Quick answer · What is V-Line Thread Lift?
A V-line thread lift uses cogged dissolvable threads, such as MINT or PDO, placed under the skin of the lower face to lift jowls and sagging tissue upwards towards the ears. The lift is visible immediately, and the threads stimulate collagen as they dissolve. The procedure takes about 45–60 minutes under local anaesthetic, swelling or tugging usually lasts three to seven days, and results typically last around 12 months.

How it works
Lifting the lower face along precise vectors
Cogged threads have small barbs that grip the tissue under the skin. Placed from the jowls and mouth corners towards an anchor point near the ear, they lift the heavy lower face back into a slimmer, inverted-triangle shape, while collagen forms around the threads as they slowly dissolve.
-
Contour mapping
Your doctor assesses jaw shape, fat and sagging and marks the entry points and lifting vectors.
-
Thread placement
After local anaesthetic, the cogged threads are inserted with a fine cannula and gently tensioned to lift the jawline.
-
Settling
The jawline looks sharper straight away; swelling and tugging ease over three to seven days.
Before & after

FAQ
V-Line Thread Lift questions we hear every day
Does a V-line thread lift hurt?
Local anaesthetic is used, so most patients feel pressure and pulling rather than pain. Tenderness when chewing or yawning for a few days is normal.
How long does a V-line thread lift last?
Results typically last around 12 months, depending on the thread type and your skin. Collagen formed around the threads helps the contour stay firmer.
What is the downtime?
Mild swelling, small bruises and tugging usually last three to seven days. Avoid wide mouth opening, hard foods and facial massage for about a week.
Can I combine it with jaw botox?
Yes. If a wide jaw comes from a strong masseter muscle, jaw botox slims it, while threads lift sagging tissue, so the two work well together.
Will the threads be visible?
No. Threads sit under the skin and dissolve over months; tiny entry points usually fade within days.
How much does a V-line thread lift cost in Myeongdong?
Price depends on the thread type and the number of threads used. The same price list applies to every nationality and is given to you in writing before treatment. See our lifting price list.
