Can the silhouette lift be used for a very slight browlift?

Question

I need a very slight lift of my brow in the temple area to help with some sagging in the eyebrows and a vertical line developing across the bridge of my nose. Is the Silhouette lift recommended for this area? I feel like the skin is so thin there that the cones or threads will show. Also, how many sutures do you think would be needed?

Yes, silhouette soft lift can be used for slight browlift. It is minimally invasive with hardly any down time and you get a subtle brow lift which lasts you approximately 12-15 months. It can be done with just one suture on each side.

Hi historylover,

Thank you for your question. At this time, Silhouette Instalift is not indicated for browlift. However, there are physicians that are using it in the brow. Yet in our experience it tends not to last as long in the brow as in other areas of the face and achieving symmetry in the brow can be challenging. But the procedure continues to be perfected in the brow so stay tuned as the medical community continues to progress with minimally invasive skin and brow lifting.

Lawrence Janowski, MD · Answer

Yes, Silhouette can be used in the brow to lift it modestly.  It is thin enough that it would be unlikely to show through the skin, unless your forehead skin is very thin.  A competent practitioner should be able to tell you if it is safe for you in that location.  One thread on each side is typically sufficient.

The soluble sutures is inserted mid-face , and engaged into the dermis.  Overtime, your body will naturally metabolize the suture, causing it to stimulate your own collagen. The results may last up to 18 months. Currently it is not FDA approved to lift the brows in the United States. 
Always discuss possible side-effects with your Board Certified Dermatologist.

although not yet approved for this usage by the fda many physicians have been using it for successful brow lifts. generally one to two sutures on each side are suitable.
