A member asked:
Will i have a lot of stitches from my neck lift, and will they be painful to remove?
11 doctors weighed in across 4 answers
No: Depending on the type of neck lift you undergo will determine the amount of stitches required. I typically use sutures that require removal under the chin and behind the ear. They are not painful to remove.

Stitches: Some stitches will need to be removed and some may dissolve. Neither should be painful.
