect (fillers, collagen preparations, etc. are injected).
