Nonsurgical Tissue Repositioning: Analysis of Long-Term Results and Patient Satisfaction From 100 Absorbable Suture Suspension Cases.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Absorbable suspension sutures are the only nonsurgical modality approved for tissue repositioning.

Objectives

To quantitate patient perceptions of treatment at 24 months and determine the impact of age and prior surgical procedures on perceptions of efficacy, treatment longevity, and overall satisfaction. In addition, the authors sought to describe the impact of treatment with absorbable suspension sutures on the likelihood a patient will undergo future surgical procedures.

Methods

The first 100 treated patients who underwent treatment with absorbable suspension sutures, by the senior author, were critically evaluated. Subjects completed surveys 24 months following initial treatment.
