The Endotine Brow Lift, Will Tacks Protrude from Scalp Causing Severe Pain and Infection? (photo)

July 2, 2013
Asked By:george holland in Dothan, AL

I have small tacks protruding from scalp with large lumps surrounding it. I have redness, hair loss, severe pain./with little rest. I am tortured around the clock. Is there any help from me. I've returned to surgeon that did the procedure several times with no results. My face is also swollen on one side with tacks under skin and very sore to touch. I had surgery 10 yrs ago and have spent alot of money trying to find an answer for my severe pain. Is there any help for me, I can't live like this.
