Get the Endoscopic Composite Facelift

Endoscopic composite facelift is where endoscopic technique is used in facial cosmetic surgery. Forehead rejuvenation with the technique is a reliable method for both the surgeons and patients. Just like the composite facelift procedure gained popularity, the use of an endoscope for facial surgery procedures is gaining momentum.

What is an endoscopic composite facelift?

The endoscopic composite facelift surpasses all other facelift techniques. Your recovery from the procedure may be longer but you can be assured of long lasting results that look natural. The concept on which composite facelift is based is that facial aging happens in a dynamic manner which affects your face as a universal unit. This makes it important that your face is treated as a whole and not various independent parts.

The traditional facelift does not take this into consideration giving you a facelifted appearance.

What is the difference between a traditional and composite facelift?

Where the previous procedures repositioned tissue horizontally, the composite procedure counters the natural descent of your face with the use of vertical and true lift. The strongest direction of lift takes place upwards towards your eye. Another important difference between the two is treating the lower eyelid area.

When you get the endoscopic composite facelift, here are some more benefits you will enjoy:

• Smooth neck and jawline – the extra fat can be removed from the neck area with the procedure. Some more fat can be eliminated from the jawline and the muscle bands present in the middle area of the neck once these are sutured tight.
• Lateral sweep – usually after the traditional facelift, patients will find that the lower face is stretched. By lifting the skin and underlying muscles in a vertical fashion, composite facelift avoids this distortion. All SMAS facelifts may not lead to this lateral sweep, but they do result in that unnatural pulled appearance on your face. This happens because of the way SMAS horizontally repositions a tight jawline. It lasts longer and is much stronger than the horizontal repositioning that happens on the remaining facial tissue like the cheeks.
