Asked By:Rosebud753 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I had a mini face lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty, and temperoral brow lift 6 months ago. I was happy at first but I started showing signs of puffiness under my ear lobes, and my jawline was not tight anymore. I’ve been offered a free in office fix which is being referred to as pixie ears. Will this fix my neck too? Pull my cheek area back where it was?

Should I be worried about a suture extrusion area getting infected or should I leave it as is?
Salih Aydin, MD says:

Hello, non-melting permanent sutures are generally used in ear surgeries. These stitches can come out of the skin over the years. If it is out of the skin, it makes sense to take it. because over time, the infection of these sutures is almost 100%. Even if not within a few months, an infection...
