�0b As aging causes the forehead and eyebrows to droop, making the eyes appear smaller or the expression look stern, it can be hard not to notice every time you look in the mirror.

�0b The traditional forehead lift, often used to address this, had clear results, but because the incision area was large and the recovery period was long, it was not an easy choice for patients to make.

�0b The Endotine endoscopic forehead lift introduced here can be a solution that overcomes the drawbacks above.

�0b Endotine is an absorbable scalp fixation device, a tool that lifts the forehead and eyebrows through relatively small incisions and securely fixes them in their new position.

�0b Today, we will explain the principles of Endotine forehead lift, its procedure and recovery period, pros and cons, and expectations, one by one in detail.

�0b What is an Endotine forehead lift?

�0b Endotine is a biocompatible absorbable fixation device in the form of a small plate with several "teeth" (or pins) attached.

�0b During surgery, four scalp incisions are made near the hairline, the forehead tissue is dissected through the full thickness, and the periosteum around the eyebrows and the muscles that pull the eyebrows downward are separated. Then the eyebrows and forehead tissue are pulled upward. After that, the Endotine is firmly attached first to the skull bone at the desired fixation position, and then the soft tissue is hooked onto the teeth of the Endotine to lift it, and the four scalp incisions are closed.

�0b The plate is firmly fixed to the skull bone beneath the periosteum through drilling, and over time the material is slowly absorbed by the body, while fibrosis (adhesion) forms in the area, creating permanent fixation.

�0b Compared with the method of securing with sutures, the multiple pins attached to Endotine mechanically hold the scalp tissue, so immediate fixation strength and stability are excellent, and even after absorption, natural adhesion forms, making it a highly durable option.

�0b Who is this recommended for?

�0b This surgery is a good option even for those who need a wide lift because the entire forehead tissue has sagged, but it is especially suitable for those whose eyebrows themselves have drooped to a moderate degree or more, so that they have to use their forehead muscles for their eyes to open wider.

�0b It is also recommended for those who do not want large incisions or want to reduce the burden of recovery time.

�0b Forehead lift surgery is closely related to upper eyelid sagging, so it is widely chosen by patients in their mid-30s to 60s who are more concerned about sagging of the upper eyelids themselves than about overall facial sagging.

�0b How is the surgery performed?

�0b Before the procedure, a careful one-on-one consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is conducted to create a lifting design optimized for each individual face.

�0b The forehead lift is performed under sedation anesthesia. Four scalp incisions are made: two inside the hairline and two at the temples on both sides. The forehead is dissected beneath the periosteum, and the temporal area is dissected above the deep temporal fascia.

�0b After separating the periosteum and connective tissue around the eyebrows, it is important not to damage blood vessels or nerves while weakening the muscles that pull the eyebrows downward, so the procedure is carried out while directly monitoring the tissue with an endoscope and controlling bleeding.

�0b After sufficient dissection of the forehead and temporal region, the Endotine plates are fixed by directly drilling into the skull bone near the two hairline incisions.

�0b Several teeth of the fixed Endotine are exposed upward, and when the entire dissected tissue from the forehead to the eyebrows is lifted and firmly hooked onto the teeth, the forehead tissue lifting is complete. The scalp incisions are closed with staples after minimal hemostasis. The surgery time is not long, as Endotine forehead lift alone is completed within 1 hour.

�0b However, given the nature of surgery performed under sedation anesthesia, patients are likely to feel considerable anxiety.

�0b At Mutel, we monitor the sedation anesthesia state in real time and closely check important vital signs such as blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen saturation, so you can proceed with the surgery with peace of mind.

�0b What are the advantages?

�0b Through the Endotine forehead lift, the forehead wrinkles are smoothed immediately and the eyebrows are raised, creating a clearer, more open eye area.

�0b Compared with traditional lift surgery, the incisions are smaller and tissue exposure to the outside is limited, so postoperative bruising, swelling, and decreased sensation are significantly reduced, and recovery is faster. This can be said to be the biggest advantage and appeal of the Endotine forehead lift.

�0b In addition, because the Endotine plate itself is a biocompatible absorbable material, it is gradually absorbed over the course of 1 year after surgery, which fundamentally reduces the risk of complications caused by permanent foreign bodies.

�0b Lastly, Endotine has distinctive long-term stability. Unlike fixation with sutures, it does not loosen over time, and because the multiple teeth securely hold the tissue, the initial lifting effect is stably maintained in the mid- to long term.

�0b In closing...

�0b The Endotine forehead lift is a good option for those who find large incisions burdensome but want to improve both the forehead and eyebrow line, while also providing an immediate lifting effect and fast recovery.

�0b It has a variety of advantages, including immediate fixation strength, a relatively short recovery period, the benefits of absorbable material, and stable long-term maintenance, but it is not a "universal surgery" that can be applied to every case.

�0b For a successful forehead lift, it is important to have a specialist's insight and technical precision in establishing and carrying out the optimal surgical plan based on each person's different facial anatomy and expectations for surgery.

�0b If you are concerned about a drooping forehead and eye area, please feel free to make a consultation appointment and visit Mutel at any time. We will think together from the client's perspective and repay you with the best possible results.
