Silhouette Lift to help with Saggy Cheeks
May 7th, 2011 — sutures
Before Surgery: Patient concerned about saggy cheeks and the onset of Jowling. in a relatively young patient, with only mild degree of sag, a full facelift is considered too early and too invasive. the patient opted for a silhouette lift which is relatively non invasive
Surgery: under local anesthetic, 4 Silhouette sutures where used to lift each cheek and jowl. Counting both sides of the face, a total of 8 silhouette sutures were used by Dr Umar to accomplish the patients goal:
About Silhouette Face Lift:it is a 45-60 minutes procedure, done completely under anesthesia and requiring no hospitalization
How many times have you looked in the mirror?How many times have you wished for a miracle?from the age of 40, the face and cheeks start to sag and we feel the passage of time.Now, the revolutionary new Silhouette Lift gives you the opportunity to get back that face, that smile, that freshness that you like so much, without a general anesthetic, without hospitalization and without a long recovery time.Silhouette Lift is a new face-lift technique that is performed with local anesthetic in less than 45 minutes and without any hospitalization.the immediate recovery enables the patient to go back to normal activities within 2 days and after 2 weeks the face has recovered its soft and natural aspect, any sign of the procedure has disappeared.The procedure takes place in 4 stages :Insertion – Deployment – Anchoring – Suspension – FixationThe threads are inserted on the bias through a micro-incision in the temporal region.
These sutures are made from polypropylene, a biocompatible material with the human body which has been used for many years in cardiovascular and ophthalmic surgery.
The Silhouette Life sutures are the most innovative sutures to date. They are not barbed which avoids any tissue damage and thanks to small re-absorbable cones which anchor themselves in deep tissue, a tension is produced which lifts the sagging tissue
The fibrosis around the suture produces a much stronger suspension mechanism than traditional methods. the new Silhouette Lift sutures avoid problems of movement, breakage and pain which occur with barbed sutures. Silhouette Lift is ideal for correcting nasolabial folds, expression lines as well as the oval of the face, cheeks and neck.
The results are outstanding. Facial tiredness is erased, giving you a younger and very natural appearance for many years to come. Silhouette Lift is performed in one session only. it has no side effects and the results have proved systematically spectacular. Silhouette Lift is an efficient technique for both men and women. Already more than 1500 patients have chosen Silhouette Lift. Do not hesitate any longer. Thanks to Silhouette Lift, people will look at you differently. You will be perceived as younger but still very much yourself and only you will know the reason why.
