Non-surgical facial rejuvenation with Silhouette InstaLift® is a revolutionary treatment that utilizes Micro Suspension Technology™. It allows patients to achieve immediate, long-lasting results with minimal recovery time.
Facial rejuvenation treatments can come in many forms. The most transformative facial rejuvenation treatments are often surgical procedures, which require extensive preparation and recovery. Furthermore, these procedures can be invasive and taxing for the patient. Less invasive facial rejuvenation procedures, on the other hand, might not yield the same desired results. With the Silhouette InstaLift, patients can reap the benefits of more extensive procedures without having to undergo surgery or endure the lengthy recovery times often associated with them.
The team at Austin Plastic Surgeon is at the forefront of the latest cutting-edge facial rejuvenation technologies such as the Silhouette Instalift.

About Silhouette InstaLift
Non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments have become increasingly popular for individuals seeking a refreshed, youthful appearance without undergoing invasive surgical procedures. This minimally invasive treatment effectively lifts sagging skin, restores facial volume, and enhances facial contours using advanced absorbable sutures with bidirectional cones that are placed into the deepest layer of mid-facial skin. From there, the production of collagen is stimulated and an immediate lift is created, restoring facial volume. The methods used by Silhouette InstaLift are linked with high patient satisfaction. (1)
Benefits
The Silhouette InstaLift offers numerous benefits for individuals seeking facial rejuvenation. Some of the benefits people might experience from Silhouette InstaLift procedures might include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Increased facial volume
- Restored definition
- Reduced facial sagging
- Smoother skin
- More youthful appearance
Not only does this procedure provide cosmetic benefits by helping patients achieve their desired aesthetic, but the treatment method itself has several benefits when compared to traditional facial rejuvenation methods. It is minimally invasive and considered to be safer than many traditional facial rejuvenation methods. (2)
Patients can enjoy many of the same benefits of traditional facial rejuvenation procedures without having to endure the negative side effects associated with more traditional treatment methods, such as scarring and long recovery periods. Furthermore, the impactful results can allow for a confidence boost.

Ideal Candidates
Most candidates for Silhouette InstaLift are individuals who are experiencing some signs of aging in the face and are looking for a safe, easy way to combat this. The treatment appeals largely to those who have lost volume in their face, wrinkles, or decreased jaw definition.
In general, patients should be in overall good health with realistic expectations about what they are able to accomplish with this procedure. This treatment is not designed for patients seeking extreme changes in their facial appearance, as it is meant to provide subtle aesthetic enhancements while still allowing patients to maintain a natural look.
Patients with known allergies or sensitivities to plastic biomaterials may be recommended a different treatment avenue. Your eligibility for facial rejuvenation procedures using Silhouette Instalift will ultimately be determined during your consultation. Whatever the case may be, our team will work with you to find what treatment options will be most effective for you.
Personal Consultation
To initiate the treatment process with Silhouette InstaLift, you will need to schedule a personal consultation with an Austin Plastic Surgeon professional. The Austin Plastic Surgeon team emphasizes a patient-first mentality, meaning that each treatment plan is customized to meet individual needs and goals. During your consultation, your Austin Plastic Surgeon professional will get to know you and gather the necessary information that will inform the treatment process. We will evaluate your facial structure and skin health to determine if you are an ideal candidate for Silhouette Instalift, or if perhaps another procedure offered by Austin Plastic Surgery would be more suitable.
Once we have gathered the necessary information, we will create a customized treatment plan for you that will include any steps that you might need to take during the preparation and recovery process, as well as the details of the Silhouette InstaLift procedure itself. As part of this treatment plan, we can also recommend additional procedures that align with your goals. Your consultation is also a great time to discuss any questions you might have about Silhouette Instalift or perhaps any other skin-related concerns you would like to address.
Preparation
Taking the right precautions in order to prepare for this treatment is essential to ensure the safety and success of the Silhouette InstaLift procedure. Our team will give you a detailed set of preoperative instructions as necessary to help you prepare. Patients might be asked to discontinue the usage of blood thinners, NSAIDs, and nicotine in the weeks leading up to treatment. If necessary, we will advise you to discontinue or adjust the use of certain medications you might be taking, especially topical medications that might interfere with the procedure.
Maintaining a good skincare routine leading up to the procedure is also advisable. Patients should actively wash, cleanse, and moisturize their skin in the days and weeks before to ensure overall skin health. Ideally, patients should take extra precautions when going outside in order to limit potential sun damage. If any damage occurs in the treatment area, we may need to postpone or reschedule your appointment. On the day of your treatment, you should arrive with a clean face, free of make-up and other skincare products.
Procedure
The Silhouette InstaLift procedure is performed as an in-office treatment at any of our locations. The treatment begins with the application of a local anesthetic to ensure patient comfort. We use absorbable sutures with bidirectional cones to lift and reposition the skin while stimulating collagen production. The procedure is designed to deliver immediate lifting effects and long-term improvements in skin quality and elasticity. Once the sutures are in place, they are gently adjusted to achieve the desired level of lift and contour, ensuring precise and natural-looking results.
Recovery
Recovery from Silhouette InstaLift is fast, simple, and easy for patients, with a majority of patients resuming daily activities within 24 to 48 hours. Patients can expect minor swelling or bruising in the treated areas, but these side effects typically fade rather quickly. Although the recovery time is often straightforward, we will provide you with a detailed list of any postoperative steps you might need to take to ensure a seamless recovery. Naturally, patients should continue to avoid excessive sun exposure and take precautions to protect the skin. Photoaging, or aging caused by the sun’s harmful UV rays, is one of the leading causes of accelerated aging.
Results
Austin Plastic Surgeon is the best in the business when it comes to facial rejuvenation procedures. The Silhouette InstaLift incorporates state-of-the-art technology, allowing our patients to notice immediate and impactful improvements in facial definition and facial volume. Due to the gradual production of collagen, results will continue to develop in the following months. Patients can expect a smoother, more defined facial contour and an overall more youthful appearance once their results fully develop.
The results from Silhouette InstaLift procedures are long-lasting, allowing some patients to enjoy enhancements for about a year or longer. If you would like to prolong your results, you can schedule a touch-up appointment after talking to an Austin Plastic Surgeon professional.
Cost of Silhouette InstaLift Treatment
The cost of Silhouette InstaLift will vary depending on a variety of factors. These factors might include whether or not any additional procedures were performed, the extent of your treatment, and perhaps the number of sutures required. Any questions or concerns you have about the cost of this procedure can be discussed during your personal consultation.
