Difference Between Types of Stitches for Facelift?

February 14, 2010
Asked By:BrookeinCO in Colorado

If a doctor uses a rolling stitch, instead of the very fine sutures I have seen used by some physicians for facelift incisions, is it more likely to leave a visible incision? Does it make a difference on what day post-op the sutures are removed? Thank you.
