Double Chin Thread Lift in Seoul, Korea
What Is It?
The Double Chin Thread Lift is a non-surgical technique to lift and define the jawline and under-chin area using dissolvable threads. These threads are inserted beneath the skin, anchored into deeper tissues to support and reshape the area, stimulate collagen production, and reduce sagging or fullness under the chin.
Why Choose It in Seoul?
- Clinics in Seoul specialize in facial contouring and thread-lifts for the jawline and chin, combining Asia-specific techniques with aesthetic precision.
- Many offer English-friendly consultation services for international patients.
- The procedure is relatively quick, minimally invasive, and ideal for patients wanting improvement without full surgery.
What Concerns Does It Address?
This treatment is best for:
- Mild to moderate “double chin” (under-chin fullness)
- Loss of jawline definition or a soft, sagging chin/neck border
- Early signs of skin laxity in the lower face
- Patients who want improvement but are not yet ready for surgical neck or chin lift
How Is It Performed?
- Local numbing is applied, then threads (often PDO, PLLA or other bio-absorbable materials) are inserted under the skin around the chin and jawline.
- The threads anchor into the deeper tissue and gently pull the skin upward and inward for a stronger contour.
- Over time, the threads dissolve and leave behind stimulated collagen, which helps maintain the lift and firmness.
- Session typically lasts around 30-60 minutes.
Downtime & Recovery
- Downtime is minimal: mild swelling or bruising may occur for 1-3 days.
- You can usually resume most daily activities almost immediately (though heavy chin pressure or strenuous exercise may be avoided for a few days).
- Makeup can often be applied the next day.
- Results include immediate lift plus gradual improvement over 4-8 weeks as collagen forms.
How Long Do Results Last?
- The initial physical lift effect from the threads is immediate; the longer-term effect depends on thread type, skin quality, and care.
- Many clinics state results last 12-18 months (or more) before a top-up session is recommended.
- Maintaining good skin care, avoiding major weight fluctuation, and protecting from sun help prolong results.
Who Is the Ideal Candidate?
Best suited for individuals who:
- Have mild to moderate under-chin fullness or jawline sagging
- Are looking for a non-surgical option with minimal downtime
- Have realistic expectations and understand that results are subtle—not as dramatic as surgical lift
- Are in good overall health and willing to follow aftercare instructions
Key Considerations Before Booking in Seoul
- Ensure the clinic has experience with chin-and-jawline thread lifts (not just mid-face lifts).
- Ask about the type of thread used, number of threads, anchoring technique and physician’s experience.
- Clarify expected cost and whether follow-up is included.
- Confirm downtime and aftercare instructions (chin support, avoiding certain movements, etc.).
- Plan your travel schedule so you have 2-3 days of minimal social commitments in case of swelling.
