Is it possible my body is rejecting the endotine fasteners used during my Browlift?

Thank you.The endotine anchors do dissolve by inflammation and it is possible to have some tenderness over where they are.The scalp also has mutiple sensory nerves that can get affected in a forehead lift.Usually, those issues are temporary.  But should this be significant enough, and it seems to be as per your description, the anchors can be removed easily with small incisions.Let us know if this information was useful.

The endotine device will dissolve, but this can take a while. In cases where there are wound complications or significant discomfort, it can be removed with a small incision. For patients with a relatively thin scalp, this may be more common.

The endotine will often cause some discomfort when you touch it.  This is especially true in certain cases where the endotine must be very close to or touching the supraorbital nerve which runs from the eyebrow up over the top of the head.  It will dissolve at which time the pain will subside.  If it's really bad it can be removed with an incision over the implant.
