Generally speaking you want to have an experienced surgeon or specialist in facial plastic rejuvenation attend to your face.  The placement of the sutures is crucial as well as the ability to understand the underlying facial laxity.  The end results are what counts so choose wisely.

Dear 24nancy1,
Thank you for your question. It is not uncommon to have some soreness after the Silhouette Instalift procedure. If this symptom is persisting after several days or is worse and is associated with possible signs of infection such as redness and swelling, it is important for your friend or another medical provider who routinely performs this procedure to evaluate you. You may want to consider re-evaluation in a few weeks or a month to make sure you are healing as expected.

Thank you for your question. Silhouette InstaLift is a minimally invasive procedure that is able to target the deeper layers of skin on a patient’s face and neck. This new target area makes the procedure stand out from existing procedures that only treat the surface or outer layers of the skin. It is always best to seek treatment from a board-certified dermatologist.
