Use of staples for lifestyle lift?

March 4, 2024
Asked By:Brave976686 in Syracuse, New York

I just had a consult for a lifestyle facelift. The doctor showed me before and after pictures. One picture was of a woman 10 min after her procedure and she had staples on the side of her face near her hairline just above her ear. I thought it was very unusual to use staples in a cosmetic procedure and that close to the face/delicate tissues. Is this appropriate?
