For eyelid lift, is it better to have staples or sutures? What type of suture has less chance of causing hypertrophic scars?

Asked By:DNE in McLean, Virginia

I tend to form hypertrophic scars so I am afraid of having this surgery, although I really need to have this procedure. Can this procedure be done under local as I am afraid of anesthesia.
