Endotine fixation posts should have dissolved

William Portuese, MD answers: Intense itching and lumps on scalp after Brow lift

I had a Brow lift three years ago and they inserted the endotine fixation post. I have had considerable misery since with frontal scalp intense ithching, lumps that come and go on my scalp, and itching on my forehead with raised bumps at times. Have you had any of these compaints?

At this time the Endotine fixation posts should have dissolved. Itching and lumps that come and go on the scalp could be related to stitch abscesses, the nerves re-growing, or any other sutures that were left underneath the scalp. We have not seen any of these issues other than occasional stitch abscesses in our practice.
