During facial aging, a series of physical and biochemical changes leading to tissue hypotrophy, sagging, and wrinkles takes place not only at the level of the skin but also in the fatty tissue, muscle, and other structures. One of these changes is the decrease in volume and elasticity of the tissue because of alteration of collagen fiber formation. The intermittent use of silhouette sutures (partially reabsorbable) is aimed at preventing and treating the tissue sagginess and reinforcing the soft tissue of the face.
在面部衰老过程中，一系列导致组织萎缩、下垂和皱纹的物理及生化变化不仅发生在皮肤层面，也发生在脂肪组织、肌肉和其他结构中。这些变化之一是由于胶原纤维形成改变导致组织体积和弹性下降。间断使用轮廓缝线（部分可吸收）旨在预防和治疗组织下垂并强化面部软组织。
