Permanent or dissolvable stitches for SMAS facelift success?

February 1, 2015
Asked By:Tania00 in Australia, AU

Hello, I recently had an SMAS mid and lower face lift and necklift overseas, my surgeon used dissolvable stitches of 6-8 weeks, I have just read on real self of surgeons using permanent stitches on the SMAS as they offer longer lasting results, now I am concerned mine will not last? After spending so much money and the stress of the operation I would be very disappointed to learn that this may be the case, opinions please, thank you so much :)
