I am 38 years old and have been advised to have silhouette soft threads by my doctor. She said I'm the perfect candidate. She did not specify how many threads but I think one or two per side. I've been reading a lot into it and most reviews are quite negative. I have some premature jowl sagging which and the begging of marionette lines. Any advice is welcome! Am I better off with fillers? Can you feel the thread after recovery? I heard that you can't open your mouth wide... is that permanent?
Answer: Silhouette InstaLift vs fillers The best way to determine which treatment is right for you is through an in person evaluation. Often times Silhouette InstaLift is used in conjunction with fillers for the most complete treatment. If the threads are placed properly you should not be able to feel them. Not everyone is a candidate for this treatment, but if your doctor feels you are a good candidate it is a procedure you should consider.

Answer: Fillers and Silhouette Fillers and Silhouette Soft are totally different things. Fillers give you a volume restoration on areas where you need or have lost volume. Silhouette Soft on the other hand, lifts the sagging skin. However both can work complimentary to each other but one cannot replace the other. For the premature jowl sagging & marionette line, Silhouette soft is my treatment of choice because it has excellent results.

Answer: Thread Lift for Lower Face Thank you for your question. It would be useful to provide some photos to see if you would benefit. The threads are useful for the lower face for treatment of jowls and marionette lines in the right candidate. Your surgeon should be able to identify if you would be a suitable candidate.

Answer: Silhouette Instalift and other non-surgical options Thank you for your question. Dermal fillers are a great way to help soften the early signs of aging. The Silhouette Instalift procedure is another great way to lift some of the 'sagging' tissues associated with the aging process. I will often use both approaches as they work synergistically together. Which to start first? It depends on patient assessment and aesthetic goals of the patient (a photo would be helpful). If, for example, the marionette lines or jowls are mild, then either Instalift sutures or dermal fillers may be all you need. For patients with a more pronounced presentation, then a combined approach may yield the best results. I would visit with a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in non-surgical facial rejuvenation in your area to discuss your options in more detail

Answer: Silhouette for a 38 year old It's a shame that we do not have a picture of you. The first thing that happens as we age is volume loss and this can show itself as looking tired, a saggy jawline and shadows across the face. True sagging of the tissues appears much later. It makes sense to address the volume loss first; some fillers carefully placed in the cheek are and maybe the temples will lift the face. These are quicker, easier and cheaper than Silhouette and with less down time and discomfort. Silhouette is a great treatment to lift the face but ideally start with fillers.
