Areas of the Body Suitable for Thread Lift
A Silhouette Thread Lift can be applied to the following areas, where it may provide improved skin appearance:
Facial Areas
- Cheeks: Addresses sagging in the cheek area.
- Jawline: Provides improved jawline definition.
- Jowls: Targets skin laxity around the lower face.
- Neck: Can help with skin laxity and wrinkles in the neck area.
- Eyebrows: Can help to lift the brows, potentially enhancing the eye area.
Body Areas
- Décolletage: Addresses fine lines in the chest area.
- Arms: Can help improve skin appearance on the upper arms.
- Buttocks: May improve the appearance of sagging.
- Abdomen: Provides an option for addressing skin laxity on the abdomen.
Potential Risks of Silhouette Thread Lift
Understanding potential risks allows you to make an informed decision:
- Infection: Though uncommon, there is a slight risk of infection at the thread insertion points, which we minimise through strict hygiene protocols.
- Discomfort: Some patients report temporary discomfort or a pulling sensation immediately post-procedure; this typically resolves within days.
- Asymmetry: Mild asymmetry may occasionally occur but can often be managed in follow-up appointments.
- Visible Threads: Threads are designed to remain discreet, but risk exists that they may become visible. This is typically addressed during follow-ups.
- Allergic Reaction: Rarely, some individuals may experience an allergic reaction to the materials used in the threads.
- Thread Migration: Threads may rarely shift from their original placement, and if so, can often be repositioned through a minor adjustment.
- Numbness: Temporary numbness or altered sensation may occur but generally subsides over time.
Using a qualified health practitioner can help minimise these risks, which may vary between patients.
Pre-treatment Consultation
During the consultation, our doctor will discuss your treatment goals and provide information about the procedure, ensuring your plan aligns with realistic expectations.
Treatment
Dissolvable threads are inserted beneath the skin’s surface in targeted areas. After placement, our doctor performs a gentle compression to complete the process.
Recovery and Aftercare
After the procedure, we offer guidance on post-treatment care, such as avoiding direct pressure on the area immediately afterward. Recovery time varies by individual, and following our instructions will support a smoother recovery.
Gradual Improvement
A notable aspect of the Silhouette Thread Lift is the gradual improvement over time as collagen production increases, leading to progressive changes in the treated areas.
Silhouette Thread Lift Cost
The cost for a Silhouette Thread Lift may vary depending on individual treatment requirements and the number of threads used. During your consultation, we provide a tailored quotation and discuss potential financing options.
