Will scar tissue or thread from thread lift cause wavy skin after a facelift?

than6278
I've done silhouette thread lift 3 years ago with small incisions in the hair around temporal area. Now I'm considering short scar facelift and the incisions will be in the hairline close to the thread incisions. 1. Will scar tissue or thread from thread lift cause wavy skin after a facelift? 2. Do the thread need to be removed before facelift surgery...can thread get tangled up with suture from facelift? 3. What's the chance of nerve injury from a facelift? Thank you so much doctors!!
