Silhouette Sutures

The thread lift, suture lift, feather lift, contour threads- they're all based on the same concept. Small incisions are made, barbed sutures are passed through the area area to be lifted, and tension is placed to move the tissue in desired direction. The reviews and anectodal reports from surgeons are less than stellar in most cases. Its been adopted mainly by "non-surgeons" to offer facial rejuvination to pre-existing laser and botox patients.
The newest technology in the chain of threads is called the Silhouette suture. It uses a "cup and ball" design rather than a barb. Will it be an improvement over previous designs? Judge for yourself, here.
