Minimally Invasive Way to Lift Mid-Facial Skin

Cosmetic medical techniques have advanced greatly in recent years. Many aspects of facial aging can be addressed with safe and effective procedures that offer little downtime and natural-looking results. While wrinkles, brown spots, and lost volume can be treated with existing procedures, until now there has been no minimally invasive way to lift the deeper layers of mid-facial skin, one of the major contributors to an aged and tired appearance.

Combination therapy may be recommended for optimal cosmetic results, all of these options will be discussed with you during your consultation to meet your individualized needs. We are excited to offer Silhouette Instalift to our patients who “need a lift” and want facial rejuvenation without the anesthesia, incisions, scarring, and recovery time of a traditional facelift surgery.

How Silhouette InstaLift Works

Silhouette InstaLift is a non-invasive alternative to a traditional surgical facelift. It helps to address volume loss as well as skin laxity by not only lifting the skin, but also through long-term collagen production. Specially formulated dissolvable sutures with bi-directional cones are used to mechanically fix deep tissue until collagen production ensures biological tissue fixation.

The lifting caused by InstaLift can be more finely controlled. Combined, these advantages result in long-lasting results, while avoiding the potential side effects once experienced by patients who chose previous versions of thread lifting using permanent sutures.

Silhouette InstaLift Procedure

Silhouette InstaLift is an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia. You will remain awake and alert during the procedure, but will be unaware of any pain. The procedure takes about one hour and is performed in our office surgical suite. You will be able to leave immediately following the procedure.

For facial rejuvenation, Dr. Serrão will inject a small amount of local anesthetic to ensure your comfort during the entire Silhouette InstaLift procedure. No incisions will be made and our patients describe the procedure to be very comfortable. Depending on the desired lift and Dr. Serrão’s assessment, the recommended number of Silhouette sutures will be inserted and pulled back to lift the lower and mid face.

Another major benefit of the Silhouette InstaLift non-surgical facelift is the lack of any major downtime. Most patients experience some mild soreness, minimal swelling and slight bruising following the procedure. You can resume normal activities within two to four days. Expect about 10 to 14 days for the skin to fully recover to its natural aspect. Our caring team will provide you with all pre-procedure and post-procedure instructions.

Alternative to Traditional Facelift

Starting around age 40, many people start to notice a sagging in the cheeks and face. Traditionally, the only option to improve the tightness of facial tissue was with a surgical facelift. Today, the face can be reshaped using a minimally invasive procedure known as Silhouette InstaLift.

This innovative technique is an excellent alternative to facelift, as it lifts sagging facial tissue and redefines the contours of the face without major surgery — all in about one hour with virtually no downtime.

Traditional Facelift Procedure

The traditional facelift is a major surgical procedure that is performed in a hospital or surgical center. General anesthesia is required to keep the patient comfortable during the surgery. We will make a small incision along the hairline and behind the ear lobe. The skin is loosened from the face and pulled outward to expose underlying muscle and connective tissue. The skin is then re-positioned and sutured into place. Excess skin and fat are trimmed away. Staples or additional sutures may be used to secure the results and promote healing. The face is wrapped in surgical gauze to cover the incision site for one to two days. After one week, the sutures are removed. Complete healing takes about two to four weeks.

Alternatives to Facelift

There are many alternatives to facelift, depending on your age, skin condition, and goals. Some of these procedures will not replace or deliver the results of a traditional facelift if you are not an ideal candidate for these alternative procedures.

Alternatives include:

• Injectables such as Botox^® and facial fillers
• Skin tightening procedures
• Fat transfer
• Mini facelift
• Silhouette InstaLift

Silhouette InstaLift is quickly becoming the best alternative to a traditional facelift, offering exceptional results with minimal downtime and recovery at a fraction of the cost. Compared to other options such as injectables, Silhouette InstaLift is much longer lasting with natural-looking results.

Silhouette InstaLift vs. Traditional Facelift

Silhouette InstaLift offers a number of benefits compared to a traditional facelift, including:

• Minimally invasive procedure without the need for surgery and incisions
• In-office procedure under local anesthesia vs. hospital setting with general anesthesia
• More affordable — Silhouette InstaLift is a fraction of the cost of traditional facelift
• Less downtime — Return to normal activities in two to four days
• Immediate results
• Quicker recovery — Full results in 10 days
• Natural looking without that “pulled” or “wind blown” look
• Safe and effective FDA-approved procedure

Experience In Thread Lifting Procedures

Dr. Serrão has been performing thread lifts for years and was an instructor for the original Silhouette Lift. InstaLift provides a vast improvement thanks to the use of dissolvable threads and cones made up of a synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid, which is also used in Sculptra Aesthetic, a favorite volumizer used by many of our patients.

This material slowly disintegrates as the body creates scar tissues, which provides a natural lift for the face where the sutures were originally placed. The InstaLift sutures stimulate collagen production, allowing for a regenerative effect that means the skin will continue to look healthier, firmer, plumper and more youthful over time. The Silhouette InstaLift is the facelift that keeps on working after the initial procedure. Dr. Serrão is a Preferred Provider of the Silhouette InstaLift.
