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: 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.

Answer: Silhouette Lift: lifts the most from your wallet
If you are not ready for a face lift, use your money toward facial injectables or fat grafting. Suspension lifts have very poor short-term and long-term results an din general have the least amount of value (improvement for the dollar spent)

Answer: Face Lift
I am not a big supporter of the thread lifts. We do not offer that procedure due to the low percentage of sustained benefit. There are some who do get prolonged benefit, but the numbers are small from the ones we see. I would consider a mini lift if you can visit a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and they recommend a facelift.
