I am considering the Silhouette lift. I understand that the results will only last around 3 years. As I am (according to my surgeon) probably about 6 years out from needing a real mini face lift, I want to know of anyone who has experience of retightening the threads. I know the Silhouette people say it's *possible*, but has anyone actually done it? My surgeon doesn't believe putting *more* threads in, in 3 years time is a good option and I agree.
Answer: I have a better idea--how about using that money for a cruise?

CONTACT NOW Answer: Silhouette Lift: Experience of Re-tightening Coned-threads? Thank you for your question. The Silhouette Lift consists of small entry points made in your skin by a needle. There is no scalpel used. No incision scars. This is all good news if someday you might need or want a formal facelift/necklift. You can also receive another Silhouette Lift a couple years after the first if you are still not ready/not a candidate for a facelift The material is the same that we use with Sculptra injectable. Often Sculptra patients will come back every few years for a touch up. Volume can also work well with other modalities, (Juvederm, Volluma, etc.). The choice between modalities depends on how much these issues bother you, how aggressive you want to be, and your anatomy. Again, one should do a proper history and physical exam to see if you are a candidate. Best to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Otolaryngologist, (ENT). They will be able to let you know what might work best in your case, (Silhouette Lift vs. Fillers vs. Surgery), as they do all of the above. Please call with any questions.Jeffrey J.

Answer: Silhouette InstaLift™ threads cannot be re-tightened. Thank you for your question. The threads used during Silhouette InstaLift™ procedures typically dissolve at around the 18-month mark. Therefore, it’s not possible to tighten the threads, but it is technically possible to add more for a touch-up procedure. I suggest consulting with a surgeon who is knowledgeable about the procedure before making your choice. Good luck!

Answer: Silhouette Instalift Thank you for your question. The silhouette Instalift is a minimally invasive procedure that helps to support some of lax facial tissues that onset with aging. It is one of several options that are available to help address the aging process. Specifically, it helps to soften areas of the face including the nasolabial folds and the marionette region or the jowls. Resorbable bidirectional sutures with cones are used to recruit the tissue laxity away from these areas of concerns. The procedure is done in-office with local anesthesia. I use this in conjunction with other non-invasive medical treatments such as Injectables, lasers, and other collagen stimulating energy devices. As with many non-surgical procedures, they can serve to help age gracefully and delay or obviate the need for surgery to help meet your aesthetic goals.

Answer: Silhouette lift? Thank you for your question. There are many branded "lifts" on the market, so this can be very confusing. some can refer to minimally invasive facelift techniques such as a variation on a thread lift. These techniques are best suited to patients with mild aging changes. Moderate to severe aging changes would more likely benefit from a more traditional facelift. I would recommend consultation with a facial plastic surgeon to discuss what option is best for you."This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion. Seek in-person treatment with a trained medical professional for appropriate care."
