Endotine implant removed; in (b)(6) 2020, i had a left endoscopic brow lift procedure.The procedure went well.Within a few weeks, i felt like i had movement around the surgical site.My physician¿s office indicated the endotines had come up from their implanted position, which sometimes occurred, but that they would dissolve.In (b)(6), the endotines were not dissolved, and i met with my physician¿s office again, at this time, we determined that they needed to be removed, and an appointment was scheduled.On (b)(6) 2021 the largest pieces of endotine, which had broken apart and were imbedded in scar tissue were removed.The two following days, my face and neck have been extremely swollen, and there has been discharge from the incision site.There is also a very tender spot in my neck which feels very similar to the endotines which were in my scalp.The swelling in my face has radiated to the right side of my face, back to my ear and neck.My physician is highly skilled, and i believe this is a failed endotine.Fda safety report id # (b)(4).
