What are Endoscopic Aesthetic Surgeries?
Endoscopic plastic surgeries are surgical procedures in which a special medical device called an endoscope is used to perform the procedures. Endoscopes are devices shaped like a thin, flexible tube. They have a camera at their ends. This camera is inserted through a very small incision on the skin, allowing the surgeon to view the inside of the body and deeper tissues under the skin.
Endoscopic plastic surgeries require smaller incisions compared to traditional surgical methods. In these procedures, which are also described as “minimally invasive”, small incisions are made on the skin and these are hidden in invisible places such as inside the hair. Therefore, it has advantages such as less tissue damage, faster healing process and less scarring. Endoscopic methods can be used in different types of plastic surgery.
What are the Types of Endoscopic Aesthetic Surgery?
- Endoscopic Face Lift: In this procedure, signs of aging on the face are corrected using an endoscope. The endoscope reaches under the skin through small incisions and sagging facial tissues are corrected. As a result, the face becomes younger and fresher. This surgery is less invasive and has a lower risk of scarring than traditional facelift procedures.
- Endoscopic Breast Aesthetics: Endoscopic techniques can also be used for breast augmentation or reduction. During surgery, breast tissue is shaped using an endoscope or implants are placed. This is an option for people who want to change their breast size or shape.
- Endoscopic Abdominoplasty: Endoscopic abdominoplasty is used to remove excess fat and skin tissue in the abdominal area and tighten the abdominal muscles. This procedure is especially preferred to correct partially sagging abdominal skin after birth. The endoscopic approach requires smaller incisions and can speed up the healing process.
- Endoscopic Forehead Lift: Endoscopic forehead lift is used to correct wrinkles and sagging in the forehead area. With small incisions, the forehead skin is tightened and facial features gain a more youthful appearance.
- Brow Lift: Eyebrow lift surgery is used in cases where eyebrows are low or drooping. This procedure, performed using an endoscope, lifts the eyebrows and makes the eyes look younger and livelier.
- Endoskopik Almond Eye (Chantopexy): Almond eye aesthetics is also known as fox eye or cat eye. Endoscopic almond eye aesthetics is performed to give a younger look and a more attractive appearance to the eyes. Unlike traditional almond eye aesthetics, there is no scar on the skin around the eyes.
- Endoscopic Temporal Lift: Endoscopic temporal lift surgery is performed to correct signs of aging in the forehead and temple areas. The endoscope is used to reach under the skin through small incisions and the tissues in these areas are tightened. As a result, the forehead and temples gain a younger and fresher appearance. This surgery can also be performed as part of a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation surgery, combined with almond eye and brow lift procedures.

Reasons Why Endoscopic Aesthetic Surgeries Are Preferred
- Endoscopic plastic surgeries offer a minimally invasive approach. Since it is performed using smaller or hidden incisions, tissue trauma is less. This allows patients to recover faster and experience less pain after surgery.
- Thanks to the small incisions, endoscopic surgeries tend to leave less visible scars. This allows patients to achieve better aesthetic results in the postoperative period.
- The minimally invasive approach allows patients to return to daily activities more quickly. Less tissue trauma and smaller incisions speed up the healing process.
- Endoscopic surgery results in less postoperative pain and discomfort due to less tissue trauma.
- Endoscopic surgeries lead to less bruising and edema due to less trauma and tissue damage. This helps patients have a more comfortable post-operative period.
- In endoscopic surgical procedures, there is less risk of bleeding and tissue damage during surgery, as it is performed through smaller incisions and allows the surgeon to proceed directly with the help of a camera.
- Endoscopic plastic surgeries allow patients to see rapid results. Shorter recovery times and a minimally invasive approach allow results to be noticed earlier.
- Endoscopic plastic surgeries carry less risk of complications compared to traditional surgery due to less tissue trauma. Infection, tissue damage, and other potential complications may be less likely.
What are the Risks of Endoscopic Aesthetic Surgeries?
Endoscopic plastic surgeries have some risks. Since these procedures usually require general anesthesia, there may be anesthesia-related complications and it is important to pay attention to the anesthesiologist’s guidance and instructions given. Additionally, endoscopic surgical procedures, although rare, can lead to complications such as infection, bleeding, tissue damage, and problems with the healing process. Although they are minimally invasive, incisions or entry points made during surgery may leave scars, and the prominence of scars may vary depending on the patient’s skin structure and type of surgery. Therefore, it is important to consider the risks and possible complications when deciding on endoscopic plastic surgery.
