About Silhouette InstaLift
Silhouette Instalift is a non-surgical facelift procedure that uses specially designed sutures to add volume and lift sagging areas of the face. As we age, our skin strength decreases, leading to changes in the shape and appearance of our face. Silhouette Instalift is a minimally invasive option to counteract these changes and restore a more youthful contour.
Procedure
The first step of any treatment at our practice is to have a consultation with Dr. Fan. During this consultation, he will evaluate your facial structure, discuss your goals, and determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.
On the day of the procedure, local anesthesia will be administered to ensure your comfort. This means that you will be awake but will not feel any pain during the procedure. Once the anesthesia has taken effect, Dr. Fan will begin the placement of the Silhouette InstaLift sutures. These sutures are made from a well-known polymer used in medical devices and are FDA-cleared for use in this procedure.
The sutures are strategically placed to lift sagging areas and add volume to your face, resulting in a younger and refreshed appearance. The sutures also stimulate natural collagen production, which helps to gradually restore lost facial volume over time.
The entire Silhouette InstaLift procedure can be completed in about 45 minutes, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. After the procedure, you may experience minor pain, swelling, and bruising, but these effects are generally minimal and subside within a few days.
Am I a candidate for Silhouette Instalift?
Ideal candidates for Silhouette Instalift are individuals who have visible signs of facial aging, such as sagging jowls, a sagging jawline, sunken cheeks, and wrinkles or folds around the nose and mouth. Good skin elasticity and mild to moderate skin laxity are important for optimal results. Additionally, candidates should be in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations for the procedure.
Recovery
After the Silhouette Instalift procedure, some minor pain, swelling, and bruising may be experienced. However, these side effects are temporary and typically subside within 2-4 days. Recovery time is minimal, allowing you to resume your normal activities relatively quickly. Dr. Fan will provide you with specific aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
