Abstract
The use of endoscopic techniques in orthopedic, gynecological, and general surgery has had a significant effect on the traditional techniques in those specialties. The introduction of those techniques to plastic surgery, particularly to aesthetic surgery, has been very slow. However, recent interest in using endoscopic techniques in forehead plasty, corrugator—procerus resection, and breast augmentation has opened up countless possibilities in these and other areas of aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.
