Thread Lift: Q&A

What Are the Potential Issues of Dissolvable Thread Lift?
It seems to me that some of the problems with old Thread lifts could be resolved if the threads were reabsorbable. (Longevity issues still remain, but then it's the same problem with Botox. I guess a redo every 2-3 years isn't SO bad...) Is this procedure available in the U.S.?
And do any of the doctors on this site perform it? On a related note, other than longevity issues, what are some of the problems with a dissolvable Thread lift that may potentially crop up? Thanks in advance!!

Resorbable thread lifts
Resorbable barbed sutures are available. However, given my experience with non-resorbable threads, it is my impression that this would be very short lived.
I don't believe this would hold.
Having said that, many surgeons are using resorbable barbed sutures in combination with short scar face lifts. This has produced satisfactory results that are long lasting.
