Facelift incision opened after suture removal. Any suggestions?

May 1, 2015
Asked By:larksmith in Fredericksburg, VA

I am 1 month post op from a mini facelift. I had sutures in my hairline removed 2 weeks ago. 3 days after removal I noticed bleeding from one side of my hairline just above my ear. My PS did not recommend putting a new suture in. He said the wound should be kept covered and that it would close in time. The wound is about an inch long going from the top of the ear to my hairline, and 1/4 to 1/2 and inch wide.. Should I have this revised now? I'm concerned it will take months to heal.
