Is it possible to do endoscopic brow lift without permanent sutures?

Question

I am wanting to get an endoscopic brow lift done but do not want any permanent sutures left inside.

Pawel Szychta, MD, PhD, DSc · Answer

It's possible to get an endoscopic brow lift without using permanent sutures. Some surgeons use dissolvable sutures that break down over time, while others use techniques like tissue adhesives or special devices that hold the brow in position during healing. It would be beneficial to discuss your preference for no permanent sutures with your surgeon to ensure the technique they use aligns with your goals.

Robert T. Buchanan, MD (retired) · Answer

Since it takes at least 3-4 months for scar to develop enough strength to resist gravity, the sutures need to last at least that long. this leaves only 2 categories of sutures, permanent ones and PDS, a synthetic suture that does not dissolve for 4-6 months. So, yes, you can get a brow lift without permanent sutures. However, even some "permanent" sutures like nylon even dissolve after a number of years.
