Use of Goretex sutures for facelift and brow lift - will I feel it inside my body after surgery?

Many surgeon myself included use permanent sutures in facelifts. If the sutures are too big you could feel the knots as lumps but that rarely happens

Hello, and thank you for your question. GORE-TEX sutures are commonly used in cosmetic surgery, and the types of sutures used will depend on the surgeon’s technique or surgical approach, as well as the desired results of the patient. And yes, these sutures may be palpable after surgery but should be fixable.
You may consider a PDO thread lift that uses absorbable polydioxanone stitches to lift the skin and balance facial proportions. It is important that you feel safe and confident about your surgery. I recommend consulting with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon. Your surgeon will be able to address all your concerns, fully discuss the surgical procedure, and ensure the best possible results.

The type of suture used during surgery is dependent on the surgeon and is determined by the surgeon’s experience and training. There are always multiple ways to perform a procedure and get a great result. Goretex sutures are permanent, so they will not go away. Depending on the size of the suture and thickness of the overlying skin and fat, the suture knots may be felt after the surgery. The sutures would not otherwise be felt or cause irritation.
