Lift and redefine areas where facial tissue has begun to droop or lose its youthful position. At New You Center, we offer Silhouette InstaLift®, which uses absorbable, non-PDO suspension sutures to elevate the mid-face while encouraging collagen production for gradual support.
Silhouette InstaLift at a Glance
Reposition the Cheeks With Absorbable Sutures
Silhouette InstaLift is a minimally invasive facial lifting treatment that uses absorbable, non-PDO sutures with bidirectional cones. When placed beneath your skin, these cones grasp and reposition facial tissue to create an immediate lifting effect. As the PLGA sutures gradually dissolve, they also encourage collagen production, providing additional support and rejuvenation over time.

- Sagging or descended cheeks

Deep Dive Into Silhouette InstaLift
How Does Silhouette InstaLift Work?
Silhouette InstaLift uses absorbable PLGA sutures lined with tiny cones that face in opposite directions. Once positioned beneath your skin, these cones grasp the underlying tissue, allowing it to be repositioned and held higher for an immediate lift. As the material absorbs, your body forms tissue around the sutures as part of its healing response. This provides a minimally invasive way to support and reposition facial tissue without traditional facelift surgery.
When Will I See My Silhouette InstaLift Results?
You can typically see some lifting immediately because the cones mechanically reposition and support your cheek tissue. The treatment is also performed to encourage a collagen response, so your appearance may continue to evolve for weeks and months after the procedure.
What Is Recovery Like After My Treatment?
You should plan on taking it relatively easy afterward. Temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness, or dimpling can occur. You must also practice gentle facial care, sleep face-up and elevated for several nights, and temporarily avoid strenuous exercise and excessive facial movements.
FAQs
Will I Look Dramatically Different Afterward?
That isn’t the objective. Silhouette InstaLift physically repositions existing tissue rather than removing skin as a surgical facelift does. At New You Center, your anatomy, degree of laxity, and desired change are considered when planning treatment.
Is Silhouette InstaLift the Same as a PDO Thread Lift?
No. Silhouette InstaLift uses PLGA (poly-L-lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) sutures with bidirectional cones, rather than PDO threads. The cones anchor into the tissue to lift and reposition it. As the PLGA gradually breaks down, it also stimulates a healing response that supports new collagen formation, providing both immediate tissue elevation and progressive structural support.
