How long does it take for absorbable screws to dissolve after an endoscopic brow lift?

Hello yvettecollinsI would advice you visit or contact your plastic surgeon for all post-op concerns.

Thank you for your question. I suggest that you move forward and consult with your board certified facial plastic surgeon to discuss details of your surgery that are pertinent to your healing experience.
Best wishes,

The absorbable screws used today are of polylactic acid composition.  They are strong for about three months then they begin to weaken and will decompose in one year.  This holds true if they are Endotines as well.

 In our practice, the majority of brow lift procedures are performed with a coronal approach which gives a much better control of the amount of eyebrow elevation, much better control of eyebrow asymmetry, allows for a better softening of both the frontalis muscles and corrugator muscles. In addition, the hairline will be elevated with a endoscopic lift and facia grafts can be inserted between the eyebrows when there's dermal atrophy in that area.. The coronal brow lift  can raise or lower the hairline depending upon patient's desires. Removal of skin and anchoring it with permanent  sutures is a much better technique then the endoscopic approach which shifts skin and hold it in place with dissolvable screws. For many examples of coronal eyebrow lift, please see the link and the video below

The rate of absorption of screws after an endoscopic brow lift depends on what was used. Your surgeon is the best person to answer your question.
