Endotine common side effects

Endotines can have a number of side effects including pain, a persistent firm lump under skin, hair loss, and loosening and dislocation. In my opinion a bone tunnel is a safer and more effective method.

Avoiding pain from Endotines in brow lifts

Side effects of Endotine Implants

The most common issue with the Endotine implants is that they can be tender for the first few months after surgery. Most of my patients tell me this resolves in about 2 months, and they quickly learn how to avoid aggravating the area.

Much less commonly, the implant can slip causing a need to re-do the surgery.... more
