Absorbable suture suspension (Silhouette InstaLift, Sinclair Pharma, Irvine, CA) is a novel, minimally invasive system that utilizes a specially manufactured synthetic suture to help address the issues of facial aging, while minimizing the risks associated with historic thread lifting modalities.
The purpose of the study was to assess the safety, efficacy, and patient satisfaction of the absorbable suture suspension system in regards to facial rejuvenation and midface volume enhancement.
The first 100 treated patients who underwent absorbable suture suspension, by the senior author, were critically evaluated. Subjects completed anonymous surveys evaluating their experience with the new modality.
Survey results indicate that absorbable suture suspension is a tolerable (96%) and manageable (89%) treatment that improves age related changes (83%), which was found to be in concordance with our critical review.
Absorbable suture suspension generates high patient satisfaction by nonsurgically lifting mid and lower face and neck skin and has the potential to influence numerous facets of aesthetic medicine. The study provides a greater understanding concerning patient selection, suture trajectory, and possible adjuvant therapies.
可吸收缝线悬吊（Silhouette InstaLift， Sinclair Pharma，欧文，加利福尼亚州）是一种新型的微创系统，利用特制的合成缝线来帮助解决面部老化问题，同时最大限度地降低与传统缝线提升方式相关的风险。
本研究旨在评估可吸收缝线悬吊系统在面部年轻化和中面部容量增强方面的安全性、疗效和患者满意度。
对接受可吸收缝线悬吊的前 100 名患者（由资深作者治疗）进行了严格评估。患者完成了匿名调查，评估他们对新治疗模式的体验。
调查结果表明，可吸收缝线悬吊是一种可耐受（96%）和可管理（89%）的治疗方法，可改善与年龄相关的变化（83%），这与我们的严格审查结果一致。
可吸收缝线悬吊术通过非手术方式提升中面部和下部面部及颈部皮肤，可提高患者的满意度，并有可能影响美容医学的众多方面。该研究提供了关于患者选择、缝线轨迹和可能的辅助治疗的更深入了解。
