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 Hello and thanks for the question. There are a variety of options for re-suspending the tissue during a mini-facelift. For the deeper layers, it would be very unusual for staples to be used. Generally the muscle layer is resuspended with some type of suture, either absorbable or permanent.

Answer: Do All Surgeons Staple to Cheek Muscle in Mini Facelift? Sutures Work Best in Mini Lifts Every surgeon develops techniques over the years that work best in most of their patients. I don’t use staples in face lifts. I find that sutures are better able to withstand the downward pull of tissues, and hold the muscle and skin in place as they heal. The most important thing is to find a facial plastic surgeon who inspires trust and confidence. I hope this helps.

Answer: Mini-Facelift and Cheek Muscle staple Hi and thanks for your question. I use dissolvable sutures to lift the muscle layer (SMAS). I believe that most surgeons use dissolvable sutures as well. The important thing is to see a surgeon who has a lot of experience and can show you many good before and after photos.

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.
