A Silhouette Soft thread lift is a cosmetic procedure that uses bio-resorbable sutures with bi-directional cones to reposition facial tissue, usually in the mid-face or jawline. Dr Lee explains that it is not a replacement for a surgical facelift, that risks include bruising, swelling and infection, and that results vary. A consultation is needed to assess suitability.
Hi. I'm Dr. Chris Lee from Levant Cosmetic Surgery Canberra. With over 16 years of experience in facial aesthetics, one of the most common questions I get is about Silhouette Soft Thread Lifts. Silhouette Soft is a minimally invasive treatment. We use bio-resorbable sutures with bi-directional cones to lift and reposition sagging tissues, usually in the mid-face or jawline. The procedure aims to provide an immediate lift, but while also stimulating your own collagen over time.
However, it is important to note that this is not a replacement for a surgical facelift. There are risks involved. These can include bruising, swelling, and infection. Results do vary by the patient. A consultation is essential to assess whether you're suitable for this procedure. Do come and see me and book with the details below.
In this video, Dr Christopher Lee (MED0000947000, Registered Medical Practitioner: General) explains what a Silhouette Soft thread lift involves. Below is some background to help you understand the topic before you speak with a practitioner.
A Silhouette Soft thread lift is a cosmetic procedure in which bio-resorbable sutures with bi-directional cones are placed under the skin to lift and reposition facial tissue, usually in the mid-face or jawline.
Dr Lee explains that the procedure aims to lift the tissue, and that it may stimulate your own collagen over time. It is important to note that it is not a replacement for a surgical facelift, and results vary between patients. Because the sutures are absorbed by the body over time, any change is not permanent.
There are risks involved, which Dr Lee notes can include bruising, swelling and infection. Other potential complications can include pain, asymmetry, dimpling of the skin and sutures that can be seen or felt under the skin. Recovery times and outcomes vary between individuals.
