An endoscopic facelift uses a small camera called an endoscope to help surgeons visualize and reposition underlying facial tissues through strategically placed incisions. It primarily addresses mild to moderate aging in the upper and middle face, while traditional facelift techniques generally provide more extensive correction of the lower face and jawline.

Dr. Kulbersh also offers a surgical approach designed to create the lifted appearance commonly associated with different types of facelift surgeries. Rather than relying on limited hairline incisions, his technique allows deeper tissue repositioning and, when appropriate, removal of excess skin.

Dr. Kulbersh’s approach emphasizes repositioning deeper facial tissues rather than relying exclusively on skin tightening.

For a more specific approach, he places incisions strategically around the ears, allowing him to mobilize underlying tissues, lift descended structures, and remove excess skin as needed. The surgical plan depends on each patient’s anatomy and desired improvements.

The surgery is performed under appropriate anesthesia in the fully accredited Fairview Surgical Suites in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Endoscopic facelift recovery time varies by technique, the extent of surgery, and individual healing.

For Dr. Kulbersh’s facial lifting approach, patients generally plan for approximately one week of initial recovery. Swelling, bruising, and temporary discomfort are expected, although these symptoms gradually improve.

Strenuous exercise is typically restricted for approximately one month, depending on postoperative progress. Results become more apparent as swelling subsides and tissues settle into their new positions. Dr. Kulbersh provides specific recovery instructions and follow-up care throughout healing.
