If they are saying that they used
the authentic products when they didn't...
Obviously,
it is a fraud!
Thank You Plastic Surgery
Hello, I'm Dr. Choi Yo-an Choi from Thank You Plastic Surgery
Today, I am going to talk about
forehead lifts
When you think of forehead lifts in the past,
You thought you'd peel a huge part of the skin off
With large incisions causing large scarring
and it was really expensive
However recently, endoscopes have been developed
and we make only three to five small incisions
Use the endoscope to dissect
And after, the skin is pulled in position
The surgery itself is theoretically simple
Because the skin is saggy and drooping down
It's procedure where we lift it the opposite way
What we'll be talking about today..
Issues with the Endotine imitation products
There was a controversy with how some would describe the imitation products
as the original Endotine products
We have also been getting a lot of inquiries lately because of it
And gotten a lot of questions from patients
If we are using authentic Endotine products
What is Endotine?
It is a product that is FDA-approved in the U.S
This is it
If you look, there are five bumps here
You drill holes in the bone to make a place for this to go in
And once we place this inside the hole
make the serrations get onto the tissue,
and keep it in position
(Endotine VS Similar Products) Compared to other products
The looks and functions the same
And the materials are the same as well
But the difference was
As far as anchoring to the bone, it is the same
But when pulling the tissue for fixation,
when you look at other company products,
the tip is a bit dull
So the disadvantage of this is that
The anchoring is weak (compared to Endotine)
And after you anchor it, it is called locking,
because the strength is a bit weak,
the holding power is weak as well
So if you compare Endotine to other products,
Endotine is yet, compared to other company products
is much better
But there's a downside
It's a little bit expensive
That's why clinics that use products from other companies
don't really say that they use products from other companies
The issue was that even though they didn't use Endotine
they acted as if it was the authentic products
(Can't believe it...)
So one particular clinic caused the problem
To be clear..
That's a fraud!
If you used Endotine, you have to say that you used Endotine
If you use a different product, you can say that you used a different product
And since we only use Endotine
(Make sure to check the genuine sticker or certificate!) I always give genuine stickers to patients from Endotine
That's the same for famous ultherapy, Ulthera
For the same problem, Ulthera now provides authentic stickers
So you can check it with those stickers
I feel I'm saying how good or bad Endotine is but
that isn't my intention and why I'm filming this
(It's not a promotional video) We didn't get anything from Endotine
But people keep asking me
If our clinic...
is also lying
I fully understand that you're suspicious
If you want to know before the consultation
whether the clinic use Endotine or not
Endotine is its own company
(website↓)
So if you go to their website
on the top right, there's a section called partners
Once you click that
You'll see all the hospitals and clinics that they distribute their authentic Endotine to
So it means except for those clinics, they do not distribute anywhere else
Only hospitals supplied by this company are posted on the website
This is one of the way you can check
If there's no name of certain hospital!?
There's a high chance that they don't use Endotine
Because this company says they upload the names on its website
even if they distribute one or two
So you better check them first
and then ask
Today's video wasn't mainly about forehead lifts
but more about the controversies regarding Endotine
I think the most important thing is trust
In order to get a good result, we always use good product
in best conditions
So you don't have to worry too much
In the end, it doesn't matter whether it's Endotine or not
But knowing what kind of procedure a forehead lift is
And what results it brings
Is something you need to be clear with before going into surgery,
For a higher satisfaction rate
