What is the Difference Between a Thread Lift and a Suture Suspension During a SMAS Facelift?

NHaven
What is the Difference Between a Thread Lift and a Suture Suspension During a SMAS facelift procedure? Is there another (or longer lasting) way to secure the SMAS in the neck and face? Is this something a patient should be concerned about when deciding on a facial plastic surgeon?
