Do all surgeons with a mini face lift staple to the cheek muscle .I was told it holds the lift in place. I don"t like the idea of having Ethibond sutures in my face.

Answer: Mini facelift. Do all surgeons staple to the cheek muscle? There are many techniques used to suspend the deeper tissues of the face involved in a mini lift. It's best to rely upon a surgeon's judgment in terms of their technique if you trust the surgeon you are seeing. There are many suspension methods that can get a nice result. Best wishes.

Answer: Mini facelift No - most of us do not use staples. Sutures are most commonly used to suspend the deeper tissues supero-laterally. These can be dissolvable or permanent. Both have worked well in the past. I can understand not wanting permanent sutures, but really they have been used for 1000's of cases without alot of issues.
