Aging Face
Browlift (Endotine)
With age, eyebrows sag. This is often accompanied by deep horizontal creases across the forehead and/or frown lines between the eyebrows. This results in a tired or sad appearance.
Browlift, nowadays performed endoscopically, corrects this problem. During this procedure, the skin and soft tissue of the upper face is elevated and fixed in a new, youthful position. The Endotine device is a new technology that uses 5 "tines", instead of sutures, to fix the forehead tissue in its new position. The Endotine device is made of absorbable material found in sutures, and gradually disappears over a few months. By that time the forehead tissues would have already reattached to the bone in the new position.
For certain patients with mild to moderate drooping of the brow who do not wish to undergo full browlift, a "transbleph" browlift can be performed through a incision in the upper eyelids.
Recovery Time: 1-2 weeks
Facelift (Endotine)
Midface lift
The midface is the area between the lower eyelids and the mouth. The soft tissues in the region tend to descend with age, resulting in flat or saggy cheeks as well as hollowing over the lower eyelids.
Midface lift aims to restore the fullness of the cheeks and hence the natural curves. This is achieved by lifting the descended midface/cheek soft tissues back to their original, youthful position. The Endotine device is a new technology that uses 5 "tines", instead of sutures, to fix the cheek tissue in its new position. As tension is distributed evenly, the device reduces skin irregularities and dimpling that can occur with traditional sutures. Its insertion is simple and fast compared to traditional methods, and has a shorter downtime. The Endotine device is made of absorbable material found in sutures, and gradually disappears over a few months. By that time the midface tissues would have already reattached to the bone in the new position. |
Recovery Time: 1-2 weeks
Lower Face Rejuvenation (Endotine Ribbon)
The Endotine Ribbon can effectively rejuvenate the lower face in a quick and easy manner by means of a neck or/and jowl lift. Like the Endotine device, the Endotine Ribbon is also absorbable, leaving no trace after a few months.
Recovery Time: 1-2 weeks
