Silhouette Instalift® is a new non-surgical, in-office procedure that uses dissolving thread sutures applied deep to the skin to reduce the appearance of aging skin to the mid-face or jawline area. The procedure is performed by your physician in under 45 minutes, and recovery time takes two to four days.

Of course, the goal of this treatment is to remove lines and lift sagging skin, and the InstaLift does not disappoint. The anti-aging effect on a patient experiencing mild-to-moderate aging effects can be comparable to the results seen in a surgical facelift.

$3,000 to $7,000 A Silhouette InstaLift® procedure can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $7,000. The actual cost of a Silhouette InstaLift® is dependent upon location, board certified plastic surgeon, and length and involvement of the plastic surgery.

Although the Silhouette Instalift® provides similar benefits to a surgical facelift, the results won't last as long as a surgical procedure. The results of Silhouette Instalift® last an average of 18 months.

Each InstaLift suture is composed of two degradable sugar materials, 1) a glycolic polymer called polyglycolic acid (PGA), and 2) poly-L-lactic acid (PLA or PLLA).

Face-lift technique The procedure can reduce sagging skin. It can also help smooth folds of skin on the cheeks and jawline. A face-lift is also called a rhytidectomy. During a face-lift, a flap of skin on each side of the face is pulled back. Tissues below the skin are altered, and excess skin is removed.

The Silhouette Instalift procedure involves anesthetizing entry points on the face and then inserting the tiny threaded biodegradable cones in and around the cheeks and jawline to tighten the skin gently. The cones provide instant lift and contour.

You should also try to prop your head up slightly so that you don't roll over directly onto your face while sleeping. Thread lifts are low risk, thanks to how noninvasive they are. There is virtually no risk of scarring, severe bruising, bleeding or other complications after having a thread lift.

Silhouette Instalift delivers some of the benefits of a conventional facelift – reducing gaunt cheeks, sagging jowls, or loose skin around the neck – and Silhouette Instalift also stimulates collagen production, which enhances your results and helps the skin retain a youthful look.

The threads that are used for the thread facelift have been specially created for the procedure. They are made from very safe materials that can actually be absorbed by your body. This material will be either polydioxanone or polylactic acid.

What provides the results that are visible in as little as as one minute is the added magnesium aluminum silicate, which is a mineral that comes from clay. This active ingredient is what may help your skin feel taut and firm - but the benefits that you can score from this treatment aren't just temporary!

A facelift can help address sagging skin, deep wrinkles and creases between the nose and mouth, wrinkles extending from the mouth to your chin, double chin, and issues with excess fat, all in one surgical procedure.

Potential complications include: visible sutures (especially in people with thin skin) pain. minor bruising.

Mild bruising and swelling may last 1 to 2 weeks as the skin heals. Potential complications of a thread lift procedure include: dimpling where the surgeon pulled the threads through. allergic reactions, especially to the threading material.

The deep plane facelift is generally considered the most comprehensive and long lasting type of facelift. This facelift involves the layer of muscles under your facial skin. These muscles are responsible for much of the drooping or sagging you may experience in your face as you age.

A face-lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure to create a younger look in the face. The procedure can reduce sagging skin. It can also help smooth folds of skin on the cheeks and jawline. A face-lift is also called a rhytidectomy.
