Can Silhouette Instalift trigger a rheumatoid arthritis crisis?

Question

My arthritis has been under control for a few years with biological medication. Really want to do Silhouette Instalift, am a good candidate with mild skin sagging on the jawline, but am a bit afraid to trigger a reaction.

Dear valldares.mariana,
Thank you for your question. This would probably be best discussed with your provider who will perform the procedure and with your physician who follows your rheumatoid arthritis disease. If you know you are prone to scarring or disease flareup issues associated with previous surgeries or procedures, you may have similar issues with this procedure as threads will be inserted that slowly dissolve over time. If your disease is well-controlled, however, your risk of complications is lower.

Bruce E. Katz, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Please make sure you consult your provider before undergoing any treatment. As always please make sure you seek treatment from a board-certified dermatologist.
