How Long Will Skin Puckers Along Incision Lines Last?

There are occasionally small puckers that are noted at the edge of the incisions after a facelift procedure. These can be addressed with a small very dilute solution of cortisone injected into the area to help settle them down. If they do not, they will have to be surgically corrected and you must wait at least six months prior to embarking on any revision surgery.

Skin puckers are kindly referred to as "Dog ears"  in the plastic surgery world.  Personally, I try to eliminate Dog ears at the time of surgery.  To do this the incision has to be made longer.  There are times when the trade off of making an incision longer vs leaving a dog ear is not appropriate.  The dog should be of minimal size if retained and given at least 3 months to resolve naturally.

Scarring takes weeks to months to mature following fresh incisions.  Without more information about the timing and type of surgery that you had, your question is difficult to answer.
