What is a Silhouette Lift®?
Silhouette Lift is a new technique developed for use with Silhouette Sutures, the only FDA
approved sutures for mid face lift. This minimally invasive technique is used to lift and
reposition sagging tissue. The Silhouette Sutures offer a significant lift due to their unique
absorbable cones, which provide a strong traction when lifting the mid face. The Silhouette
Sutures are attached to the temporal fascia. To achieve this, a small incision is made above the
hairline, where the sutures are anchored.
Am I the ideal patient for a Silhouette Lift?
If you are over 38/ 40 years old and have started experiencing facial sagging and less
sharpness in the oval of your face then you will benefit from Silhouette Lift, provided you
follow the advice of a qualifed aesthetic doctor or plastic surgeon.
Does a Silhouette Lift require a general anesthetic or hospitalization?
A Silhouette Lift is performed under local anesthetic in the practice of your surgeon without
the need of hospitalization.
How long is the procedure?
The procedure takes less than 45 minutes for the face and less than 25 minutes for the neck.
What reassurance do I have with the Silhouette Sutures?
The Silhouette Sutures have been approved by the US FDA and have received the CE mark.
These approvals are unique in the market.
How long is the recovery time?
Patients can go back to their normal activities within two days but it usually takes ten days for
the skin to fully recover its natural aspect and for all marks to disappear.
