How it is done
After an incision inside the hairline or behind the ear and dissection, the Endotine device is inserted, pulled in the desired direction and fixed. The clinic explains that its five-prong structure supports the tissue, and that Endotine Forehead (forehead, brows, eye area), Endotine Midface (cheeks, e.g. sagging cheeks following cheekbone reduction) and Endotine Ribbon (lower face, e.g. sagging following square-jaw or double-jaw surgery) are used depending on the area.
