Hello, this is Woori Plastic Surgery.
Today, we will talk about the important fixation methods used in forehead lifting for people in their 20s, as well as the frequently mentioned Endotine material.
Why people undergo forehead lifting
Forehead lifting is a procedure chosen by people of various ages, from their 20s to their 60s. These days, more young people in their 20s are also seeking forehead lifting. When the eyebrows droop and make the eyes look heavy, or when forehead wrinkles and glabellar wrinkles are deep, or when the forehead and area around the eyes begin to sag with age, people undergo forehead lifting to pull the skin and tissue upward. At this time, the method used to firmly fix the tissue during forehead lifting is more important than anything else.
Fixation methods for forehead lifting
The materials used in forehead lifting in your 20s are mainly divided into bone tunneling and Endotine. The first fixation method to look at is bone tunneling. Bone tunneling is a method in which a small tunnel is drilled into the bone and the tissue is fixed with thread. It has the advantage of no foreign-body sensation at first and no material cost, which reduces the burden of the surgery fee, but the surgery time becomes longer and, in rare cases, side effects such as hair loss or thread exposure may occur.
Endotine is a special material developed in the United States that is fixed to the bone like an anchor pin and serves to hold the skin and tissue being pulled upward. At the beginning of the surgery, there may be a slight foreign-body sensation, but it is absorbed and disappears within six months, becoming natural. It has the advantages of no risk of thread exposure, strong fixation, and faster recovery.
What is Endotine?
It is the only product approved by the U.S. FDA and the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for use in forehead lifting. It stably fixes tissue for a certain period of time (3 to 6 months) and is then absorbed by the body. Genuine Endotine has sharp tips and is effective because it is absorbed evenly. When the procedure is performed at a clinic, you can receive a genuine Endotine card. In the case of imitation Endotine, absorption may be uneven and fixation strength may be weaker, so when choosing a clinic for forehead lifting, be sure to check whether genuine products are used and whether a genuine product card is issued.
Forehead lifting is not just about pulling the skin; how stably it is fixed is directly linked to the surgical result. If you are looking into forehead lifting in your 20s, the method may vary depending on the patient’s condition and desired results, so it is most important to decide after 충분히 consulting with a specialist.
