How Many Days Post Op from a Facelift Should Sutures in Front of Ears Be Removed, for the best possible chance of limited scarring? Thank you
Answer: Sutures & Facelift
Most of the time, the optimal way to minimize facelift incision appearance is to put the incision in the natural crease lines pre and post auricular area which are in normal areas of concavity to convexity along the ear in post auricular and to place deep sutures and remove the sutures early in 7-10 days or less.

CONTACT NOW 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: In Most Cases: 4-6 Days A variety of wound closure techniques are utilized when facelift procedures are performed. In most cases deep absorbable sutures are used in combination with superficial non absorbable sutures which require removal. In most cases non absorbable sutures are removed in 4 to 6 days following surgery. This approach helps minimize the potential for cross hatching and scarring. It’s important to realize that each patients situation is unique and for this reason care needs to be individualized.

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.
