Staples should only be used in the hair-bearing areas while sutures should be used on the skin. Typically, staples are used in the part of the incision that hides inside the hair.
Thank you for your question. If the staples are in the hair, then it probably wouldn't make a difference, but if it is non hair bearing skin, then definitely sutures. If staples are placed in non hair bearing skin for some reason then they should be removed rapidly. My practice is to use sutures for everything to give the best cosmetic result. All the best,
