How Long Do the Results Last for the Suture Suspension Procedure?
A very short lasting operation. You may get 6 months of "suspension if lucky. Most report a few months of improvement.

Suture Suspension Procedure Is Short Lived Satisfaction
This procedure has very short lasting results. Most patients only get a few months and usually no more than 6 months of improvement. At that point, most patients have realized that it was not worth the time or money. There are far better procedures for facial rejuvenation and although they are slightly more invasive, their lasting ability usually outweighs that factor. “Dr. D”

How Long Do the Results Last for the Suture Suspension Procedure?
The honest answer IMHO, is too short of a time to make them a viable option. You should only consider face lifts that dissect, elevate, trim and re-suture the SMAS not simply suturing or using threads to suspend it.
