Why can't you jog for 2 weeks after Silhouette thread procedure?

Question

Lydia Badia, MD · Answer

Silhouette Soft bidirectional cones are implanted fully resorbable sutures and the post treatment recommendations of avoiding excessive face and neck movements and avoiding high impact sports are to avoid dislodging of the cones

Steven H. Dayan, MD · Answer

Dear Stokkies,
Thank you for your question. We typically advise patients to refrain from heavy lifting and strenuous activity for 2 weeks after the procedure, as this is the most immediate process of healing with the sutures taking in to the tissue. Otherwise, the downtime and recovery from this procedure is much less compared to a facelift.

Bruce E. Katz, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. InstaLift
has absorbable lift sutures that tighten the skin and stimulate collagen as
they dissolve over time. I usually recommend patients to stay away from
strenuous activity for at least 2 weeks so the sutures can settle in the face.
For more information, I recommend getting a in person consultation from a
board-certified dermatologist.

Wayne Wertheim, MD · Answer

it is to err on the side of safety. the less jostling of your face the better chance of maintaining good results. it takes about 2 weeks to incorporate the sutures into the tissue.

Mary Beth Mudd, MD · Answer

Great question! Placement of the Silhouette threads causes the tissues to be lifted and suspended through the thread and attached cones "catching on" the tissues. It is possible that  vigorous exercise such as jogging could cause enough movement of the facial tissues to allow the cones to slip and lose the lifted effect. After 2-3 weeks, the threads/cones have attached securely enough that this is not a problem.  Best wishes,  Mary Beth Mudd
