Silhouette Facelift
The silhouette threads face lift is a new minimally invasive cosmetic surgery technique that can restore a younger appearance. The thread lift is used for the face, to treat lines around the jaw and nose. It is also used for sagging skin on the neck, and as an eyebrows lift. A silhouette thread lift lasts between five and seven years.
About
The procedure is performed using a local anaesthetic. There may be some bruising and swelling, usually lasting up to a week. Although, infection is rare a course of antibiotics is prescribed as a precaution. Sometimes the area may feel numb but this settles once the thread is encapsulated in scar tissue.
The treatment is performed as a day case with local anaesthetic.
The silhouette face lift uses specialised surgical threads to lift up soft, sagging tissues. The threads, made of extra-strong polymer, are slipped down from an incision at the temple, and then attached at the jowls and the folds around the nose.
The procedure takes one to two hours, depending on the number of threads used and the areas to be treated.
The threads are very durable, and can stay in soft tissues indefinitely. The anchoring cones are designed to be gradually broken down by the body, by which time scar tissue binds to the threads, and keep them in place.
