When Are Sutures Removed with a Full Face Lift, Forehead Lift and Small Chin Implant?

The timing of stitch removal after facelift varies between surgeons, the suture technique and the rate of healing observed.

However, to give you a rough answer, I remove the 'visible' sutures in 5-7 days and the 'hidden' sutures - those where some tension is encountered - at 10-12 days

In my practice sutures in the face are out in 5 days and staples in the scalp are ususally left for 10 days. That is in a young healthy patient without major medical problems and medications/ social habits that could complicate wound healing.
