If you're looking for a facelift but don't want to go under the knife, a Silhouette InstaLift treatment may be for you. This non-invasive procedure uses sutures to tighten and lift sagging skin. You can expect a natural-looking, long-lasting result because these sutures are resorbable.
Sutures are cone-shaped
To lift and reposition sagging skin, the surgeon uses small conical sutures. The sutures are placed under the skin at strategic points. Most patients take less than 45 minutes to complete the procedure.
They are absorbable
The Resorbable Silhouette InstaLift is a non-surgical facelift procedure. The procedure is performed by a qualified medical professional with minimal side effects. There are some things you should know before you undergo this procedure.
They are bi-directional
Silhouette InstaLift, a surgical procedure that lifts the tissue and attaches it using biodegradable sutures, is called. The surgeon does no need to cut or resorb the treated areas after the procedure. Bi-directional cones provide the best lift. The cost of silhouette instillations is dependent on the area treated.
They grab tissue
A physician performs a Silhouette InstaLift procedure to lift the sagging tissue. The procedure begins with topical anesthesia. The doctor will then place a suture-like thread in the underlying tissue. Next, he or she will lift the tissue to a higher level. The suture is then trimmed to a smooth appearance, and the procedure is usually completed in 30 to 45 minutes. Patients should expect some swelling, bruising, and tenderness for three to seven days. While the threads eventually disintegrate, patients should refrain for a week from any strenuous exercise.
They are less invasive than surgery
Silhouette's InstaLift is minimally invasive and can correct moderate sagging or jowls. It can also improve skin firmness and elasticity. This procedure is not as painful as a traditional facelift and can last for up to three years. It is performed under local sedation and requires very little downtime.
