Silhouette InstaLift® Thread Lift

About InstaLift Thread Lifts

InstaLift is often described as a “mini facelift” option that uses resorbable sutures to lift and tighten sagging facial tissue, helping create a more youthful appearance without the downtime of traditional surgery. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

How It Works

Threads are placed in the subcutaneous tissue to reposition and support facial tissue. The cones help anchor the lift, and the material is designed to resorb over time. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Best Candidates

Candidates typically have good skin quality with moderate mid-face sagging. Very heavy skin or very thin tissue may not be ideal. We confirm candidacy during consultation. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Procedure Details

The procedure is performed in-office. Treatment areas are marked, and threads are placed to approximately 5mm depth in the mid-face. Many patients tolerate the treatment well, and the procedure is described as about 45 minutes. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}

What to Expect

After treatment, you can typically recover at home. Redness, bruising, and swelling around insertion points may occur for several days. Results can be visible immediately, with a smoother and more lifted appearance. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
