What Is an Endoscopic Facelift?
The endoscopic-assisted facelift is a facial plastic surgery procedure that offers patients the advantages of modern endoscopic technology. This tiny, lighted camera at the end of a thin tube allows for smaller incisions, minimizing recovery downtime. It also affords for greater visualization of the surgical area, resulting in improved brow position and cheek facial contours, which can lead to a better overall aesthetic outcome in patients whose primary concern is a drooping brow or sagging cheek.
Benefits of an Endoscopic Facelift
This procedure is sought after for its ability to deliver refined, natural-looking results in brow and cheek rejuvenation. Key advantages of the endoscopic facelift technique include:
- Natural-Looking Results: A minimally invasive approach enables deep tissue repositioning, resulting in subtle refinements and improving the appearance of sagging cheeks and drooping brows. No significant changes in jowls, fullness under the chin, or other signs of aging could be expected from this procedure.
- Minimally Invasive: The use of an endoscopic camera allows the surgeon to use this technique to achieve excellent results without the need for extensive incision.
- Smaller Incisions: The endoscope is a tiny device, so only small incisions are needed, resulting in shorter, less noticeable scars.
- Better Outcomes: This technique doesn’t use the longer cuts typically associated with traditional forehead lifts. This advantage is reflected in improved facial outcome with optimal scarring.
- Shorter Recovery: This technique is precise and involves less bruising and swelling than a traditional full brow lift. Recovery is shorter, and patients can return to their daily activities sooner, even when performed in conjunction with other facelift techniques.
How Much Is an Endoscopic Facelift?
The average cost of an endoscopic facelift in New York can range from $25,000 to $50,000 when performed by a facial plastic surgeon specializing in this procedure. The cost might be less with plastic surgeons who specialize in other areas of the body, however the results might be less consistent and the risk of complications may increase.
What Factors Affect the Cost of an Endoscopic Facelift?
Several factors influence the total cost of an endoscopic facelift. This specific technique requires advanced training in endoscopic technology and surgical dexterity to navigate the underlying facial structures with minimal access, achieved through shorter incisions.
In addition to the technical specifications, other factors affecting cost include:
Surgeon’s Expertise: Surgeons with more experience and expertise in facial plastic surgery command higher fees than surgeons with less specialized training. For the best results and to make the most of this investment in yourself, it’s recommended that you seek out the expertise of a facial plastic surgery specialist.
Geographic Location: Plastic surgery tends to be more expensive in metropolitan areas with higher costs of living and greater competition than in more other areas, but the options for expertise tends to be greater in metropolitan areas, as well.
Anesthesia Fees: These cover the local or IV sedation used, as well as the anesthesiologist tending to you throughout surgery.
Facility Fees: These funds support staff, operating room costs, and other expenses that cover the cost of running the surgical facility.
These are just a few of the components that influence the overall cost of an endoscopic facelift. The best way to receive an accurate, personalized quote is to schedule a consultation with a highly qualified plastic surgeon.
