An endoscope is an optical instrument composed of a cold light source lens, fiber optic cable, image transmission system, and screen display system. It expands the surgical field of view. A key advantage of using an endoscope is the smaller surgical incision, less noticeable scarring, milder postoperative reactions, significantly reduced bleeding, bruising, and swelling time, and faster recovery compared to traditional surgery, perfectly meeting the aesthetic and scarless requirements of cosmetic surgery.
Since the widespread application of endoscopic technology in cosmetic surgery, plastic surgeons have been greatly enhanced, and cosmetic surgery techniques have reached unprecedented heights. Endoscopic technology's involvement in cosmetic surgery began in the mid-1990s, and its numerous advantages led to its widespread popularity in Europe and America. In recent years, a few hospitals in China have also begun to perform endoscopic-guided surgeries. Its rapid development is entirely due to its obvious advantages: with the assistance of an endoscope and specialized surgical instruments, surgeries that traditionally required large incisions can be completed with only tiny wounds. This not only reduces surgical trauma but also increases surgical precision and safety, thereby greatly improving patient acceptance.
