Staples and Brow Lift? (photo)

Staples can be used to close the scalp in a browlift. The staples' main purpose is to close the scalp and has no impact on the fixation of the brow (the part that keeps the brow elevated). I prefer staples to sutures as in my hands, there is better alignment and approximation of the scalp and the scar is harder to detect.

The staples were removed at the appropriate time.  I think what you are describing is natural healing due to the tension and inherent trauma of the surgery.  It should slowly resolve over months.  I would encourage you not to touch the area too much.

During brow lift sutres under the scalp support the lift. The staples wre only used to close the incision and shoul have no effect on the lift. Staples are usually removed around day 7. Staple removal should not have any effect on your result.

The staples used in a brow lift are only used to close the skin and not to elevate the brow.  Seven days should be fine to remove them although some surgeons may choose to leave them in a day or two more.  Removing them at seven days should have no effect on your ultimate result.
