THREAD LIFT IN NEWPORT BEACH
As we age, our skin loses elastin and collagen, resulting in loose skin and lines and wrinkles. However, not everyone who is showing these signs of aging may want to undergo invasive surgery such as a facelift. A thread lift is an alternative procedure that can help to lift sagging skin for a more youthful appearance.
WHAT IS A THREAD LIFT?
A thread lift is a facial rejuvenation procedure that uses delicate surgical threats to elevate sagging skin on the face. It is commonly used to lift sagging brows, cheeks, and jowls for a more youthful facial appearance. There are no facelift incisions made, and no visible scars.
TRADITIONAL THREAD LIFT
The thread lift was removed from the market almost a decade ago. The original thread lift was around in the late ‘90s and was performed on patients until the mid-2000s. The sutures used in the past were permanent barbed sutures, which had a history of not providing enough hold and would sometimes snap.
This was a procedure that I contemplated for quite awhile and researched thoroughly before deciding to move forward. I visited a total of 5 surgeons to find the perfect fit for me. From the moment I met Dr. Horowitz I knew he was the one to perform the procedure. He immediately made me feel comfortable and confident with his ability to perform the surgery. He was not only friendly and fun, but took the time to answer ALL of the questions that I had regarding the surgery and final outcome. This wasn't a decision I took lightly, and along with the investment, was something that I needed to feel 110% sure of. Dr. Horowitz and his entire staff made this a very comfortable, easy, and pleasant experience. I can't thank them enough!!

SILHOUETTE INSTALIFT® is the newest non-surgical facelift procedure aimed at lifting sagging skin and reducing the signs of facial aging. In one simple 45-minute procedure, requiring no surgery and no downtime, you can walk out looking years younger.
It is a minimally invasive facelift procedure which uses fine biodegradable sutures placed deep beneath the skin to lift and tighten. This suturing technique allows our doctors to reposition sagging tissue to a more youthful position. The sutures are inserted through tiny holes. No actual facelift incisions are made. Local anesthesia is used to ensure there is no discomfort during the procedure. The results are immediate. Results can last up to two years, but will vary patient to patient.
The InstaLift® has been approved by the FDA for the mid-face. Areas of improvement can be seen in the cheeks down to the jowls and chin line.
Any man or woman who is showing signs of facial aging resulting from skin laxity who wants to improve their appearance without having a surgical facelift. The InstaLift® is also a good alternative when non-invasive treatments aren’t enough.
