Silhouette Soft is a resorbable PLLA suspension suture with bidirectional cones, made by Sinclair.

The eye thread lift uses Apple Lifting cobra-cog PDO threads, which Yaan describes as its own procedure for sagging brows, lids and outer eye corners.
What affects the price?
The price of a thread lift mainly depends on how many threads you need and which type. More threads cover a larger area or create a stronger lift, so a full lower-face plan costs more than a single thread for one side or one area.
- Number of threads: Yaan Clinic prices Silhouette Soft per thread and as fixed packages of 4, 6 or 14 threads in total.
- Thread type: Silhouette Soft PLLA threads and PDO threads (Apple Lifting, Diamond Lifting) work differently and are priced as part of different packages.
- Treatment area: The lower face and jawline are usually treated with Silhouette Soft packages, while the brows, eyelids and forehead have a separate eye thread lift price.
- Degree of sagging: Mild sagging may need fewer threads. Yaan Clinic says it avoids using too many threads, and advanced sagging may be better suited to surgery than to any thread lift.
- Combinations: Some patients combine threads with energy-based lifting or fillers. Each treatment is priced separately unless it is a listed package.
Your doctor will recommend a thread count after examining your face, and the final price is confirmed at consultation.
