Is it better to have stitches or dissolving stitches for upper blepharoplasty?

Thank you for your question. Your surgeon should use the approach that is best. While the type of suture is important, you should make sure that you are working with a board certified facial plastic surgeon who has plenty of experience performing blepharoplasties. Your recovery will also be influenced by your ability to follow the healing instructions.
Best wishes,

Studies have shown that scars look better early on if the sutures are removed compared with dissolvable sutures. However, long term the scars looked the same. I personally use removable sutures just so the scars look as good as possible as quickly as possible.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Rejuvenation Specialist
