Top Surgeon Explains Endoscopic Cosmetic Procedures' Common Risks & Benefits

by PRC Agency PR

Medical science is always advancing, but just because something is new doesn't mean it's the best choice.

Dr. Harvey "Chip" Cole explains how endoscopy is used in cosmetic procedures, how it affects your risks and outcomes, and how to find a surgeon experienced in these new techniques.

Surgical procedures completed using endoscopic techniques are known to leave fewer noticeable scars, making them a popular choice for many patients. However, they are not without risk, as explained by Dr. Cole in his new awareness campaign.

The awareness campaign explains that endoscopy is not new, and has been used for decades in other fields, including gynecology, urology, and orthopedics. Using these techniques is relatively new to cosmetic procedures though, and Dr. Cole explains how it allows surgeons to make smaller, less obvious incisions to get a view of the procedure from inside the body.

Like any surgery, the risk of complications depends on many factors, including the experience of the surgeon. With endoscopic procedures being fairly new to cosmetic surgeons, Dr. Cole recommends that you ensure your chosen surgeon has spent at least several years perfecting these techniques and has completed numerous successful operations.

The risks examined in the campaign vary based on the type of cosmetic procedure, though the majority are considered minor and can be resolved without requiring a second operation. To determine if endoscopic procedures are suited to you, Dr. Cole explains a surgeon will first have to discuss your specific procedure, desired results, and physical condition.

Recent studies have shown that endoscopic procedures completed by an experienced professional often have fewer complications because the surgeon has improved awareness of the patient’s anatomy throughout the procedure. The campaign explains that with the newest endoscopic techniques you can often reduce your recovery times, but will still be required to complete follow-up appointments to determine your progress and how you can achieve the best possible results.

Dr. Cole has completed over 33,000 procedures and has over 33 years of experience as a cosmetic reconstruction and rejuvenation specialist. He has become known as “The Eye Guy,” at his national and international educational lectures, for his extensive knowledge of oculoplastic and cosmetic surgery.

There are many things to consider before electing to have cosmetic surgery, and knowing your options can help you to make choices that will result in reduced recovery times, less scarring, and better results.
