Hello, I did the Endotine to lift my cheekbone in Seoul 1 and a half year ago, from then on, I have been getting a migraine. Also, I can feel the lump on the left side, below my cheekbone. The doctor told me that Endotine would be dissolved in a half year. Now I wonder the lump is the screws of Endotine and course my headaches. Is it too difficult to remove the screws or mental plants after 1 and a half year of surgery. Many thanks to your answers.
Answer: Pain related to Endotine? The symptoms you are experiencing are not likely related to the presence of an Endotine device at this point. The device should have been completely absorbed by now. Scar tissue may have formed in the area of the device as the area healed and can be causing symptoms. If a "metal" screw was placed, it was not a part of an Endotine device. You should get a copy of your operative note to know exactly what was done and consult a board certified plastic surgeon familiar with the use of Endotines

Answer: Status post insertion Endotines Endotines are absorbable devices which should no longer be there. The lump you feel is likely some residual scar tissue from your procedure. Obtain a consultation from a board certified plastic surgeon. Bring them a copy of your surgeon's operative note as well as the pictures of what you looked like before surgery.
