How long will collagen continue to generate after a Silhouette Lift? My face looks bloated.
northeastcitygirlAug 25, 2014
I recently had a silhouette lift with non-absorbable sutures and absorbable cones. After 6 weeks, my doctor cut the suture tension because one side was too tight. I still have the sutures in my face and the cones made from sculptura have started to dissolve; they will completely dissolve over 9 months stimulating collagen. I know this is a new procedure, but how long will collagen continue to generate? My face looks bloated/shapeless. Can I have the sutures removed once the cones dissolve?
