Will Post- Facelift Staple Removal Improve Skin Tightening?

Staple removal after a facelift will not make it tighter. It has no bearing on the end result of your surgery.

Thanks for the Question & Congratulations on your procedure @Rosemarie44!!Although I do not typically use staples in facelift surgery, it is a common practice among some surgeons. There is no right or wrong reason but it's personal preference. I find that sutures allow more precise skin alignment on the face and reserve staples only for browlifts and other surgeries involving the scalp. The staples will not improve or worsen the tightness in your face. Typically you can expect the initial swelling to increase a few days with the peak being postoperative day number three. After that it dissipates over the next two weeks. Usually there is some natural numbness along the incision after any plastic surgery procedure which makes suture or staple removal quite painless. 
The staples are removed with a small instrument that pushes down on the center of the staple, rotating the edges out from the skin. 
Best of luck,

 Removing  Staples After a Face lift sill  Improve the Tightness in my Face perhaps a little. It will lessen the tension in the immediate area just a little at most. With time however your tissues will become more pliant and less tight.
