Overview
Endotine forehead operations, when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, produce natural results that can endure for years, not just months.
Endotine forehead operations have been documented using a variety of approaches. When compared to the coronal technique, small-incision endoscopic brow lift treatments are often preferred due to the lack of facial scarring, quicker wound healing, and less concerns with postoperative alopecia or sensory loss.
The Endotine forehead device (Coapt Systems, Palo Alto, CA, USA) is a recently invented bioabsorbable device that was authorized by the US Food and Drug Administration in March 2002 for use in brow and forehead lift surgery. It was created to give a balanced distribution of strain in order to avoid tissue deformation, which can lead to fixation failure and forehead redescence.
When compared to single-point fixation, its design is designed to lessen stress on the incision, hence minimizing damage to surrounding hair follicles and maximizing fixing strength. One year after fixing, the gadget is totally absorbed.
