Downsides of Endoscopic Plastic Surgery

Inserting a camera into your body is a tricky process--just ask any TV or movie secret agent. James Bond and Sydney Bristow usually worry too much about bombs and conspiracies to be concerned about plastic surgery side effects. The endoscopic brow lift, endoscopic abdominoplasty, endoscopic rhinoplasty and endoscopic face lift are relatively new procedures, with chances of:

• Infection
• Fluid accumulation beneath the skin
• Blood vessel damage
• Nerve damage or loss of feeling
• Internal perforation injury
• Skin injury

All of these are familiar surgeon warnings to anyone who has researched or had plastic surgery. Make sure that your plastic surgeon has performed endoscopic cosmetic surgery for at least two years. Also, it's worth noting that nerve damage, blood loss, scarring and blood vessel damage are reduced in endoscopy. At least you have one less thing to worry about when you're scaling a mountain in a tuxedo or catsuit.
