Ideal # of days from surgery date for removal of staples in scalp after brow lift? Numbness top and back of scalp is normal?

December 25, 2014
Asked By:Kate2014 in NYC

had a brow lift and cheek implants on 12/19. I was told by surgeon that my recovery time would be one week and the cheek implant would have internal dissolvable stitches inside my mouth and brow lift would have "two tiny incisions hidden in hairline". That was what I was prepared for. To to my complete shock I have 40 metal staples along 4 large incision lines! What is ideal number of days for staples to remain for? And is it normal numbness all over scalp? Will flying 3hrs harm healing at all?
