What type of sutures do you use for a platysmaplasty? Permanent/dissolving? Mono/braided? Any specific reason for your choices?

August 23, 2014

My question is about the suture material used when doing a platsymaplasty; are there any reasons to be concerned with the use of permanent, monofilament being used by a double board certified, faces-only plastic surgeon? Any bio-film infection or rejection issues with non dissolving sutures esp the braided type? And could absorbable ones be used in this neck lifting procedure?
