Benefits of Silhouette Soft Thread Liftv
A Silhouette Soft Thread Lift may come with the following benefits:
- Thread Lift is a minimally invasive procedure, which means there is less downtime than after surgeries
- Results of the Facial Thread Lift procedure continue to become visible with time
- Most patients are able to return back to back to work within 2 days of the procedure, unlike surgery, which involves a longer recovery
- The results of the treatment are often longer-lasting than Volume Treatments
Is Silhouette Soft Thread Lift Right for Me?
Silhouette Soft Thread Lift surgery is a highly customisable procedure. Dr Hunt will assess your facial features, medical history, and general health and plan a treatment that is suited to you.
Generally speaking, you may be a good candidate for Silhouette Soft Thread Lift if:
- You are experiencing early signs of ageing and skin laxity
- You are looking for a mild to moderate level of elevation & lifting
- You don’t have any severe signs of ageing like severe skin laxity or prominent jowls
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You are over 18 years of age
- You don’t have an autoimmune disease
About Silhouette Soft Thread Lift
Silhouette Soft Thread Lift involves placing a thin biodegradable thread under the skin to treat skin laxity and descent of facial tissue due to ageing.
After carefully assessing your skin, Dr Hunt will inform you about the Thread Lift Procedure, results, and what to expect from the treatment.
When you come in for the treatment, you’ll have the opportunity to complete the consenting process. Your face will be cleaned thoroughly to ensure there are no traces of dirt and makeup on your face. Then, your face will be numbed using local anaesthesia. The entire procedure should take around 45 minutes. Dr Hunt will carefully place the threads under the skin with the help of a fine needle and pass them under the skin in the direction of the intended lift. Your skin will be lightly massaged upward where the cones hold the sutures in place. Once the procedure is complete, it is best to rest for at least a few hours.
Silhouette Soft Thread Lift Aftercare
It is best to take 2 to 3 days off from work and avoid strenuous activities and social engagements. Please follow the aftercare instructions given by Dr Hunt.
Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising around the area treated, which can last from a few days to a week.
Please adhere to these instructions after treatment:
- Take painkillers prescribed by Dr Hunt to help with any discomfort post-surgery
- Sleep on your back with your head in a slightly elevated position and avoid putting any pressure on the treatment site
- Be very careful and gentle while washing, shaving, and drying your face. Do not rub your skin
- It is best to avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 to 48 hours after the treatment
- Do not get any facial massages or aesthetic treatments for 4 weeks after the treatment
- Stay clear of high-intensity workouts for at least 2 weeks after the treatment
- Do not use saunas and steam rooms for at least 3 weeks
- Avoid visiting the dentist for at least a month after treatment
Most patients are able to resume work within a couple of days without any problem. The precise downtime varies from patient to patient, and Dr Hunt will advise you accordingly.
How to Find a Good Thread Lift Surgeon in Sydney
Choosing the right surgeon for your Thread Lift Facial Procedure is one of the most important steps.
An experienced plastic surgeon can help you achieve results and minimise the risks and complications (although not eliminate risks completely).
Make sure to take your time in choosing the right plastic surgeon for your Thread Lift. The plastic surgeon should be someone you can connect with and speak freely and honestly about your goals and expectations. You can start the process by creating a list of surgeons in your area based on their credentials and experience. Next, you can narrow down the list by looking at their online reviews.
Make sure to look at the before and after photographs of different patients. You can either find them on the surgeon’s website or request them during the consultation.
Last but not least, trust your gut. Pay attention to how you feel and connect with a particular surgeon. Do you feel comfortable? Is the surgeon able to answer all your queries? Do you trust them with your face? If the answer is yes, choose that surgeon. Otherwise, keep looking.
