At Wellspring Plastic Surgery, we are constantly refining the way we approach facial and neck rejuvenation. Many patients come to me concerned about early jowling, loss of jawline definition, or laxity in the neck — but they’re not quite ready for a traditional neck lift.

For the right candidate, the Silhouette procedure offers a sophisticated, minimally invasive solution designed specifically to restore a more defined, youthful neckline with less downtime than conventional surgery.

What Is the Silhouette Procedure?

The Silhouette procedure is a customized, minimally invasive neck rejuvenation technique that focuses on tightening, contouring, and refining the neck and jawline.

Unlike treatments that only address the surface of the skin, Silhouette works beneath the skin to improve structural support. Depending on your anatomy and goals, this may include:

• Subdermal collagen tightening
• Precision micro-liposuction (when needed)
• Strategic soft tissue suspension
• Advanced energy-based tightening with Renuvion® technology

This layered approach allows us to address both skin laxity and contour irregularities while maintaining a natural appearance.

Why Patients Are Choosing Silhouette

1. Less Downtime

Because Silhouette uses small, discreet entry points rather than traditional incisions, recovery is typically shorter than with a formal neck lift.

2. Targeted Neck & Jawline Refinement

The procedure is designed specifically for early to moderate neck laxity and mild jowling. It restores definition without overcorrection.

3. Collagen Stimulation

Using Renuvion® (a combination of helium plasma and radiofrequency energy), we gently contract tissue beneath the skin and stimulate collagen production. This helps improve skin firmness over time.

4. Natural-Looking Results

My philosophy has always been to enhance — not alter — your appearance. The goal is for others to notice that you look refreshed, not that you had a procedure.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Silhouette is ideal for patients who:

• Notice early signs of neck laxity
• Have mild jowling or loss of jawline definition
• Want meaningful improvement without a full surgical lift
• Prefer a shorter recovery period

During your consultation, we’ll carefully assess your anatomy and discuss your goals. In some cases, Silhouette is the ideal solution. In others, a different procedure may better serve you. The key is selecting the right approach for long-term satisfaction.

What to Expect

The procedure is typically performed with local anesthesia and light sedation, depending on your personalized plan. Most patients return to normal activities relatively quickly, with gradual improvement as swelling subsides and collagen remodeling continues.

You can expect:

• Improved neck contour
• Sharper jawline definition
• A smoother, more youthful neckline

A Thoughtful Approach to Rejuvenation

There is no “one-size-fits-all” solution in aesthetic medicine. The Silhouette procedure fills an important space between non-surgical treatments and traditional surgery — offering refined, structural improvement with less downtime.

If you’ve been considering neck rejuvenation but aren’t ready for a full lift, I encourage you to schedule a consultation. Together, we can determine whether Silhouette is the right step toward achieving a confident, natural-looking result.
