Silhouette Lift
Have you ever looked in the mirror and lifted up the skin on your face and wished it would stay there? When we age, our face and cheeks start to sag and we feel the passage of time. Therefore, with the revolutionary new Silhouette Lift, you will have the opportunity to regain a younger looking face without a general anesthetic, without hospitalization and without a long recovery time. The new and exciting non-surgical Silhouette Lift procedure is a safe, minimally invasive face-lift alternative that achieves face-lift-like results.
Silhouette Lift is a new face-lift technique that is performed with local anesthetic in less than 45 minutes and without any hospitalization. The recovery is immediate and allows you to return to normal activities within 2 days and after 2 weeks the face is recovered and is soft and natural, no sign of the procedure! The Silhouette Lift is not designed to replace a classic face lift. The Silhouette Lift procedure can be used to give you subtle, natural looking solutions by lifting sagging eyebrows, adjusting asymmetric brows, repositioning sagging cheeks and jowls, lift drooping soft tissues of the mid and lower face, tightening lax skin in body areas such as the abdomen and upper arms, and smoothing out premature skin aging. The common areas we see this looseness of the skin are the eyes, the brows, the jowls and neck, which results in a longer, older looking face. The Silhouette Lift uses threads as pulleys on the subcutaneous fat which is suspended and lifted to give skin a fuller, "higher" appearance. The Silhouette Lift offers an alternative that delivers almost as much a result via a procedure that is much lower in price, less risky, and with much less downtime.
The Silhouette Lift is different from other procedure because the sutures used for the Silhoutte Lift are made from polypropylene, a bio compatible material with the human body, and has been used extensively in cardiovascular and ophthalmic surgery. The sutures are FDA approved and also received the CE mark in Europe. Because the sutures do not require using barbs, they are easier to place and manipulate during the procedure, and more importantly, the sutures are not painful for the patient. The Silhouette Lift sutures are the most innovative sutures to date.
The procedure performed by Dr. Umar is performed under local anesthesia using FDA-approved Silhouette sutures. Silhouette sutures are made of non-absorbent 3-0 polypropylene strands which have several revolutionary advantages over conventional barbed sutures. Unlike other sutures, this barbless suture offers stronger anchoring, no pricking discomfort, and less chance of breaking and migrating, producing longer lasting, better results.
Some patients may require more traditional face lift procedures, or a combination of a traditional face lift with a Silhouette lift. Dr Umar would be able to help you with either.
