Can silhouette soft threads with cones be removed after insertion?

There is often puckering for a week or less after threadlifting such as with InstaLift Silhouette threads. It is more difficult to remove them then insert them and there could be minimal trauma to the skin to gain access to the thread which could cause a small scar or indentation or hyperpigmentation of the skin's color (darker). In some cases it is the best scenario to insert new threads without removing the old ones provided there is no contour change issue in the skin from the first set of threads. 

Thank you for sharing.
Having silhouette soft threads can be a shock to the patient as the puckering on the skin often does not look nice and can last for around 3-5 days. It is however a normal part of the treatment and it will improve on its own. It should have been explained to you by your treating doctor that you should not massage or touch the threads in the face, as although the puckering on the skin does not look very nice it is important to the overall treatment result. By massaging it away you will reduce the benefit of the threads, that said I suggest you do not try to have them removed as they produce collagen when left in the face and that will be beneficial to you. There are also risks involved to removing them. 

Hope this helps and best wishes,

To be very honest, it is very difficult to remove silhouette soft threads after insertion. In that matter, any thread that once put is difficult to remove, so before undergoing the procedure, make sure to understand all pros & cons of the procedure.
