Silhouette InstaLift

If you're experiencing early signs of aging, and want to dramatically lift, sculpt and firm the features of your face, Silhouette InstaLift in Honolulu, Hawaii may be perfect for you!

If you’re beginning to notice the early signs of facial aging, but you’re not ready for a facelift, there is an alternative that can provide many similar benefits–without a surgical procedure. Facial sagging and volume loss can cause you to look much older than you are, and we understand the desire to firm and sculpt your features. We provide the minimally-invasive Silhouette InstaLift procedure for patients who would like to see a more youthful, lifted facial appearance.

What is Silhouette InstaLift?

Silhouette InstaLift are FDA-approved, permanent sutures that lift the deep tissues of the face and help to increase and restore midface volume, providing a naturally youthful appearance.

Silhouette InstaLift sutures are made from a polymer commonly used in other biomedical products that are well tolerated by the body, and over time, can be harmlessly absorbed. These sutures lift and reposition the deep structures of the skin with a series of bi-directional cones that lift, elevate and anchor the skin’s surface into a more youthful contour.

The suture stimulates the body to produce collagen, which remodels the tissues and skin to naturally achieve more volume, further reduce wrinkles, and complement the lifted appearance.

Who is a candidate for Silhouette InstaLift?

Anyone who would like to dramatically lift, sculpt and firm their features may be a good candidate for Silhouette InstaLift. Ideal candidates for Silhouette InstaLift have the following characteristics:

Are generally in good health
Have skin that has not become overly thin

Have early sagging skin of the mid-face, jawline, and neck
Have a loss of facial volume
Prefer a non-surgical approach to facial lifting
Have realistic expectations about what this procedure can accomplish

What happens during the procedure?

We will provide a local anesthetic and mark the areas where the sutures will be inserted. Once the anesthesia has taken effect, the end of the suture will be gently passed through the deep tissue. This instantly lifts and secures the tissues thanks to the anchoring effect of the bi-directional cones, which intertwine with your natural tissue.

Each marked area will be treated in this same way until all of the sutures are firmly in place. The Silhouette InstaLift procedure takes 30 minutes to complete.
