A double chin thread lift places fine, dissolvable threads under the skin of the jaw and chin to lift sagging tissue and define the jawline without surgery. At Egg Clinic in Sinsa, Gangnam, a doctor assesses whether loose skin, fat or both cause your double chin and may combine threads with fat-dissolving injections or HIFU; mild swelling usually settles within a few days.

What is a double chin thread lift?
A double chin can be caused by excess fat under the chin, loose skin along the jaw, or both. A thread lift addresses the sagging part: the doctor inserts fine PDO threads with small cogs beneath the skin of the jawline and under the chin, then gently tightens them so the tissue is lifted and held in a firmer position.
The threads dissolve over the following months, stimulating collagen as they go, which helps the skin stay firmer. Because threads lift rather than remove fat, the doctor often pairs them with fat-dissolving injections or energy-based tightening when fullness is part of the problem. It works on similar principles to our V-line thread lift.
Who is a good candidate?
- Mild to moderate sagging under the chin or along the jaw
- A blurred jawline or early jowls
- Loose skin remaining after weight loss (mild)
- People wanting a sharper profile without surgery
Threads alone are less effective when the double chin is mainly fat, or when skin is very loose and heavy. Treatment should be postponed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with a skin infection in the area, or with some bleeding disorders. The doctor will suggest the right mix of lifting and fat reduction, or a different approach such as double chin treatments without threads.

How the treatment works
-
Consultation & design
The doctor assesses skin laxity and fat under the chin, then marks the lift lines and chooses the thread type and number.
-
Anaesthesia
Local anaesthetic is applied at the entry points to keep you comfortable.
-
Thread insertion
Threads are placed along the jawline and under the chin with a fine cannula and gently tightened.
-
Aftercare
Expect mild swelling or tightness for a few days. Avoid wide mouth opening, chin massage and saunas for about two weeks.
Tips for international patients
- Send side-profile photos on WhatsApp so the doctor can say whether threads, fat reduction or both suit you.
- Schedule threads early in your trip so swelling settles before you fly home.
- Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning supplements for a few days beforehand to reduce bruising.
- Sleep on your back with your head slightly raised for the first few nights.
Frequently asked questions
Does a thread lift get rid of a double chin?
Threads lift loose skin and sharpen the jawline, but they do not remove fat. If fat is part of the problem, the doctor may combine threads with fat-dissolving injections.
How long does a double chin thread lift last?
Results typically last around 12–18 months, depending on thread type, age and skin quality.
Does a double chin thread lift hurt?
Local anaesthetic is used, so most people feel pressure and mild discomfort. Tenderness for a few days is normal.
What is the downtime after a double chin thread lift?
Most people return to normal activities within a day or two. Mild swelling or tightness usually settles within about a week.
Can I combine threads with other double chin treatments?
Yes. Threads are often combined with fat-dissolving injections or HIFU, with timing planned by the doctor.
How much does a double chin thread lift cost in Seoul?
The price depends on the number of threads and any combined treatment, so the doctor confirms it at consultation. See our lifting price list.
