0 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.975 Thank You Plastic Surgery 1 00:00:02.975 --> 00:00:04.375 If they are saying that they used 2 00:00:04.375 --> 00:00:05.275 the authentic products when they didn't... 3 00:00:05.275 --> 00:00:06.525 Obviously, 4 00:00:06.525 --> 00:00:07.175 it is a fraud! 5 00:00:10.225 --> 00:00:12.725 Thank You Plastic Surgery 6 00:00:12.725 --> 00:00:15.525 Hello, I'm Dr. Choi Yo-an Choi from Thank You Plastic Surgery 7 00:00:15.525 --> 00:00:17.675 Today, I am going to talk about 8 00:00:17.675 --> 00:00:18.925 forehead lifts 9 00:00:18.925 --> 00:00:20.974 When you think of forehead lifts in the past, 10 00:00:20.974 --> 00:00:24.324 You thought you'd peel a huge part of the skin off 11 00:00:24.324 --> 00:00:27.074 With large incisions causing large scarring 12 00:00:27.074 --> 00:00:28.274 and it was really expensive 13 00:00:28.274 --> 00:00:30.774 However recently, endoscopes have been developed 14 00:00:30.774 --> 00:00:34.024 and we make only three to five small incisions 15 00:00:34.024 --> 00:00:35.874 Use the endoscope to dissect 16 00:00:35.874 --> 00:00:38.024 And after, the skin is pulled in position 17 00:00:38.024 --> 00:00:40.824 The surgery itself is theoretically simple 18 00:00:40.824 --> 00:00:42.024 Because the skin is saggy and drooping down 19 00:00:42.024 --> 00:00:45.274 It's procedure where we lift it the opposite way 20 00:00:45.274 --> 00:00:47.024 What we'll be talking about today.. 21 00:00:47.024 --> 00:00:49.824 Issues with the Endotine imitation products 22 00:00:49.824 --> 00:00:52.724 There was a controversy with how some would describe the imitation products 23 00:00:52.724 --> 00:00:54.124 as the original Endotine products 24 00:00:54.124 --> 00:00:56.474 We have also been getting a lot of inquiries lately because of it 25 00:00:56.474 --> 00:00:58.173 And gotten a lot of questions from patients 26 00:00:58.173 --> 00:01:01.323 If we are using authentic Endotine products 27 00:01:01.323 --> 00:01:02.973 What is Endotine? 28 00:01:02.973 --> 00:01:05.023 It is a product that is FDA-approved in the U.S 29 00:01:05.023 --> 00:01:06.623 This is it 30 00:01:06.623 --> 00:01:08.773 If you look, there are five bumps here 31 00:01:08.773 --> 00:01:11.473 You drill holes in the bone to make a place for this to go in 32 00:01:11.473 --> 00:01:14.023 And once we place this inside the hole 33 00:01:14.023 --> 00:01:18.173 make the serrations get onto the tissue, 34 00:01:18.173 --> 00:01:19.823 and keep it in position 35 00:01:19.823 --> 00:01:21.473 (Endotine VS Similar Products) Compared to other products 36 00:01:21.473 --> 00:01:23.423 The looks and functions the same 37 00:01:23.423 --> 00:01:25.773 And the materials are the same as well 38 00:01:25.773 --> 00:01:28.373 But the difference was 39 00:01:28.373 --> 00:01:30.673 As far as anchoring to the bone, it is the same 40 00:01:30.673 --> 00:01:34.273 But when pulling the tissue for fixation, 41 00:01:34.273 --> 00:01:35.522 when you look at other company products, 42 00:01:35.522 --> 00:01:39.472 the tip is a bit dull 43 00:01:39.472 --> 00:01:40.972 So the disadvantage of this is that 44 00:01:40.972 --> 00:01:43.272 The anchoring is weak (compared to Endotine) 45 00:01:43.272 --> 00:01:46.172 And after you anchor it, it is called locking, 46 00:01:46.172 --> 00:01:48.172 because the strength is a bit weak, 47 00:01:48.172 --> 00:01:50.172 the holding power is weak as well 48 00:01:50.172 --> 00:01:52.472 So if you compare Endotine to other products, 49 00:01:52.472 --> 00:01:54.622 Endotine is yet, compared to other company products 50 00:01:54.622 --> 00:01:55.722 is much better 51 00:01:55.722 --> 00:01:57.472 But there's a downside 52 00:01:57.472 --> 00:01:58.972 It's a little bit expensive 53 00:01:58.972 --> 00:02:01.622 That's why clinics that use products from other companies 54 00:02:01.622 --> 00:02:04.072 don't really say that they use products from other companies 55 00:02:04.072 --> 00:02:07.072 The issue was that even though they didn't use Endotine 56 00:02:07.072 --> 00:02:09.322 they acted as if it was the authentic products 57 00:02:09.322 --> 00:02:10.572 (Can't believe it...) 58 00:02:10.572 --> 00:02:12.772 So one particular clinic caused the problem 59 00:02:12.772 --> 00:02:15.021 To be clear.. 