Answer: Suture Removed After A Facelift Thank you for your questions. I use dissolvable suture therefore patient only need to return for a follow up appointment not to have sutures removed. This gives my patients a nicer scar, being absorbable and under the skin. I use non absorbable sutures for Upper Eyelids I always recommend between 5-7 days after surgery. Please consult with your surgeon, as they may have a different protocol. All The Best

Answer: Suture removal after facelift surgery In my practice facelift sutures are removed 7 days post op. Then scar treatment begins two weeks later using special creams. Other surgeons prefer early removal of facelift sutures, I have not had any issue with taking them at 7 day post op.

Answer: Face Lift Stitch Removal When sutures are removed is dependent on the type, size and location of the sutures.patient age, general health, and whether there are buried dermal sutures taking the tension off of the skin closure. Typically I use absorbable sutures for facelifts so none have to be removed.
