FULL FACE THREAD LIFT WITH SILHOUETTE SOFT THREADS
When your face is starting to sag, but you’re not ready for a facelift, which tweakment can bridge the gap?
Enter the Silhouette Soft thread lift, which offers a radically different approach from toxins and fillers for rejuvenating the face. It’s a more far-reaching treatment that uses soluble suture-type threads to lift and reposition the tissues of the face, holding these in place with cones spaced along the threads. The results should last for 18 months.
For this week’s Tweak of the Week, I meet Dr Victoria Manning of River Aesthetics at the Cosmesurge clinic in London, to watch her perform a thread lift using the Silhouette Soft threads. As she works, Dr Victoria explains how these threads stimulate collagen production in the skin during the six months before they dissolve, to help provide a longer-lasting improvement in the structure of the face.
How are the threads placed? What does it feel like? What are the results like? Take a look at the video, and see for yourself.

It is so important to find an experienced practitioner for any tweakment you are considering. The practitioners listed on my site are people whose work I trust. However, for a more complete list of specialist practitioners in this area, I would recommend that you use the Sinclair practitioner finder here.
Alice Hart-Davis is an award-winning beauty journalist and author. For nearly 20
years she
has been reporting on the aesthetic cosmetic procedures colloquially known as
tweakments,
and has trialled countless procedures in order to review them.
Alice has won many awards for her work, though none for services as a cosmetic guinea
pig.
She attends aesthetics conferences around the world and spends a lot of time
catching up
with the doctors, surgeons, dentists, nurses and the companies behind the technology
in this
fast-expanding field, the better to understand the tweakments on offer.
Over the years Alice has seen — and experienced first-hand — plenty of bad
treatments, and
understands the many problems that beset the aesthetics industry, from the lack of
regulation to the rising incidence of body dysmorphia among cosmetic patients and
practitioners.
Despite this, she remains an advocate of good, understated cosmetic work — the sort
which
goes undetected and unremarked, because it doesn’t lead to weird-looking hamster
cheeks or
frozen foreheads. She is also still enthusiastic about the potential of tweakments
for
making people look that bit better, which in turn makes them feel better about
themselves
and better able to get on with the rest of their lives.
She lives in London, a short bicycle ride from Harley Street, with her husband and a
lively
Jack Russell terrier. Her three young adult children take a dim view of tweakments,
but
accept that these are something she does for work (and are too kind to use the word,
‘vanity’).
