I want to remove the screws (of Endotine) after 1 and a half years. Is it available and difficult?

sweetbirdofyouth
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.
