Silhouette lift\Dissolvable Sutures; will I feel that there is something in my face, and for how long?

Frank Dammert
I am a 54 year old woman and am thinking of having this procedure Silhouette lift\Dissolvable sutures. What I want to know will I feel that there is something in my face, and for how long. The big question is, long term after say 10 - 15 years will there be a line\bump or roping effect on my face where the tissue has grown onto the threads before dissolving? Such an effect is seen on people that have had face lifts etc.
