FDA approved in 2006, Silhouette Lift™ is a non-surgical face lift procedure used to lift and reposition sagging tissue in the mid-face. What makes Silhouette Lift™ so innovative is the Silhouette Mid-face Sutures™, suspension sutures made of polypropylene, a bio-compatible material with resorbable cones. This type of suture has been used in cardiovascular and ophthalmic surgery for many years and is FDA for market use and are CE marked in the European Union.

Silhouette Lift™ is a relatively simple procedure, complete in about an hour. First, the patient is given a local anesthesia. Next, Dr. Zelko makes a mini incision along the hairline and inserts the Silhouette Sutures™. The sutures are anchored into the facial tissue and fastened to the temporal area.

Silhouette Lift™ is an excellent alternative to a traditional face lift. While Silhouette Lift™ does not replace a traditional face lift, it can be used for patients with early signs of aging and for those who want to delay a surgical face lift procedure.

Silhouette Lift™ results are immediate, patients are able to resume normal activities within two to four days. It generally takes 10 days for a full recovery. Silhouette Lift™ will last about three to four years. It is possible to re-tighten the lift after three years through a simple, 20 minute outpatient procedure.

Silhouette Lift™ is performed only by trained and certified physicians. Dr. Zelko is a cosmetic surgeon with over 24 years of experience. He has undergone special training to learn about the science and technique behind Silhouette Lift™ to offer it to his patients.
