How is the device used?
The ENDOTINE Midface B is designed for insertion through a lower-lid, blepharoplasty incision. The dissection is carried out inferiorly from the lower lid blepharoplasty incision down to the zygoma. At this point, the midface is entered in a subperiosteal plane. The dissection is usually completed, under direct vision, through the incision. Once the midface dissection is completed, the ENDOTINE Midface B device implant is inserted downward through the incision. Digital pressure on the cheek quickly engages the tines into the soft tissue. Once the tines are engaged, the leash is tensioned to achieve the desired cheek elevation. While under tension, an anchor point on the infraorbital rim is marked. A small hole is then drilled and tapped at the marked location. The leash is then re-tensioned to the desired elevation and the screw anchor is placed to anchor the leash to the infraorbital rim. The screw anchor head and excess leash is then trimmed.
