SILHOUETTE NECK INSTALIFT™ IN SANTA BARBARA – THREAD LIFT – NECK LIFT UNDER LOCAL ANESTHESIA

Silhouette Neck Lift is a minimally invasive procedure that relies on the absorbable suture and small cones to engage the subcutaneous tissue. The FDA approved it in 2015 for use to tighten or to lift the sagging skin of the face and cheek region. Similar procedures are also conducted for the brow region. This process will use an advance thread and a cone that is bio-absorbable by creating a small incision behind your ear. The sutures will serve as a support on the tissue, and your body will eventually absorb the cones after 10-12 weeks which will allow the threads to create that lifting effect. Sutures are commonly made of Poly/Glycolide/l-lactide strands and cones that are absorbable.  Discover your youthful look.  Silhouette thread lift can help tighten the sagging skin of the face and cheek region which results in a more youthful appearance.
