Doctor used permanent nylon threads in my lift - should I have these removed?

Compassionate311864May 12, 2025
I had an endoscopic brow lift. 4 incisions through the scalp. I just found out with an MRI that I basically have non dissolvable nylon sutures holding my forehead up. I'm so worried that I now have permanent plastic in my face I was not aware of. Should I get a revision and get this removed? The doctor said these are permanent polyester sutures.

I encourage you to begin by visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon for an evaluation. Though you will need to take a break from tattoo removal, once healed the two procedures should not interfere with each other.

You can consider under eye fillers to help with hollowness and dark circles. Botox can be used to give a subtle brow lift resulting in a more refreshed look. Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.
