What Is the Endo Deep Plane Lift?
The Endoscopic Deep Plane Facelift, utilized by Dr. Renato Saltz, is a next-generation facial rejuvenation technique that combines deep tissue lifting with the precision of endoscopic technology. This hybrid method delivers long-lasting, natural-looking results with minimal scarring, reduced bruising, and faster recovery—ideal for patients seeking advanced outcomes without the trauma of traditional facelift surgery.
Who Is a Candidate?
The endoscopic deep plane facelift is suitable for most surgical candidates seeking facial rejuvenation. This hybrid technique allows the upper and mid-face to be lifted endoscopically while the lower face and neck are addressed using traditional deep-plane methods. Ideal candidates typically:
- Are healthy and non-smoking
- Have good skin elasticity
- Show visible signs of aging in the upper, mid, or lower face
- Are often between their 40s and 60s
During your one-on-one consultation, Dr. Saltz will evaluate your anatomy and develop a customized treatment plan that combines endoscopic and traditional techniques to deliver natural, balanced results.
How It Works
Endoscopy uses a tiny camera inserted through small incisions behind the hairline (invisible scars) to magnify and illuminate the surgical field, allowing for precise dissection with minimal trauma, resulting in less swelling, less bruising, and a faster recovery. Dr. Saltz’s “Full SMAS: Endoscopy Assisted Full Facial Rejuvenation” combines this advanced technique with a hybrid approach: the upper and mid-face tissues are lifted endoscopically by releasing key ligaments, while the lower face and neck are treated with an open deep-plane dissection to address jowls, skin and muscle laxity—creating a natural, lifted contour from the forehead to jawline to the lower neck.
Recovery Timeline
- Week 1: Minimal swelling & bruising may occur
- Weeks 1–2: Gradual return to light activities
- Weeks 4–6: Noticeable improvements as natural healing progresses
- Month 3 and beyond: Refined, long-lasting natural results
The goal of this treatment is to enhance your natural features rather than dramatically alter them. Emphasis is placed on achieving a refreshed, youthful appearance that still looks like you just more rested and refined.
Frequently Asked Questions
While aging continues naturally, the results of an endoscopic facelift can last 15 years or more, especially when combined with good skincare and healthy lifestyle habits.
When performed by a highly experienced surgeon like Dr. Saltz—who has over 30 years of experience and has performed more than 30,000 procedures—an endoscopic facelift is considered a very safe and effective option. As with any major surgery, risks such as bleeding, infection, or temporary numbness can occur, but they are rare when proper care protocols are followed.
During the endoscopic deep plane facelift, patients are under general anesthesia, so they won’t feel any pain during the procedure itself. After surgery, some discomfort, swelling, and bruising are normal but typically manageable with prescribed pain medication and proper care. Most patients describe the post-operative pain as mild to moderate and well-controlled. Dr. Saltz and his team prioritize your comfort throughout recovery and provide detailed instructions to minimize discomfort and support healing.
Yes. The goal is a natural-looking, refreshed version of you—not an over-pulled or altered appearance. Dr. Saltz’s technique focuses on restoring youthful structure while preserving your unique facial identity.
Absolutely. Endoscopic facelifts are often combined with eyelid surgery, fat grafting, or laser resurfacing for full facial rejuvenation. Dr. Saltz will tailor a custom plan based on your goals.
To maintain your facelift results, plan regular treatments with our injector and master estheticians at Spa Vitoria. Services such as Botox, fillers, laser, microneedling, and skin tightening treatments can help prolong and enhance your outcome, especially when combined with healthy habits like sun protection and following all post-op care and follow-up visits.
