A more refined approach to cosmetic surgery is possible with endoscopic techniques — designed to enhance results and minimize recovery time. At Naples Cosmetic Surgery Center, Dr. Andrew Turk uses advanced endoscopic technology to perform procedures with precision, smaller incisions, and less noticeable scarring.
If you’re considering plastic surgery, understanding what makes endoscopic surgery unique—and ensuring you choose a surgeon with the right expertise—can make all the difference in your outcome.
Why Choose Endoscopic Surgery?
Endoscopy allows surgeons to perform procedures using a thin, lighted camera called an endoscope. This technology gives Dr. Turk a clear view of the surgical area through very small incisions, which may result in:
- Less visible scarring
- Reduced trauma to surrounding tissues
- Shorter recovery times
Although endoscopic techniques are relatively new to plastic surgery, they have been used successfully in other medical fields for decades.
The Importance of Choosing the Right Surgeon
Selecting a surgeon is one of the most critical decisions you’ll make. You will live with your surgical results for years, so it’s essential to find someone with the training and experience to deliver excellent care.
Dr. Turk is a board-certified plastic surgeon who has extensive training in both endoscopic and traditional surgical techniques. This dual expertise is vital because, in rare cases, an endoscopic procedure may need to be converted to a traditional approach during surgery for your safety or to optimize results.
When researching surgeons, look for:
- Board certification in plastic surgery
- Training specific to endoscopic techniques
- Surgical privileges at an accredited hospital (an indication that their credentials and performance meet strict standards)

Understanding Risks and Considerations
As with any surgery, endoscopic procedures carry some potential risks. While uncommon, complications may include adverse reactions to anesthesia, infection, nerve or blood vessel injury, or fluid accumulation.
Following your surgeon’s pre- and post-operative instructions carefully can reduce your risk of complications and support a smooth recovery.
Is Endoscopic Surgery Right for You?
Not every patient is a candidate for endoscopic surgery. Your candidacy depends on factors like skin elasticity, desired results, and the complexity of the procedure. In some cases, Dr. Turk may recommend a traditional approach or a combination of both techniques to achieve the best outcome.
A consultation with Dr. Turk is the best way to determine which method aligns with your goals and anatomy.

What is endoscopic surgery and how does it differ from traditional cosmetic surgery?
Endoscopic surgery uses a small camera and specialized instruments to perform procedures through minimal incisions. Traditional methods involve larger incisions for direct visualization. Endoscopic techniques reduce visible scarring and may lead to a faster recovery.
What types of cosmetic procedures can be performed using an endoscope?
Endoscopic techniques are commonly used for facial surgeries such as brow lifts, cheek lifts, and some neck procedures. These methods are best for those needing tissue repositioning without significant skin removal.
Are the scars from endoscopic surgery smaller than traditional methods?
Yes, endoscopic procedures typically result in smaller, less noticeable scars because incisions are often hidden within the hairline or natural creases.
How do I know if I’m a good candidate for endoscopic plastic surgery?
You may be a candidate if you have mild to moderate sagging, good skin elasticity, and realistic expectations. Dr. Turk can assess your suitability during a consultation.
Can complications during endoscopy require switching to a traditional approach?
In rare cases, yes. If complications arise or more access is needed, Dr. Turk is fully trained to transition to a traditional technique safely.
