I am concern about staples. It sound like more noticeable scar because of staples. Why staples? What's wrong with stitches if the surgeon do not want to use the stitches?

Answer: Staples behind the ear for a facelift HI Jane,I do not think that it makes too much of a difference as to what type of material is used behind the ear. the final scar depends more on the tension used in the closure and the skill of the surgeon. Also, the length of time that the sutures or staples are left in also plays a role.Discuss with your surgeon why he/she prefers one method over another and voice your concerns about the incision.Best Wishes,Dr. Christine Rodgers

Answer: Staples versus Sutures in hair bearing areas Staples are preferred in areas adjacent to, or in the scalp since the chance of hair follicle injury is less. If the use of staples is disconcerting make your feelings known to your surgeon. I am sure that they will be able to accommodate your request. Regards.
