Interest in noninvasive facial rejuvenation procedures continues to grow. With the advent of the so-called lunch-time face-lift, suture suspension facial rejuvenation has gained prominence and much popularity largely patient driven rather than data driven. We have published a decade ago a review about this rejuvenation technique. Despite its popularity at that time, serious long-term studies and peer-reviewed data about longevity and patient satisfaction were lacking to our surprise. As 10 years have passed, we have conducted a new systematic PubMed database search limited to the last 10 years interval.
The search identified 192 publications. After screening the titles and abstracts, 20 clinical and 2 experimental studies met the inclusion criteria and were selected for this review.
Though thread lift facial rejuvenation is considered to be a promising modality, no new evidence has been added to the literature to support its use.
Until evidence-based efficacy and robust data are objectively documented, patients requesting percutaneous facial rejuvenation must be well informed about adverse events, longevity of effect, and limited available data on efficacy.

对面部非侵入性年轻化治疗的兴趣不断增加。随着所谓的“午餐时间拉皮手术”的出现，缝线悬吊面部年轻化技术得到了广泛关注和普及，这主要是由患者需求驱动，而非数据驱动。我们在 10 年前曾对这项年轻化技术进行了综述。尽管当时它很受欢迎，但令人惊讶的是，缺乏关于其长期效果和患者满意度的严肃的长期研究和同行评审数据。10 年过去了，我们进行了一项新的基于 PubMed 数据库的检索，仅检索过去 10 年的研究。
搜索确定了 192 篇出版物。在筛选标题和摘要后，有 20 项临床研究和 2 项实验研究符合纳入标准，并被选入本次综述。
尽管线雕面部年轻化被认为是一种有前途的治疗方法，但文献中并没有新的证据支持其使用。
在客观记录基于证据的疗效和可靠数据之前，要求接受经皮面部年轻化治疗的患者必须充分了解不良反应、效果的持久性以及关于疗效的有限可用数据。
