title: Endoscopic facial surgery.
abstract: Endoscopy is a surgical technique involving the use of an endoscope, an instrument with a tiny camera inserted through very small incisions designed to project images of the body's internal structures onto a video monitor. In aesthetic surgery, endoscopic technology is a solution to the scarring problems that have long frustrated patients and surgeons alike.
