Silhouette Soft – The Facelift Alternative
*Results may vary from person to person
Is Silhouette Soft Safe?
Dr. DeChiara, reknown Plastic Surgeon, in Mount Kisco, NY highly recommends the Silhouette Soft for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity. In a painless procedure (administered with local anesthetics) threads are used to suspend the cheeks in a higher position than before. The result is a tighter, smoother, more lifted cheek profile, with less nasio-labial folds. The Silhouette Soft Lift is a popular choice among patients because it has little downtime, is not an obvious or dramatic change and shaves years off your face without changing it or puffing it out. Another great feature of this treatment is the promotion of new collagen production, which is key in any anti-aging treatment for long lasting results.
