CONTACT NOW Answer: Staple Removal after #Facelift Thanks for the Question & Congratulations on your procedure @Rosemarie44!!Although I do not typically use staples in facelift surgery, it is a common practice among some surgeons. There is no right or wrong reason but it's personal preference. I find that sutures allow more precise skin alignment on the face and reserve staples only for browlifts and other surgeries involving the scalp. The staples will not improve or worsen the tightness in your face. Typically you can expect the initial swelling to increase a few days with the peak being postoperative day number three. After that it dissipates over the next two weeks. Usually there is some natural numbness along the incision after any plastic surgery procedure which makes suture or staple removal quite painless. The staples are removed with a small instrument that pushes down on the center of the staple, rotating the edges out from the skin.

Answer: Skin Staples and Face lift Tightness Removing Staples After a Face lift sill Improve the Tightness in my Face perhaps a little. It will lessen the tension in the immediate area just a little at most. With time however your tissues will become more pliant and less tight.

Answer: Face Lift
That would depend entirely on where the staples are, and the tension on them. I doubt the improvement will be substantial, but there are too many details missing to know for sure.

Answer: Staple removal after Facelift will not improve skin tightening
The staples were used to close the skin and if used properly were not used in a way to tighten the skin during closure. The tightening was most likely done with sutures placed under the skin in the SMAS layer.
Hopefully there will be no change is skin tension after staple removal. If anything, if the staples were placed under tension, the skin could become looser.
