Thread Lifting in Busan Seomyeon

Quick answer: A thread lift places dissolvable medical threads (PDO, PCL or similar) under the skin through fine needles. Barbed or cogged threads hold and reposition sagging tissue for an immediate lift, while the body builds collagen around them as they dissolve. It suits mild-to-moderate sagging of the jawline, jowls and cheeks, takes about 30–60 minutes under local anaesthesia, and results typically last 12–18 months.

Who is a good candidate?

Thread lifting suits people in their 30s to 50s with early to moderate sagging and reasonable skin thickness who want more lift than an energy device can give but do not want surgery. Very heavy jowls or loose neck skin may need surgical options.

Threads vs energy-based lifting

Devices such as Ultherapy Prime tighten tissue gradually through heat; threads physically reposition it on the day. Many plans combine both. See all face lifting options .

Thread lifting FAQ

  • How long does a thread lift last?

    The visible lift usually lasts 12–18 months. Threads dissolve within about 6–18 months depending on material, and the collagen they stimulate helps maintain firmness.

  • Does a thread lift hurt?

    The area is numbed with local anaesthetic, so most people feel pressure rather than pain. Tenderness for a few days afterwards is normal.

  • Can I travel after a thread lift?

    Yes, but plan 3–5 days before important events or photos to allow swelling and small dimples to settle.

  • How much does a thread lift cost?

    Price depends on the number and type of threads, so it is quoted after consultation.
