An Endoscopic Facelift is a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedure designed to lift and reposition the deeper tissues of the face using small incisions hidden within the hairline. By using a tiny camera (endoscope) and specialised surgical instruments, the procedure restores a more youthful appearance with less visible scarring and a shorter recovery compared to traditional facelift techniques.

This advanced technique is particularly effective for lifting the mid-face, cheeks and brow, helping to restore facial volume, improve contour and reduce the early signs of ageing while maintaining natural facial expression.

An Endoscopic Facelift may be suitable for patients who:

• Have mild to moderate facial sagging.

• Notice drooping cheeks or loss of facial volume.

• Have deepening smile lines or early jowls.

• Want facial rejuvenation with minimal scarring.

• Are looking for a natural-looking, long-lasting result.

Dr Ardeshir Vahidi carefully tailors every endoscopic facelift to each patient's facial anatomy, ensuring subtle, refreshed results that enhance natural beauty rather than dramatically altering appearance.

Procedure Time

An Endoscopic Facelift typically takes 2–4 hours and is performed under general anaesthetic.

Most patients return home on the same day or after an overnight stay, depending on their individual treatment plan.

Recovery

Swelling and bruising are expected during the first 1–2 weeks, with most patients feeling comfortable returning to work and normal daily activities within 10–14 days.

Light exercise can usually be resumed after 2–3 weeks, while strenuous activity should be avoided for approximately 4–6 weeks. As swelling settles, the facial contours continue to improve over the following months.

Results

The results of an Endoscopic Facelift are natural, long-lasting and designed to restore a refreshed, youthful appearance without creating an "overdone" look. By repositioning the deeper facial tissues rather than simply tightening the skin, the procedure provides elegant, balanced facial rejuvenation while preserving your unique facial characteristics.

Consultation

During your consultation, Dr Ardeshir Vahidi will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your concerns and recommend the most appropriate facial rejuvenation options for your individual needs. Every treatment plan is tailored to achieve safe, personalised and natural-looking results, helping you look refreshed, confident and like the very best version of yourself.
