Abstract

The use of endoscopic video-assisted technique in facial rejuvenation is one of the most recent advances in aesthetic plastic surgery of the face. It replaces the bicoronal incision without the necessity of skin resection. The idea is to detach the muscles from the periorbital attachment, forcing the occipital muscle to pull the forehead tissue back and thus elevating the eyebrows. Therefore, we developed a flexible fiber endoscope that allows the surgeon to guide flexible instruments through its working channel. The endoscope is introduced through a 1-cm midscalp incision so that it can be used to expose and treat soft tissue regions in the forehead, the midface, and the neck.
