What Is Silhouette InstaLift?
Silhouette InstaLift is a groundbreaking aesthetic treatment performed at Iteld Plastic Surgery for patients who want to refresh their appearance by lifting and firming the cheeks and mid-face. This innovative approach to thread lifts uses dissolvable sutures to hold up sagging skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging. As a bonus, Silhouette InstaLift also stimulates your skin's collagen production, leading to long-lasting facial rejuvenation. If you're concerned about looking aged or tired because of a changing facial structure, we invite you to reach out to our office in Chicago, IL to arrange a consultation with Dr. Lawrence Iteld and our team of skin care professionals.
How Does Silhouette InstaLift Work?
Your Silhouette InstaLift treatment at Iteld Plastic Surgery will begin with a member of our team cleaning your face and applying an anesthetic cream to minimize any discomfort you might feel during the procedure. Once you're ready, we'll thread the sutures under the surface of your skin, allowing the specialized micro-cones to gently lift your features and hold them in place. The procedure typically takes less than an hour to complete, at which point you will be free to get back to your daily routine. For the first day or two after your Silhouette InstaLift treatment, you may experience some bruising, swelling, or tenderness around the treatment area, but this will pass. Your results should be noticeable right away — as time passes and your body absorbs the threads, your results will only improve, leaving you with a naturally radiant, youthful complexion.
What Are the Benefits of Silhouette InstaLift?
If you want to elevate your skin's health and appearance but aren't quite ready to commit to surgery, a Silhouette InstaLift offers an alternative approach to a traditional facelift. Some of the other benefits of Silhouette InstaLift treatments at Iteld Plastic Surgery include:
- Procedure is minimally invasive yet still effective
- Boosts collagen generation for glowing results that will last
- Outcomes that are longer-lasting than other noninvasive anti-aging solutions (like injectables)
- Renewed confidence and self-esteem
Iteld Plastic Surgery Reviews
Kimmie is a great injector. My lips look so natural.The office staff are very kind.
I am from a small town in indiana, and picked this place for my upcoming surgery. I thought a fancy place like this I would get some upty people. That was NOT the case. Everyone in this office location was wonderful. Thank you 😊
Dr. Iteld and his team are incredible. I got a gender-affirming top surgery (double mastectomy) from him and from the consult through post-op he and everyone on the care team were so amazing. I felt cared for, listened to, and respected. He did such an amazing job. I'm so so happy and I would recommend him and his team for anyone considering plastic surgery!
From beginning to end my experience with Dr. Iteld and staff was amazing.I am thrilled with my results and the care that was taken to acknowledge me for who I am.I couldn’t imagine better people to place your faith in for the outcome you’re looking for.If you are looking for top surgery you will be wholly satisfied.I can’t say enough good things and I was never encouraged to leave a review until my last appointment.I only wish I had more things to go back for!
I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Dr Iteld and the entire team at. From the very first consultation, it was clear that he is not only a top surgeon, but also someone with a truly authentic and comforting bedside manner. His attention to detail is unmatched, and his expertise in his technique gave me complete confidence every step of the way.What made this journey even more exceptional was the remarkable team supporting him. Linda was my rock through the entire process—by my side every step of the way with warmth, reassurance, and unwavering support. Carrol helped guide me both before and after surgery, making sure I always knew what to expect and felt fully prepared. And Kimmy, the fantastic nurse brought exceptional skill, compassion, and care to every interaction.Together, they prepared me, educated me, and made sure I felt completely comfortable from beginning to end. Their care, compassion, and professionalism made all the difference.I highly recommend Dr Iteld and his incredible team to anyone seeking the absolute best. I will continue to trust them with all of my care in the future.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does Silhouette InstaLift work on different skin types and tones?
Because the threads are inserted beneath the skin’s surface and don’t rely on light or heat energy, Silhouette InstaLift is safe for all skin tones. For patients with thicker or more elastic skin — often seen in men and darker complexions — we adjust thread direction and tension to ensure optimal lift and smoothness.
Can Silhouette InstaLift help if I’ve already had fillers or Botox?
Yes. Many patients request Silhouette InstaLift when fillers no longer provide enough lift. It can complement prior treatments by repositioning tissue, while injectables continue to restore volume or smooth lines. We’ll review your aesthetic history to create a seamless plan.
What makes Silhouette InstaLift a good choice for early aging?
If you’ve started noticing slight sagging around the cheeks, jowls, or nasolabial folds but aren’t ready for surgery, Silhouette InstaLift bridges the gap beautifully. It restores structure and definition — especially helpful for those in their late 30s to 50s who want visible improvement without downtime.
Can I combine Silhouette InstaLift with laser or skin-tightening treatments?
Absolutely — but timing matters. We often perform lasers or energy-based tightening before threads, and fillers or neuromodulators after the lift to refine results. We’ll create a customized sequence that enhances lift, texture, and tone safely.
Will anyone be able to tell I had something done?
Our goal is subtle rejuvenation. You’ll look like yourself — just refreshed and lifted. Most people will think you’ve been sleeping better, lost a little weight, or simply look more rested.
What long-term maintenance do you recommend?
Protect your investment with healthy habits: daily SPF, medical-grade skincare, and periodic collagen-stimulating treatments. Some patients choose a follow-up Silhouette InstaLift every 18–24 months to maintain lift and skin firmness.
Is Silhouette InstaLift safe for ethnic skin?
Yes. It’s an excellent option for patients with richly pigmented skin who want lift without risk of discoloration. Since it doesn’t use light, laser, or heat, Silhouette InstaLift avoids the pigment-related complications that can occur with some other rejuvenation treatments.
Is Silhouette InstaLift just for women?
Not at all. Men are excellent candidates, too. Silhouette InstaLift subtly redefines the jawline and midface without adding bulk or changing masculine facial structure. Our team customizes thread placement to respect your natural anatomy — giving you a refreshed look, not a “done” one.
How soon can I return to work or social activities?
Most patients are comfortable returning within a couple of days — sometimes even the next day. Makeup can help cover minor bruising. The subtle lift evolves gradually, so results look natural rather than sudden.
