How long will collagen continue to generate after a Silhouette Lift? My face looks bloated.

 I have seen so many shortcuts to facelifts involving placement of various slings and implants over my career I can barely count them.  they never work.

Thank you for your question.  Non-absorbable sutures can be removed long after they are placed.  The majority of the collagen formed around the cones will likely have occurred in the first few months as the cones resorb.  Outcomes for any procedure is highly dependent on the experience level of the surgeon performing the procedure (e.g. a dermal filler used for non-surgical facial aging is a great tool but how you use it makes a world of difference).  I would revisit with your surgeon, or perhaps other surgeon in your area who have experience in evaluating this concern to help develop options for you.

Your question is interesting as the majority of facelift surgeons will not know what you are referring to. "Cones", "Silhouette" and sutures that were cut 6 weeks after your procedure - I am not sure what this means. I am sorry that I cannot be of help but your surgeon would know best.
