While dermal fillers and neurotoxins are both effective for facial enhancement, many people want a more dramatic immediate change in the midface and cheeks, as these areas are often among the first to sag. Our solution, the Silhouette InstaLift™, is an FDA-cleared absorbable suture for cosmetic use. This instant facelift provides instant and lasting elevation to the midface and cheeks, and treatment only takes about an hour in our Chicago offices in Old Town, Lincoln Park, and Bucktown. Here’s what you can expect from the treatment process.
How Silhouette InstaLift Works
Utilizing advanced Micro-Suspension Technology™, the instant facelift process involves injecting absorbable thread sutures beneath the skin. These threads have tiny bidirectional microcones that grip the skin’s support tissues, instantly lifting sagging areas.
As the threads dissolve over time, they stimulate your body to produce collagen. This natural protein helps maintain the lifted appearance and adds natural volume to your cheeks and midface.
The Silhouette InstaLift Treatment Process
First, we map your cheeks and midface, creating a diagram of where your sutures will go. We tailor mapping to your appearance goals and unique facial anatomy. Next, we administer a local anesthetic to keep you comfortable during treatment. Once you’re numbed up, we deliver the threads beneath your skin using the map.
As threads grip the skin support tissues, the skin lifts, creating a revitalized look instantly. We lightly massage your face as we insert the threads to ensure they’re in optimal positions. You can return home immediately. It’s normal to experience skin discoloration, swelling, and tenderness for a day or two, but it subsides quickly.
You can resume your activities whenever you’re ready. Most patients have very little downtime. Because Silhouette InstaLift thread stimulates collagen production, results could last nearly two years.
