Face lift while there is fibrosis of fine contour threads?

ManishaK
I had got fine contour threads absorbable a year back. What is still apparent is mild elevation of skin in a strange way and tightening in the threads area because of excess fibrosis. Now I am considering face lift, however talking to a Dr friend(not plastic surgeon) who raised a concern that face lift could complicate the fibrosis as dissection of skin in that area would lead to more scar tissue and hence more damage in that area. Please advise, if face lift solves the problem or complicates!
