I had sutures inserted a week ago - one suture for nasolabial folds and one for marionette lines. I like the result, but would love a bit more lift. Can I have one suture added to each of the two areas? If so, how soon? Also, is there any reason Instalift can't be used on the neck? (I know the silhouette soft is used there regularly.)

Answer: Silhouette InstaLift I'm happy to hear you are enjoying the results of Silhouette InstaLift. You can consider adding more threads for other areas, but you should wait until all swelling and bruising has resolved before proceeding. This will allow for proper analysis of the tissues. After about 4 weeks you should be fine to add more threads.

Answer: The Silhouette Instalift threads are stackable The results from a Silhouette Instalift procedure do not peak until about 3 months. Therefore, I recommend waiting until then before considering adding another suture. If you would like a little more lift, more sutures can be added to generate more lift and more collagen. Alternatively, your surgeon can add some filler for volume as well. The Silhouette Instalift sutures have been used in the neck but the results are much more variable. The skin and deeper tissues are different than in the face. Also, the Instalift procedure in the US is only FDA approved in the face. It tends to be surgeon dependent and based on their experience using the sutures.
