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.

It is not unusual for very small screws to be used to help suspend the facial tissues. The screws are used as an anchor for the sutures that hold up the tissues. If the screws are symptomatic, they can be removed.
Just to be clear, a mini-facelift only addresses the jawline, the jowls, and the marionette lines. A mini-facelift does not address the neck, nasolabial or melolabial folds, eyes, or forehead. The fees for a mini-facelift are usually based on time. Some mini-facelifts require more time and cost...
Dear Alexis, You don't have a true sagging skin but rather an inadequate volume at the mid cheeks, nasolabial folds and below corners of the mouth. If you are looking for a long lasting result I would go for fat or fat stem cell transfer or permanent filler.
