How long do I need to wait before having botox after a face lift?

MonaCatOct 13, 2014

I had a full face lift, with eyes & forehead done as well. I still have crows feet which I have been treating for years successfully with botox injections. How soon after my face lift may I resume botox treatments ?

What you are describing is known as suture spitting, where instead of sutures being absorbed by your body, this happens.  Normally you could let the process go and allow it to heal but it worsens the scars and that's not ideal on a face.  Having this removed helps with healing
