I had an endoscopic brow lift 11 months ago. I was told that the endotines used would start to dissolve around 4 months & take about 7 months to finally disappear. I still have two very visible lumps on my forehead (really noticeable when I pull my hair back into a ponytail). The lumps are also very hard, like rocks. Is this normal this far out?

I would recommend an upper eyelid blepharoplasty and ptosis repair alone. I think that your brow is in an adequate or near adequate position. I would recommend obtaining visual field testing to ensure that you truly have ptosis of the levator complex that lifts and opens the eye.
