Endoscopic facial rejuvenation

The endoscopic facial rejuvenation approach allows for repositioning of the forehead, brews, and periorbital and malar tissues. Through minimal incisions and using magnification for soft-tissue dissections, the endoscopic approach allows surgeons to reach areas that are otherwise difficult to approach with the open face technique, maintaining a normal plane of cleavage and protecting structures (motor branches of facial nerves) while allowing wide soft-tissue mobilization. These procedures are indicated for forehead periorbital and upper face rejuvenation with minimal to moderate improvement of the jaw area. It can be performed alone or in conjunction with the open approach for correcting lower face and neck aging. Indications, advantages, and complications are discussed in this article.
