Your question is so popular and there is much confusion as to Silhouette Instalift and the many previous thread lifts. As an injection specialist, a doctor who has chosen a very isolated focus on the dermal filler treatments and non-surgical treatments, I find the Silhouette Instalift an ideal and very exciting treatment to provide patients. The bidirectional cones and knotted thread made of completely dissolvable poly l lactic acid (the identical material of…

I am of the opinion that a patient 5 years post full facelift, does not have a significant amount of loose skin and believe that this procedure may be an ideal option for you. The silhouette instalift may be used in the mid face jawline, neck, and even forehead area and provides an average of 1-2 mm. lift. As importantly, because it’s made of poly-l-lactic acid, it will provide volume collagen stimulation which is so important to a youthful appearance. Sight unseen,…

I believe you would appreciate the results from either Kybella or CoolSculpting. You will see a reduction in the area of concern and in our experience, we’ve not seen significant changes in the skin laxity or greater sagging with our patients. We aren’t able to assess you in person, however I would encourage you to discuss the skin tightening treatment options as well, because your concern is valid. Many of our patients choose to do a combination to further tighten…

As well, several of our female staff have been treated and share openly with myself and with prospective patients, their experiences. In every case scenario, the initial series of therapy (3-4 treatments most commonly)…

Thank you for asking this question! Dysport (or Botox) can be used to treat isolated areas (muscles), or multiple areas (muscles) during a treatment appointment. IF we treat some, and not all muscles in an area, you may notice some unfamiliar or unnatural movement, particularly after the product has taken full affect. When the product affects the treated muscles, the muscles surrounding the treated area are recruited and may cause…

I appreciate that you’ve shared a photo along with your questions- good ones by the way… and apologize that I can’t use the photo entirely to make recommendations. Based on the feedback from one physician regarding a .5 cc Voluma per side, I think this is conservative and could offer you improvement and a very natural looking outcome. I love Voluma for many reasons, but also would encourage you to pursue a specialist who provides Sculptra. Based on your…
