Thread Buttock Lift Surgery
Saggy, droopy bottom?
A pert, round, well-shaped bottom is something that many of us aspire to - Pippa Middleton's stunning derriere was one of the most talked about points of the royal wedding.
Unfortunately, no matter how much we exercise, the buttocks are one of the most resistant areas to toning and the most difficult to keep in shape. It seems to get harder with age and both weight loss and weight gain can make the buttocks appear even less shapely, leading to a rather droopy behind.
Thread Lift for the Buttocks
Threadlifting has become an incredibly popular option for reshaping the buttocks. Using a network of internally affixed surgical "threads", the surgeon is able to gently yet effectively lifts and tightens buttocks, bringing great shape and definition.
Performed as a day case in our Dublin clinic, the procedure is ideal for:
- People with a "saggy" appearance to the buttocks, whether that is due to ageing, past pregnancy, weight gain or weight loss
- Restoring the definition to the shape of the bottom
- Women and men from the age of 38/40 onwards
The procedure is done in 2 parts as a day case it is surprisingly simple yet effective.
"Silhouette" Thread-Lift
The revolutionary new Silhouette Thread Lift gives you the opportunity to dramatically improve the shape of your bottom, without a general anaesthetic, without hospitalisation and without a long recovery time. The threadlift is a new technique that is performed with local anaesthetic, which enables the patient to go back to normal activities very quickly.
The threads are inserted on the bias through a micro-incision. The procedure takes place in 5 stages :
- Insertion
- Deployment
- Anchoring
- Suspension
- Fixation
The sutures are made from polypropylene, a biocompatible material with the human body which has been used for many years in cardiovascular and ophthalmic surgery. "Silhouette" threadlift sutures are the most innovative sutures to date. They are not barbed which avoids any tissue damage and thanks to small re-absorbable cones which anchor themselves in deep tissue, a tension is produced which lifts the sagging tissue. The fibrosis around the suture produces a much stronger suspension mechanism than traditional methods and the sutures avoid problems of movement, breakage and pain which occur with barbed sutures.
The results are outstanding. You can expect perter buttocks and a higher, less droopy bottom overall with a good shape and tone.
Frequently asked Questions:
Q: What is a Silhouette Lift?
Silhouette-Lift is a new threadlifting technique developed for use with Silhouette Sutures, a new suspension thread. This minimally invasive technique is used to lift and reposition sagging tissue. Silhouette Sutures offer significantly greater lift due to their unique absorbable cones which give strong traction when lifting the soft tissue.
Q: Am I the ideal patient for a thread lift?
If you are experiencing sagging, unshapely buttocks then you will probably benefit from Silhouette Lift.
Q: Does a Thread Lift require a general anaesthetic or hospitalisation?
A Silhouette Lift is performed under local anaesthetic by our surgeon without the need of hospitalisation.
Q: How long is the procedure?
The procedure is carried out in 2 sessions, each around an hour long
Q: What reassurance do I have with the Silhouette Sutures?
The Silhouette Sutures have been approved by the US FDA and have received the CE mark. These approvals are unique in the market.
Q: Why is Silhouette Lift the best available procedure in thread lifting?
- The Silhouette Lift technique is the most reliable on the market as it is based on mechanics;
-
The unique design of the hollow cones is harmless and the Silhouette Sutures cannot break;
-
The Silhouette Sutures are attached, hence they can not migrate and the risk of the Silhouette Sutures moving is non-existent;
-
As the Silhouette Sutures are not absorbable, the traction and the suspension effects are long lasting.
