I had a lateral browlift over 6 weeks ago and still have stitches, should they be removed?

Hello nenaSutures are removed in 1-2 weeks, patients can return to work before they are removed, this also depends on the surgeon. You should visit or contact your plastic surgeon about this concern.
 

Thank you for your question. I suggest that you discuss the particulars of your sutures with your board certified facial plastic surgeon. Most often, a brow lift is performed as an endoscopic procedure with small sutures in the hairline. Once the procedure is done, the incisions are closed with removable or absorbable sutures.
Best wishes,

While practices differ depending on surgeon preference and training, in general, hairline incisions are closed with absorbable sutures that are either removed at 1-2 weeks post-operatively, or are allowed to dissolve on their own.  One may speed the resolution of absorbable sutures by moistening them with hydrogen peroxide, or witch hazel (preferred on non-blonde, non-white hair).  In general, hairline incisions heal well.  Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon, and follow his/ her recommendations in the post-operative period.  Good luck in your recovery.
