Have you been considering a cosmetic surgery procedure, but you’re concerned about scars? Endoscopic plastic surgery allows our experts to sculpt and mold your body to meet your aesthetic goals with minimal scarring or excess tissue damage.
How Does Endoscopic Plastic Surgery Work?
Endoscopic plastic surgery is a technique our surgeons use to view the inside of your body with minimal, small incisions. This means less stress on your body for faster healing and less scarring.
An endoscope is a specialized medical tool that features a small camera at the end of a long, rigid scope arm. It is traditionally used to examine parts of the gastrointestinal tract, but can also be used during certain cosmetic procedures such as breast augmentation, brow lift surgery, and even abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) surgery.
Using an endoscope during your cosmetic procedure minimizes the number and size of incisions your expert surgeon has to make to achieve your aesthetic goals. This minimally invasive alternative to more traditional approaches means less downtime, so you can get back to doing what you love.
What Procedures Are Endoscopes Used For?
If you’re considering any of the following cosmetic procedures, endoscopic plastic surgery may be an option for you:
Breast Augmentation: known as the ‘scarless’ breast lift, endoscopic breast augmentations allow your surgeon to strategically place the necessary incisions in discrete places for an unnoticeable look. With nearly invisible scars, your decision to get cosmetic surgery is no one’s business but your own.
Anti-aging Browlifts: turning back the hands of time is more seamless than ever with endoscopic anti-aging procedures. An endoscope allows your surgeon to be more precise and tailor your results to the unique structure of your face.
Body Contouring: the most common use of the endoscope is in body contouring procedures like abdominoplasty. Guided by the endoscopic camera, your surgeon can sculpt your figure precisely as desired with less trauma to the body.
What Are the Benefits of Endoscopic Plastic Surgery?
As we’ve outlined above, endoscopic plastic surgery is an advanced technique that requires minimal incisions. The benefits don’t stop at less visible scarring. They include:
- Faster healing with less complications
- Greater accuracy for targeting specific problem areas
- Shorter time under general anesthesia
- More natural-looking results

Is Endoscopic Plastic Surgery Safe?
Endoscopic plastic surgery is among the safest options for cosmetic surgery patients. As a less invasive alternative to traditional surgeries, there are fewer risks of complications during and after your procedure.
For patients who are concerned about going under general anesthesia, endoscopic plastic surgery could be an appealing option. Because these procedures are performed with the fewest incisions possible, patients spend less time asleep, so there is reduced risk.
After your surgery, you can expect to experience some discomfort, but less so than with more intensive procedures. For most people, pain can be managed with over-the-counter medications, or possibly a small amount of prescription painkillers. Because endoscopic plastic surgery results in a shorter recovery period, you won’t need to take these potentially hazardous opioid medications for a long period of time.
