Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE), invented by W. L. Gore in the late 1960s, has become a popular material in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. The use of e-PTFE sheets in the temporal region is reported by some authors and achieving good results. Endoscopic techniques, characterized by small incisions, slight injury, and fewer complications, can be applied in many fields. With the assistance of an endoscope, temporal augmentation with e-PTFE is performed under direct sight, and complications can be reduced. This study aimed to investigate endoscopically assisted temporal augmentation using e-PTFE.
