A Silhouette treatment called InstaLift may be the right choice for you if your goal is to have a facial lift but not go under the knife. This is a non-invasive procedure that uses stitches to lift and tighten sagging, sagging skin. These sutures can be easily reabsorbed so that you get a natural-looking and lasting result.
Conical-shaped sutures are used
The surgeon uses small cone-shaped sutures to lift and reposition sagging facial tissues. The sutures can be placed underneath the skin in strategically located areas. Most patients will need to wait less than 45 minutes.
They are easily absorbed.
The Resorbable Silhouette InstaLift is a non-surgical facelift procedure. It is performed by a skilled medical professional and causes minimal side effects. However, there are some things to keep in mind before you go for this procedure.
They can be used in both directions
Silhouette InstaLift involves a surgical procedure which lifts and holds the tissue underneath it with biodegradable staples. The surgeon does NOT need to remove the thread. Bi-directional cones are used for the most stable suture placement. The cost of silhouette instillations is dependent on the area treated.
They grab tissue
A SilhouetteInstaLift procedure is performed by a doctor to lift the sagging skin. The procedure begins by applying topical anesthesia. The doctor then places a thread-like suture into the underlying tissue and lifts it to a higher place. The procedure takes between 30 and 45 minutes. Patients can expect swelling, bruising and tenderness for up to seven days. While the threads will dissolve over time, patients are advised to avoid strenuous exercise for one week.
They are less invasive than surgery
Silhouette InstaLift, a minimally invasive facial lift, can correct moderate sagging. This procedure is not as painful as a traditional facelift and can last for up to three years. It is performed under local anesthesia and has minimal downtime.
