I just had an Endotine midface lift with lifting the corner of the eyes only by vertical excision of skin above the years just behind the hairline.I was told by the surgeon that the incisions would be about 1-2 inch on each side just above the years , inside the hair – basically invisible, but when I removed the bandages, I was surprised there where about 5 inch long at the hair line on each side and stapled with metal, not sutures.Are staples appropriate to be used in this case?
