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

August 11, 2022
Asked By:swdc in Washington, District of Columbia

I am considering a facelift and endoscopic brow lift with a plastic surgeon who uses Gore-tex sutures for both. I'm nervous about having permanent sutures left inside my body. I am also nervous about having something attached to my skull. Will I feel these things inside my body after the surgery, and will they be irritating? Or is this standard procedure? Is Gore-Tex the best option?
