Jawline Thread Lift explained

A jawline thread lift uses cog threads placed from the cheek or ear area down toward the jaw. It is one of the most requested thread lifts in Korea for a slimmer, V-line look. It treats sagging, not jaw bone width or muscle bulk.

How Jawline Thread Lift works

Under local anaesthetic, the doctor passes barbed PDO, PLLA or PCL threads through the fat layer along planned lines from near the ear toward the jowl. The barbs catch the sagging tissue, which is lifted back toward the cheek and ear. The dissolving thread also triggers collagen along its path.

Who Jawline Thread Lift is for

• Early to moderate jowls
• A blurred or soft jawline
• Mild sagging below the jaw
• People wanting a V-line effect without surgery
• Combining with chin fillers or masseter Botox

Who should avoid Jawline Thread Lift

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women
• A wide jaw caused by bone or masseter muscle (other treatments suit better)
• Heavy neck and jowl skin that needs surgery
• Bleeding disorders or blood thinners that cannot be paused
• Active infection or inflamed acne in the area
