endoscopic deep plane face lift
Endoscopic Deep Plane Face Lift
Combining deep plane technique advantages with endoscopic approach: deep result, minimal scars, faster recovery.
Duration
3-4.5 hours
Anesthesia
General anesthesia
Result
Stabilized result at 3-6 months; lasts 10-14 years
Overview
Endoscopic deep plane lift integrates two of the most advanced techniques in facial surgery: the depth of deep plane dissection and the minimally invasive nature of endoscopy. This combination allows release of retaining ligaments and unitary tissue repositioning through a reduced number of hidden incisions, without the long preauricular scars of SMAS or traditional deep plane lifts.
Dr. Mubariz Mammadli is one of the few surgeons in Romania practicing this advanced technique. Particularly indicated for patients with aging signs of the upper and middle thirds who want the real anatomic result of the deep plane technique without visible facial scars. Recovery is intermediate between classic endoscopic lift and traditional deep plane.
Who it is for
- Patients 40-60 with medium-advanced facial aging signs

Frequently asked questions
How much does endoscopic deep plane lift cost?
This is a highly advanced surgical technique combining expertise in deep plane and endoscopy. The exact price, with hospitalization and follow-ups, is set at individual consultation.
How does it differ from traditional deep plane lift?
Traditional deep plane uses preauricular incisions. The endoscopic version achieves the same deep effect through hidden scalp and intraoral incisions, avoiding facial scars. Trade-off: somewhat more limited access for treating the deep lower third.
Who is the ideal candidate?
Patients 40-60 with aging signs concentrated on the upper and middle thirds, who want the real anatomic result of deep plane without preauricular scars. Cases with severe cervical descent benefit more from traditional deep plane combined with neck lift.
How long does recovery take?
Socially acceptable appearance at 3 weeks. Recovery is intermediate between classic endoscopic lift (faster) and traditional deep plane (more extensive). Final result at 3-6 months.
How long does the result last?
The result lasts on average 10-14 years, comparable to traditional deep plane lift, thanks to the deep ligament release that confers real anatomic stability.
