Has anyone had any experience of the Silhouette soft? (photos)

Many patients are hesitant to undergo a face and neck lift procedure because they believe that the surgery is too radical, takes too long, or will make them look overdone. Unfortunately, many of these patients will look for alternative less invasive treatments to improve their face. Thread lifts are one of these alternatives. While great in theory and possibly beneficial for those with just a slight amount of sagging of their tissues, they just don't produce the same long lasting results as a traditional facelift for those with significant jowling and neck laxity.  At this point, your lifting probably won't improve much, but the dimpling should lessen with more time.

Thank you for sharing. 
I am the UK trainer for silhouette soft thread lifts and have seen great results from Silhouette soft thread lifts alone, however it is all about patient selection. I would suggest from your pre treatment images that you required combination treatment to treat the degree of facial laxity you have as your facial tissue is quite hypertrophic. 
At Dr Leah clinics we have created The Dr Leah Lift, for such cases - it combines US lifting treatment "Ultherapy" with Silhouette Soft thread lift, plus a facial peel to treat facial sagging that is deemed to be moderate or severe. 
Some form of combination treatment is what you should consider, it is unlikely that threads alone will provide an effective result for you.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,

Perhaps revising your operation and converting it to a face lift while removing the Silhouette sutureand releasing the skin will give you a better correctionand solve your concerns. Consult with a board certifiedplastic surgeon in your area for a complete evaluation andrecommendations. Best wishes.

It is disappointing that you are not satisfied with your results of your Silhouette treatment so far. It is not uncommon to get some swelling initially, as well as some dimpling and puckering. This normally resolves within 2-3 weeks. The lifting effect is achieved initially due to the fixation of the skin to the tiny cones incorporated into the threads. There is normally a further lifting effect over the subsequent 2-3 months due to collagen stimulation, but this is more subtle. It is difficult to assess the amount of lift that was achieved without seeing your before photos.
I would recommend allowing more time for everything to settle down. The best results are often achieved when Silhouette treatment is combined with cheek volumisation using fillers, as well as collagen stimulation to improve skin texture. It would be worthwhile seeing your practitioner about 6-8 weeks after your treatment to discuss the possibility of using fillers to improve the results.
Best wishes 

Are there any before pictures? It's difficult to say. We all think that Silhouette is a magic treatment but in reality it is to be considered the same as a filler, botox or peeling. It is not surgery and the results are not as visible or longlasting as surgery. However Silhouette contributes to the general anti-ageing of the face and has a unique lifting effect  However it's not the only treatment that we need at this age. I wonder if this was explained to you before treatment. You should return to the doctor and ask about further treatments to improve and refine the results.
