Facelift with or without permanent suture?

Asked By:antonellabettinardi in New York, New York, Stati Uniti

I got a consult with a plastic surgeon regarding face lift. He told me that, for a best and guaranteed result over time, he places permanent and non absorbable polyester suture named Ti-cron. I suffer from an autoimmune disease and possibly I don't want to insert foreign material in my body. As from your experience, do you place always these permanent suture performing a face lift? And, if you don't place them, will the result last shortly or disappear in a few months? Thank you
