Benefits of Silhouette Soft Thread Lift
A Silhouette Soft Thread Lift comes with the following benefits:
- Thread lifting is a minimally invasive procedure with little to no complications and leads to quicker healing
- Results of the Facial Thread Lift procedure are instantly visible after the treatment and they continue to improve with time
- Most patients are able to return back to back to work within 2 days of the procedure, unlike traditional facelift which involves a longer recovery
- The results of the treatment are longer-lasting than injectables and fillers
- An Immediate lift is more visible after Silhouette Soft Thread Lift as compared to HIFU and other skin tightening devices

- You are looking for mild to moderate level of elevation & lifting
- You don’t have any severe signs of ageing like severe drooping and sagging facial skin, heavy jowls or a turkey neck

About Silhouette Soft Thread Lift
Silhouette Soft is a thin biodegradable thread that is placed under the skin and offers a mechanical lift to your face. Think of this filler as a natural evolution of Dermal Filler that can produce a lifting effect without the need of undergoing a cosmetic surgery procedure.
After carefully assessing your skin, Dr Hunt will inform you about the thread lift procedure, results and what to expect from the treatment.
When you come in for the treatment, you’ll be required to complete the consenting process. Your face will be cleaned thoroughly to ensure there are no traces of dirt and makeup on your face. Then, your face will be numbed using local anaesthesia so you’ll feel comfortable throughout the process. The entire procedure will take around 45 minutes. Dr Hunt will carefully place the threads under the skin to provide an instant lifting effect. He will insert the Silhouette Soft suture with the help of a fine needle and pass it under the skin in the direction of the intended lift. Your skin will be lightly massaged upward where the cones hold the sutures in place. Once the procedure is complete, it is best to rest for at least a few hours.
Silhouette Soft Thread Lift Aftercare
It is best to take two to three days off from work and stay clear of any strenuous activities and social engagements. Please follow the after care instructions from Dr Hunt.
Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising at the level of the area treated which can last anywhere from a few days to a week.
Please adhere to these instructions post the treatment:
- Take pain killers prescribed by Dr Hunt to help with any discomfort post-surgery
- Sleep on your back with your head in a slightly elevated position and avoid putting any pressure on the treatment site
- Be very careful and gentle while washing, shaving, and drying your face. Do not rub your skin
- It is best to avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 to 48 hours after the treatment
- Do not get any facial massages or aesthetic treatments for 4 weeks after the treatment
- Stay clear of high-intensity workouts for at least two weeks after the silhouette soft thread lift
- Do not use saunas and steam rooms for at least 3 weeks after getting the thread lift
- Avoid visiting the dentist for at least a month after the thread lift
Most patients are able to go back to work within a couple of days without any problem. The precise downtime varies from patient to patient and Dr Hunt will advise you accordingly.
How to find the Best Thread Lift Surgeon Sydney
Choosing the right surgeon for your thread lift facial procedure is one of the most important steps to ensure the success of your procedure.
An experienced, talented plastic surgeon can help you achieve results and minimise the risks and complications that could occur during the recovery period.
Make sure to take your time in choosing the right plastic surgeon for your thread lifting. The plastic surgeon should be someone you can connect with and speak freely and honestly about your goals and expectations. You can start the process by creating a list of surgeons in your area based on their credentials and experience. Next, you can narrow down the list by looking at their online reviews.
Make sure to look at the before and after photographs of different patients. You can either find them on the surgeon’s website or request them during the consultation.
Last but not the least, trust your gut. Pay attention to how you feel and connect with a particular surgeon. Do you feel comfortable? Is the surgeon able to answer all your queries? Do you trust them with your face? If the answer is yes, choose that surgeon. Otherwise, keep looking.
