Awake Endoscopic Facelift in Lubbock, TX

Lift Your Brow, Cheeks, and Midface with Minimal, Hidden Incisions Under Local Anesthesia

As the upper and middle areas of the face age, the brows can drop, cheeks lose their youthful fullness, and deep lines can form between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds). If you want to lift these areas but dread the long, visible scars around the ears that come with a traditional facelift—or want to avoid general anesthesia—an endoscopic approach offers the perfect solution.

At FacePLUS+ Plastic Surgery Institute in Lubbock, Texas, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Thanapoom (Mo) Boonipat provides a cutting-edge alternative: the Awake Endoscopic Facelift. By integrating high-definition camera technology with targeted local numbing, Dr. Mo works through tiny, completely concealed incisions to lift the upper half of your face while you rest comfortably awake.

 

What is an Endoscopic Facelift?

Traditional facelifts require longer incisions that wrap around the front and back of the ears to trim away large amounts of loose skin. This is highly effective for the lower jaw and neck, but less ideal for the upper face and cheeks.

An Endoscopic Facelift focuses entirely on structural repositioning using a specialized surgical camera called an endoscope.

• Minimal Incisions: Dr. Mo makes a few tiny incisions (less than an inch long) hidden entirely behind your hairline.

• Micro-Camera Precision: The endoscope transmits a magnified, high-definition view of the internal tissues to a monitor. This allows Dr. Mo to navigate beneath the surface with supreme accuracy.

• Structural Lift: Rather than pulling the skin horizontally, Dr. Mo vertically lifts the deep muscles and fallen fat pads of the cheeks and brows, anchoring them firmly into a higher, more youthful position.

The Awake Advantage Under Local Anesthesia

Choosing an "awake" endoscopic facial rejuvenation means your procedure is performed using highly advanced tumescent local anesthesia.

• Complete Comfort: The treatment areas are fully numbed. You will remain relaxed and fully awake, feeling zero actual pain—only light pressure or movement.

• Enhanced Safety Profile: By completely bypassing general anesthesia, you eliminate the risks of systemic complications, nausea, and the dreaded "sedation hangover."

• Cost-Effective Luxury: Performing this in our private suite eliminates expensive hospital stays and third-party anesthesiologist fees, making advanced camera-guided facial rejuvenation significantly more accessible.

Why Choose FacePLUS+ in West Texas?

Quad A Accredited Surgical Facility

While many providers perform local anesthesia procedures in standard, unaccredited office rooms, FacePLUS+ refuses to compromise on safety. Our institute is a fully Quad A Accredited surgical facility. This ensures hospital-level sterility, strict safety protocols, and state-of-the-art monitoring equipment within a private, boutique setting.

Mayo Clinic & Ivy League Distinction

Dr. Mo Boonipat is an exceptionally trained, board-certified plastic surgeon who completed his residency at the world-renowned Mayo Clinic. Combining this rigorous medical background with his lifelong training as a fine artist, Dr. Mo approaches facial aesthetics with a master’s eye for facial harmony, vertical volume restoration, and invisible incisional placement.

The Patient Experience: Step-by-Step

The journey to a naturally refreshed appearance is designed to be smooth, clear, and reassuring.

 

1.Mapping & Local Numbing:Day of Surgery.

Dr. Mo meticulously marks the vectors of your face to align with your natural bone structure. A specialized local numbing fluid is gently introduced under the skin, making the forehead and midface completely numb within minutes.

2.Endoscopic Camera Guidance & Lifting:1.5 - 2.5 Hours.

Using a high-definition endoscope, Dr. Mo gently separates and lifts the deep tissues of the cheeks and brows. The structures are securely anchored vertically, smoothing out the midface without altering your natural expressions.

3.Walk-Out Discharge:Immediate Post-Op.

Once the microscopic incisions are closed, a supportive, soft wrap is applied. Because no general anesthesia was used, you are clear-headed, able to stand up comfortably, and can immediately head home with your driver.

 

Hyperbaric Oxygen Support for Rapid Recovery

Endoscopic facelifts naturally result in less bruising and swelling than old-fashioned skin-only lifts because large areas of skin are not separated from their blood supply. To expedite your healing even further, FacePLUS+ provides Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) on-site.

Spending time in our private 2 ATA hyperbaric chamber immediately after surgery saturates your facial tissues with high-concentration oxygen. This cutting-edge recovery protocol cuts downtime in half, quickly dispels post-surgical swelling, and optimizes tissue health for pristine scar healing.

Are You an Ideal Candidate?

The Awake Endoscopic Facelift is ideal for patients throughout Lubbock and the surrounding West Texas regions who experience:

• Sagging or hollow cheeks and early jowl formation.

• Deep nasolabial folds (smile lines) and down-turned corners of the mouth.

• Drooping brows that create a tired or heavy appearance.

• Minimal excess skin but significant deep tissue deflation and sagging.

• A strong preference to avoid going fully to sleep under general anesthesia and a desire for zero visible scars.
