My mother went for a Endotine Ribbon cheek and neck lift a month ago due to sagging skin. But her neck and cheeks are starting to sag again and she's worried. The ribbons are also very noticeable now, and she has rugged skin under her neck. Is there any chance that she will stay with those signs permanently?

Answer: Endotines are resorbable The bad news is that the endotines are resorbable and don't maintain the result. Furthermore, they typically require minimal surgery, which does little to really rearrange the tissues and create a dramatic effect. The good news is that the endotines resorb, leaving little permanent effects. This means that it can be repeated and since little rearranging was performed, a true face lift correcting the neck and face can be carried out. That is also bad news because I am sure that is not what you wanted to hear.

Answer: Unfortunately, the result she has will probably get worse Whether they call them minilifts, week-end facelifts, wire lifts, etc. the end result is the same in patients who need a conventional facelift. Minilift = mini-result! You have to remove the extra skin and tighten the deeper tissue to get a good result. She can have a full facelift at about 9-12 months later.
