The endoscopic facelift is a minimally invasive technique designed to refresh and lift the upper and midface, particularly the temples, cheeks, and eye area, without leaving visible scars. Unlike traditional facelift methods, this approach repositions deeper tissue layers through tiny, discreet incisions, preserving natural facial expressions while restoring youthful contours.

This technique is ideal for younger patients experiencing early to moderate signs of aging, such as mild sagging in the midface, drooping brows, or a tired expression. It is particularly well-suited for individuals who want a refreshed, vibrant, and naturally lifted appearance without undergoing a full facelift.

For optimal results, the endoscopic facelift is often combined with eyelid lifts, fat transfer, or deep neck contouring, ensuring a harmonious and long-lasting rejuvenation tailored to each patient's unique features.

Initial improvements can be seen within a few days, as swelling begins to subside. Over the next few weeks, the tissues gradually settle, and the skin regains its natural smoothness and elasticity. The final results fully develop between 8 to 12 weeks, once the healing process is complete.

The endoscopic facelift provides long-lasting rejuvenation, with results that typically endure for many years, depending on skin quality, lifestyle, and genetics. Since this technique repositions the deeper facial layers rather than simply tightening the skin, the aging process continues naturally and harmoniously, preserving the refreshed and youthful look for a prolonged period. A well-maintained skincare routine, sun protection, and complementary regenerative treatments can help extend the longevity of the results.

Due to legal regulations, before-and-after images can only be published in Germany under certain restrictions. ​

However, during a personal consultation, Dr. Gueven offers you the opportunity to discreetly view anonymized case studies and photographic documentation. This allows you to gain a realistic impression of the results that can be achieved with his endoscopic facelift. After all, only a well-informed patient can make a decision that is both right and safe.

One of the key advantages of the endoscopic facelift is that it leaves no visible scars. The incisions are placed discreetly within the hairline or in natural creases, making them virtually undetectable once healed. Through these small entry points, the deeper facial structures are repositioned, restoring youthful contours without the need for extensive incisions.

As with any surgical procedure, temporary swelling, bruising, or a feeling of tightness may occur, but these effects typically subside within a few days. Thanks to the minimally invasive approach, the recovery is fast. When performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Gueven, the procedure is safe, precise, and designed for natural, long-lasting results.

The recovery period after an endoscopic facelift typically ranges from 2 to 4 weeks. In the first 5 to 7 days, mild swelling and possible minor bruising are normal but usually subside quickly.​

Most patients feel comfortable resuming social activities after about 10 days. Thanks to the minimally invasive technique without visible scars, the face appears presentable early after the procedure. To support optimal healing, strenuous activities and direct sun exposure should be avoided for several weeks. An individualized aftercare plan ensures that you feel secure and well-cared-for throughout the entire healing process.

Proper preparation and diligent aftercare are crucial for optimal results. Prior to the operation, it's advisable to avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and nicotine to minimize the risk of swelling and bruising.​

After the surgery, rest is essential in the initial days. Cooling measures can help reduce swelling, and maintaining a slightly elevated head position while lying down supports healing. Direct sun exposure and strenuous physical activities should be avoided for several weeks.​

Thanks to the minimally invasive technique, tissues heal rapidly, allowing most patients to resume their regular daily activities shortly after the procedure. Regular follow-up appointments ensure optimal healing and guide you toward a natural, harmonious result.