60 00:02:15.021 --> 00:02:15.671 That's a fraud! 61 00:02:15.671 --> 00:02:18.121 If you used Endotine, you have to say that you used Endotine 62 00:02:18.121 --> 00:02:20.321 If you use a different product, you can say that you used a different product 63 00:02:20.321 --> 00:02:22.471 And since we only use Endotine 64 00:02:22.471 --> 00:02:25.921 (Make sure to check the genuine sticker or certificate!) I always give genuine stickers to patients from Endotine 65 00:02:25.921 --> 00:02:28.071 That's the same for famous ultherapy, Ulthera 66 00:02:28.071 --> 00:02:30.821 For the same problem, Ulthera now provides authentic stickers 67 00:02:30.821 --> 00:02:33.121 So you can check it with those stickers 68 00:02:33.121 --> 00:02:36.671 I feel I'm saying how good or bad Endotine is but 69 00:02:36.671 --> 00:02:38.971 that isn't my intention and why I'm filming this 70 00:02:38.971 --> 00:02:41.471 (It's not a promotional video) We didn't get anything from Endotine 71 00:02:41.471 --> 00:02:45.071 But people keep asking me 72 00:02:45.071 --> 00:02:46.271 If our clinic... 73 00:02:46.271 --> 00:02:47.671 is also lying 74 00:02:47.671 --> 00:02:49.821 I fully understand that you're suspicious 75 00:02:49.821 --> 00:02:51.670 If you want to know before the consultation 76 00:02:51.670 --> 00:02:53.920 whether the clinic use Endotine or not 77 00:02:53.920 --> 00:02:55.670 Endotine is its own company 78 00:02:55.920 --> 00:02:58.020 (website↓) 79 00:02:58.020 --> 00:02:59.520 So if you go to their website 80 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:01.820 on the top right, there's a section called partners 81 00:03:01.820 --> 00:03:03.020 Once you click that 82 00:03:03.020 --> 00:03:06.520 You'll see all the hospitals and clinics that they distribute their authentic Endotine to 83 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.820 So it means except for those clinics, they do not distribute anywhere else 84 00:03:09.820 --> 00:03:12.870 Only hospitals supplied by this company are posted on the website 85 00:03:12.870 --> 00:03:15.170 This is one of the way you can check 86 00:03:15.170 --> 00:03:17.220 If there's no name of certain hospital!? 87 00:03:17.220 --> 00:03:18.870 There's a high chance that they don't use Endotine 88 00:03:18.870 --> 00:03:20.370 Because this company says they upload the names on its website 89 00:03:20.370 --> 00:03:22.620 even if they distribute one or two 90 00:03:22.620 --> 00:03:24.420 So you better check them first 91 00:03:24.420 --> 00:03:25.920 and then ask 92 00:03:25.920 --> 00:03:29.719 Today's video wasn't mainly about forehead lifts 93 00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:32.719 but more about the controversies regarding Endotine 94 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:34.919 I think the most important thing is trust 95 00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:37.619 In order to get a good result, we always use good product 96 00:03:37.619 --> 00:03:40.019 in best conditions 97 00:03:40.019 --> 00:03:41.669 So you don't have to worry too much 98 00:03:41.669 --> 00:03:44.869 In the end, it doesn't matter whether it's Endotine or not 99 00:03:44.869 --> 00:03:46.719 But knowing what kind of procedure a forehead lift is 100 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:48.269 And what results it brings 101 00:03:48.269 --> 00:03:51.019 Is something you need to be clear with before going into surgery, 102 00:03:51.019 --> 00:03:55.869 For a higher satisfaction rate 103 00:03:55.869 --> 00:04:03.844 Thank you Plastic Surgery Previous video ★Subscribe ★ Recommended video
