Is it normal to have "sharp" on touch bumps after Instalift? (Photo)

Dear flyingever,
Thank you for your question. It can be not uncommon to have bumps from the procedure that resolve over time as the thread material dissolves on its own. Sometimes if the bumps still persist longer than expected, the cone or piece of thread can be removed, as your provider has tried to do. Swelling in the areas where the threads were placed can occur immediately after the procedure and typically take days and sometimes up to weeks to go away. I recommend you re-discuss your concerns with your provider and seek close follow-up evaluation. 

Bumps can be typical for a short period of time after a Silhouette, especially with people withthin skin. I recommend returning to the person who performed the procedure for a second lookand reassurance.

Bumps are not typical with Silhouette, but can occur if the thread has been placed too close to the underside of the skin surface.  The best solution is injection of any hyaluronic acid filler such as juvederm or restylane under the skin over the thread to provide cushioning and to hide it.  They will eventually soften and dissolve over time, but can take 6 or more months to do so.
