Silhouette Instalift

A non-surgical procedure that will give your face a youthful and natural lift, instantly. 

Should You Consider an InstaLift?

Restore A More Youthful Contour to the Face, Instantly

Changes in the shape and appearance of the face happen gradually over time. These changes occur as skin strength and elasticity decrease with age, as well as due to the gradual loss of fat, bone, and cartilage. 

Silhouette InstaLift® is a quick, minimally invasive option to restore your youthful appearance. The instant results continue to improve over time, creating a youthful appearance that lasts up to 2 years.

Lift away the years, instantly. The end result is a younger, refreshed, and more natural you.*

Instalift Overview

Take Years Off Your Appearance Instantly and Non-Surgically

The Silhouette InstaLift lifts and adds volume for a younger look, instantly and without any surgery. 

Specially designed sutures are placed in the deeper layers of the face. The unique suture technology adds volume and repositions the skin by lifting sagging areas. At 2 weeks, many patients rate themselves looking 4-5 years younger. 

The procedure is done in-office, using local anesthesia and can be completed in 45 minutes. With minimal downtime and recovery, you can go back to your life right away as a younger looking you.  

Candidates

Are You Bothered By Visible Signs of Aging? 

You may be a good candidate for InstaLift if you are bothered by visible signs of facial aging:

  • Do you have jowls or a sagging jawline?
  • Do you have sunken cheeks?
  • Do you have wrinkles and folds around your nose and mouth?

The most ideal candidates have good skin elasticity and mild to moderate skin laxity.

It’s important to be in good overall health, to be a non-smoker, and to have realistic expectations.

Choosing The Right Provider

Facial enhancement is a technically demanding procedure that requires the highest level of skill. For this reason, it is very important that you choose a provider that is highly skilled and experienced. You should also remember that no single technique is appropriate or “best” for all patients and that facial enhancement should be individualized just for you depending on your goals and facial characteristics. Dr. Fan believes that less is more and will use the simplest, safest, and most reliable procedure to help you look younger.

Dr. Fan is highly experienced with non-invasive and minimally-invasive facial rejuvenation treatments, so he will be able to help you understand the benefits, expected results, risks, and limitations of each type of treatment so that you can decide whether a non-surgical or surgical treatment is best for you.

Ultherapy is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment that uses ultrasound energy to firm, tighten, and lift the skin. The improvement seen after Ultherapy treatment is much more subtle and modest compared to the results of a facelift.

I did a lot of research before choosing to have a costly elective procedure, and I’m glad I did. Dr. Fan is an exceptional surgeon. He has a remarkable sense of aesthetics. He made suggestions and recommendations I would not have come up with on my own but afterwards saw he’d been absolutely right about. In addition to all of this, he is a genuinely kind person. I have no regrets and if I were going to have anything done in the future I would go back to Dr. Fan."*
