Unfavorable Side Effects with Ultratine Endo Brow. What's Your Opinion?
November 4, 2011
Asked By:
My plastic surgeon uses Ultratine for endo brow lift. I've read some bad reviews with this product and makes me uneasy about the possible side effects. Little horns poking thru the scalp and pain, itching even after 8-12 mos. I mostly have droopy brow on outside ends of brow & I know I need an upper bleph. Should I just have the bleph, even though surgeon recommends endo brow? Any other techniques for endo brow with less complications?

At least 2 to 3 weeks before surgery and continue 2 to 3 weeks after surgery is about the standard guidline to stop smoking before most surgical procedures. This will ensure a much easier and better post op healing.
This is not an uncommon usually temporary issue after browlift, and almost always the nerve will regain its function. And no, Botox will not help with regaining of the nerve function.
I have tried many techniques of minimally invasive brow suspension and in my humble opinion they don't work any better (and at time not as good as) Botox injections and they don't last any longer than Botox injections.
