Silhouette Lift suture is a non-absorbable polypropylene suture with an implantable grade L-lactide/Glycolide (PLG-8218) resorbable based cone that has been injection molded to strict tolerances and affixed to the polypropylene base suture in a secondary operation without any modification or degradation to the base suture. This model number of Silhouette Lift suture is 40.5 cm in length, with a total of 6 molded cones fixed to the distal end of the suture. Silhouette Lift suture is indicated for use in mid-face suspension surgery to fixate the cheek dermis in an elevated position.
A sterile filament made of a non-bioabsorbable material (e.g., polypropylene) with bioabsorbable projections (e.g., cones) attached along its length intended to be surgically implanted typically during a cosmetic surgical procedure for alternative lifting (e.g., face, neck, breast). The device is inserted through dermis and tacked to deep fascia where the projections produce tension for elevation of the subdermis. It is available in a variety of lengths and may be supplied with a needle(s).
