The Silhouette Mid-face Suture™ device represents a significant advancement in that it allows a surgeon to perform a mid-face rejuvenation through a single incision with or without the need for an endoscope, using only local anesthesia.”

Dr. Nicanor Isse, a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience implanting the Silhouette Mid-face Suture™device, will be hosting educational seminars to teach surgeons how to use the new product. More information regarding his course may be found at www.epses.org According to Dr. Isse, “The Silhouette Mid-face Suture™ was specifically designed to provide a simplified, but very effective procedure to correct mid-facial laxity while achieving excellent results through a single upper incision.” “Due to the Silhouette Mid-face Suture™ unique design, using bioabsorbable, clear, hollow “cones”, the device provides an extreme anchoring structure for soft tissue elevation and fixation.

The Silhouette Mid-face Suture™ is now available throughout the U.S. and Kolster Methods, Inc. plans to introduce the product into worldwide markets sometime this winter or early spring 2007.
