Silhouette Soft

Reposition Fat and Lift Sagging Skin in Chicago and Winnetka

Youthful facial contours are able to effectively resist the downward pull of gravity, but changes to skin and fat and their supporting structures over time cause tissues to gradually succumb. This leads to sagging and the formation of folds. Silhouette Soft is a nonsurgical solution to this common problem, using internal sutures made from medically safe PLLA and PLGA to reposition fat deposits and hold skin in a more elevated position.

The sutures are inserted in the subdermal fat layer via needles in an in-office process that typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour. The face-altering results will be visible right away, with a more youthful face and neck shape highlighted by fuller cheeks and a betterdefined jawline. The Silhouette Soft sutures will eventually dissolve, but not before activating collagen-building fibroblasts to build longer-lasting structural support in the treatment area.

Dr. Cook can combine the Silhouette Soft sutures with other innovative techniques, including volume restoration with fat or fillers and tightening with FaceTite®. BBL pulsed light treatments and the HALO hybrid fractional laser can also be paired with the Silhouette Soft procedure.

Although the result does not equal what can be achieved with surgical lifting, absorbable suture lift procedures have a potential role to play for patients with a mild to moderate degree of descent of the facial structures. A consultation with Dr. Cook will guide you as to which choice will be the best for you.
