Silhouette Soft Face Lift

The Silhouette Soft Face Lift is a non-surgical lifting treatment that uses biodegradable sutures to redefine and tighten the facial contours. Fine threads with small absorbable cones are carefully placed beneath the skin, lifting the face immediately while stimulating the skin’s natural collagen production over time.

The result is a more youthful, contoured appearance with improved skin firmness and texture. Treatment takes around 30 minutes, and results can last up to 18 months.

What to Expect

Your treatment begins with a consultation, during which your doctor will assess your facial structure, discuss the areas you would like to address, and confirm suitability. Silhouette Soft is not recommended for those under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding, or those with autoimmune conditions or active infections. Your doctor will explain the approach in detail and ensure you have realistic expectations before any treatment takes place.

On the day, a local anaesthetic is administered to ensure comfort throughout. Fine biodegradable sutures with small absorbable cones are then carefully inserted beneath the skin and gently pulled to lift and redefine facial contours. The cones grip the collagen beneath the skin to create an immediate lifting effect. Over the following weeks, the body’s natural response to the sutures encourages collagen growth, further improving skin firmness and texture. The session takes around 30 minutes, and most patients experience only mild swelling or bruising afterwards.

Benefits of Silhouette Soft Face Lift

Silhouette Soft works through a dual mechanism that sets it apart from other non-surgical lifting options. The cones on the sutures grip the collagen beneath the skin to produce an immediate repositioning effect, while the body’s natural foreign body response gradually stimulates new collagen production around the threads. This means results not only appear straight away but continue to improve in the months that follow.

It is particularly well suited to those who have noticed sagging or loss of definition along the jawline, cheeks or neck and want a meaningful result without committing to surgery. The sutures are fully biodegradable and break down naturally over time, leaving no permanent material in the skin. Results typically last between 12 and 18 months, making it one of the longer-lasting non-surgical options available.

Post-Treatment Care & Side Effects

Recovery from Silhouette Soft is minimal, but following the aftercare guidance carefully in the weeks after treatment is important to protect your results and support healing. Your doctor will go through everything with you before you leave.

  • Apply cold packs to the treated area immediately after treatment if needed
  • Take paracetamol for any mild discomfort, avoid ibuprofen and aspirin
  • Avoid applying makeup for at least 24 hours
  • Sleep face up with your head elevated for 3 to 5 nights
  • Wash and dry the face gently, no massaging or rubbing for 5 days
  • Avoid excessive head and neck movements for 2 weeks
  • Avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds for 2 weeks
  • Avoid sport, particularly running, for 2 weeks
  • Avoid saunas for 2 weeks
  • Avoid dental procedures for 3 weeks
  • Avoid facial massage and other aesthetic treatments for 4 weeks

Silhouette Soft is well tolerated by most patients. Side effects are generally mild and short-lived.
Common temporary side effects include:

  • Mild swelling and tenderness in the treated areas
  • Light bruising at the insertion points
  • A temporary sensation of tightness as the skin adjusts

These effects typically resolve within a few days to a week. If you experience any pain beyond mild discomfort, paracetamol is recommended. All potential side effects will be discussed in full during your consultation.

Silhouette Soft Face Lift Results Timeline

  • Immediately after treatment: A visible lift and repositioning of the facial contours is noticeable straight away. Mild swelling or bruising may also be present.
  • Days 3 to 7: Initial swelling settles. The lift appears more natural and refined as the tissue adjusts to the sutures.
  • Weeks 2 to 4: The collagen stimulation process begins. Skin firmness and texture start to improve progressively around the treated areas.
  • Months 2 to 3: Collagen continues to build around the sutures. Skin quality improves noticeably, with the face appearing firmer, smoother and more youthful.
  • 12 to 18 months: Results are maintained as the sutures gradually absorb. A follow-up treatment at this stage can renew and sustain the lifting effect.

The Silhouette Soft Face Lift appeals to patients who want a result that is immediate but also improves with time. The combination of instant lift and progressive collagen renewal means the face continues to look better in the months following treatment, not just immediately after.

Silhouette Soft Face Lift FAQs

The Silhouette Soft Face Lift is a minimally invasive procedure using biodegradable sutures embedded with cones to lift and redefine facial contours. This treatment not only provides immediate lifting effects but also stimulates collagen production over time for a more youthful appearance.
The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes. It involves applying a local anaesthetic and inserting the sutures under the skin to achieve the desired lift.
This treatment is ideal for individuals looking to combat the signs of ageing without undergoing invasive surgery. It is not suitable for those under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or individuals with autoimmune diseases or infections.
Patients can see immediate lifting effects after the procedure. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur but usually subsides within a few days. Normal activities can be resumed shortly after the procedure with minimal downtime.
The results of a Silhouette Soft Face Lift can last up to 18 months. The duration of the results can vary depending on individual factors such as age, skin type, and lifestyle.
