Right: The results of a successful face-lift surgery
 
Right now, in the world of face-lifts, endoscopic procedures are all the rage.
 
In a traditional face-lift, the incision starts at the sideburns and drops down around each ear and continues to the base of the neck. In an endoscopic face-lift, surgeons make several small incisions (often less than an inch long) into which they insert a slender, wand-like tube with a fiber optic camera attached. With the help of this camera, doctors can lift and reposition facial tissue, working directly with the muscles and tissues that are sagging (as opposed to just pulling back surface skin). As a result, the endoscopic face-lift involves shorter recovery times and a more natural look compared to the traditional face-lift.
