How Many Stitches Does a Facelift Require?

The question begs another - why do you ask ?Excellent results can be had with varying techniques, and from person to person and different number of sutures.  In general the finer the suture, the more that may be required.Pick the best surgeon, not the number of sutures used as more does not equal better (nor does less).

The number of sutures utilized
during a facelift is dependent upon the type of facelift performed and the
suture technique utilized by the surgeon. 
Obviously, when larger procedures are performed, incisions are longer
and more sutures are used.  In many
cases surgeons utilize running buried sutures.  For these reasons, it’s impossible to provide an absolute
number of sutures used during a facelift. 
Furthermore, most surgeons use just enough sutures to get the job done, because additional sutures might cause excess
scarring.
