Silhouette InstaLift® at Avante Plastic Surgery offers a minimally invasive way to lift sagging cheeks, soften nasolabial folds, and restore youthful facial definition. Using absorbable sutures, this technique precisely elevates your tissue and stimulates collagen for a natural-looking support. It’s an effective option if you want a noticeable lift without surgery.
About
Aging naturally affects the deeper facial structures, causing the fat pads in your midface to descend and the supportive ligaments in your cheeks to loosen. This creates flattened cheeks, deeper nasolabial folds, and early jowling. When these foundational elements shift, your facial contours appear less defined, even if your skin quality remains good.
Silhouette InstaLift is a minimally invasive procedure that helps reposition these descended tissues without surgery. It uses absorbable sutures equipped with tiny, bidirectional cones that anchor within the deeper layers of your skin. Once placed, the sutures gently lift sagging areas along planned vectors while stimulating collagen production as they dissolve. This provides both an immediate elevation and ongoing structural support, creating a refreshed, naturally lifted appearance with minimal downtime.
Benefits
Silhouette InstaLift offers immediate lift and gradual collagen stimulation, making it an appealing option for those seeking noticeable improvement without the commitment of surgery. Its design supports both structural repositioning and long-term skin quality enhancement, allowing for subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation.
Its benefits include:
- Providing an instant, visible lift to sagging midface tissues
- Softening nasolabial folds and early jowling
- Stimulating collagen for ongoing firmness and support
- Minimally invasive alternative to traditional facelift surgery
- Requiring only local anesthesia and minimal downtime
- Creating refreshed contours without altering your natural facial character
Candidates
Silhouette InstaLift is best suited for individuals who want a noticeable yet natural lift without committing to surgery. It works particularly well for those experiencing early signs of facial descent but who still have good skin quality and realistic expectations.
You may be a good candidate for Silhouette InstaLift if:
- You have mild to moderate midface sagging or early jowling
- You want to soften nasolabial folds without adding excessive volume
- You prefer a minimally invasive treatment with a quick recovery
- You maintain good skin elasticity for effective tissue repositioning
- You are in overall good health and free of active infections or bleeding disorders
- You do not have severe skin laxity that would be better addressed surgically
- You understand the expected results and want subtle, natural-looking enhancements
Procedure
During your Silhouette InstaLift procedure, your provider begins by mapping precise lift vectors that match your facial anatomy. After numbing the area, they insert absorbable sutures beneath your skin using a fine, flexible cannula. Each suture contains tiny cones that anchor gently into the tissue, allowing your provider to lift and reposition sagging areas. Once the sutures are in place, the provider adjusts the tension to refine your contours and create an immediate lift.
Recovery
After your Silhouette InstaLift, you can expect mild swelling, tenderness, and small entry-point marks for 3 to 5 days. You should avoid heavy chewing, vigorous exercise, and exaggerated facial movements for about 7 to 10 days to allow the sutures to settle. Sleeping on your back with your head elevated for the first few nights helps minimize pressure on the treated areas. You can also use cold compresses to aid in the healing process.
Results
You’ll notice an immediate lift after your Silhouette InstaLift, with your facial contour continuing to refine as collagen forms over the next 2 to 3 months. Most patients enjoy their results for 18 to 24 months, depending on their skin quality and lifestyle factors. You can repeat the treatment once the lift gradually softens or combine it with other non-surgical procedures to maintain a refreshed appearance over time.
