What is the failure rate of Platysmaplasty with Dissolvable Internal Sutures?

December 1, 2015
Asked By:Jen36 in Los Angeles, CA

I recently had Platysmaplasty and liposuction done to my neck. What are the chances of the internal dissolvable sutures dissolving too soon an ruining my Platysmaplasty? Is there anything I can do to minimize the possibility of this happening? Does it happen very often that the internal dissolvable sutures used to tie up the muscle dont do their job and the procedure fails? If it doesn't fail how long will it last
