Enhancing Long-Lasting Results with Endoscopic Forehead Endotine Lifting

Hello.

I am Dr. Choi Jun-ho from Mutoel Plastic Surgery.

Mutoel operates a collaborative care system involving board-certified plastic surgeons, as well as dermatology and pathology specialists, and has established a safe and systematic medical care process.

We honestly recommend customized procedures and surgeries optimized for each individual’s facial shape and skin condition.

From the moment you begin your initial consultation through treatment, surgery, and postoperative care, we promise a comfortable medical environment based on trust throughout every step of the process.

Rather than prioritizing the clinic’s interests, we will present an honest approach that provides practical help to our patients.

Everyone experiences the natural aging process as they grow older.

In particular, as aging progresses in the upper face, the forehead and eyebrow lines begin to droop, causing various changes in one’s appearance.

Sagging skin can make the eyes look smaller and create a consistently tired-looking impression, which can become a significant source of stress in daily life.

When trying to lift drooping eyelids, people may unconsciously use their forehead muscles, which can eventually cause wrinkles to form on the forehead.

Traditionally, conventional forehead lifting surgery has been used to address aging in the upper face.

The older method, which involved removing a band-shaped section of the scalp, had the advantage of providing clear lifting effects. However, because it required a wide area of incision and dissection, it also placed a considerable physical burden on the body.

In fact, many people hesitated to make a decision because of the long scar and slow recovery, as well as concerns about reduced scalp sensation and hair loss.

‘Endoscopic Forehead Endotine Lifting Surgery,’ which addresses the shortcomings of these conventional procedures, has emerged as an excellent alternative.

‘Endotine,’ Going Beyond the Limitations of Traditional Lifting

‘Endotine’ is a fixation device that biodegrades within the body and is safely absorbed.

It consists of a small plate with multiple fine projections and is used to firmly secure tissue.

During surgery, the area between the forehead skin and scalp is precisely dissected using an endoscope. The drooping tissue is then lifted upward, and the projections of the device are actively used to hook and secure it safely.

Endotine is secured to the bone and periosteal tissue. Over time, the material itself dissolves, is gradually absorbed by the body, and disappears.

Natural adhesion and fibrosis actively occur in the area where it is absorbed, maintaining semipermanent fixation.

Unlike older methods that lifted tissue using sutures, it exerts immediate and strong force through mechanical engagement with multiple projections.

In addition to providing excellent initial stability, adherent tissue subsequently helps maintain the shape, allowing the results to last over the long term without a foreign-body sensation.

When Is It Effective?

It is highly effective for people whose entire forehead has severe skin sagging and who require extensive tissue removal and lifting.

It is particularly suitable as a customized surgical method for people whose moderate skin sagging causes the tails of the eyebrows to droop, resulting in a heavier-looking appearance.

It is also recommended for people with relatively little excess skin, those who do not want a long incision scar, and those who wish to significantly reduce the burden of the postoperative recovery period.

For patients from their mid-30s to early 60s who want overall facial lifting but feel considerable fear about lifting surgery, endoscopic forehead Endotine lifting surgery has been widely preferred.

The Quality of the Surgery Is Determined by the ‘Design’

An experienced board-certified plastic surgeon carefully analyzes the patient’s bone structure and skin sagging to create the most ideal design.

These differences in design create noticeable distinctions in the final results.

The surgery is performed under sedation anesthesia. Approximately four small scalp incisions are made inside the hairline and in both temple areas, after which a high-resolution medical endoscope is inserted.

During endoscopic forehead Endotine lifting, the internal tissues can be magnified on a monitor, allowing the surgeon to carefully inspect the pathways of numerous blood vessels and nerves directly. This makes it possible to minimize tissue damage and safely lift only the areas that have sagged.

The lifted skin and fascial tissue are hooked onto the plate projections attached to the periosteum and secured in a firmly lifted position. The incision sites are then meticulously sutured.

The surgery is generally completed within one hour.

At Mutoel, the patient’s blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation, and other data are thoroughly monitored in real time during anesthesia.

Surgical Method for Endoscopic Forehead Lifting with Endotine

In Closing..

The primary reason this surgery has attracted attention is that it demonstrates a clear lifting effect immediately after surgery due to its immediate fixation strength.

Because the incision area is very limited, the risks of bruising, swelling, and reduced sensation are substantially reduced, and recovery is rapid.

Because the material is absorbed over time, the risk of various complications caused by permanent foreign materials is also lower.

However, endoscopic forehead Endotine lifting is not necessarily a perfect method for everyone. Each person’s anatomical characteristics and expectations regarding the results should be carefully discussed with the medical staff.

The most important key to achieving satisfactory results is not the equipment or material itself.

It depends on the precise skills of the medical staff, who deeply understand facial balance and can perform meticulous dissection and fixation.

For endoscopic forehead Endotine lifting, Mutoel strictly implements a named-surgeon system, without concern about surgery being performed by someone other than the designated surgeon.

If you are concerned about drooping eyebrows or a sagging forehead, please feel free to visit us at any time.

We will sincerely consider your concerns from the patient’s perspective and do our best to repay your trust with the best possible results.
