What is a V-line thread lift?
A V-line thread lift is a thread lift designed for the lower face. The doctor inserts fine, absorbable threads, typically barbed PDO or MINT threads, through small entry points and guides them along the jawline and lower cheeks. The barbs hold the tissue in a lifted position, reducing jowls and creating a cleaner line from ear to chin.
As the threads dissolve over the following months, they stimulate new collagen, which helps the skin stay firmer. Because the shape of the lower face also depends on the jaw muscle and fat, the doctor may suggest combining threads with jaw Botox or other contouring treatments for a more balanced V-line.
Who is a good candidate for a V-line thread lift?
- Early jowls or a sagging jawline
- Loss of definition in the lower face
- Mild to moderate skin laxity
- People wanting a slimmer, more contoured face without surgery
Threads lift soft tissue but cannot change bone structure or remove fat, so a wide jaw caused by a large masseter muscle or a full double chin may need other treatments. The procedure should be postponed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with an active infection in the area, or with some bleeding disorders. Very loose or heavy skin may need a different approach, which the doctor will discuss.

What are the results and recovery like?
The jawline usually looks more lifted as soon as the threads are placed, and firmness tends to improve over the following weeks. Mild swelling, tightness, small bruises or a feeling of pulling when chewing or opening the mouth wide are common for about two to five days. Most people return to everyday activities within a day or two. Results vary with age, skin quality and the threads used, and typically last around 12–18 months.
How the treatment works
-
Consultation & design
The doctor assesses your jawline, skin laxity and face shape, then marks the lift lines and chooses the thread type and number.
-
Anaesthesia
Numbing cream and local anaesthetic are applied at the entry points for comfort.
-
Thread insertion
Threads are placed along the jawline and lower cheeks with a fine cannula and gently adjusted to lift and define.
-
Aftercare
Expect mild swelling or tightness for a few days. Avoid facial massage, saunas, alcohol, heavy chewing and wide mouth opening for about one to two weeks.
Tips for international patients
- Send front and side photos on WhatsApp before your trip so the doctor can review your jawline.
- Have the lift at least four to five days before any important event or your flight home.
- Choose softer foods for the first few days to reduce pulling along the jaw.
- Ask whether jaw Botox or skin tightening would complement your result.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a V-line thread lift last?
Results typically last around 12–18 months, depending on the threads used, your age and skin quality. Collagen stimulated by the threads can support firmness beyond that.
Does a V-line thread lift hurt?
Local anaesthetic is used, so most people feel pressure and mild discomfort rather than sharp pain. The jaw may feel tender or tight for a few days.
What is the downtime after a V-line thread lift?
Most people return to daily activities within one or two days. Swelling, bruising or tightness usually settles within about two to five days.
Will a V-line thread lift make my face smaller?
Threads lift sagging tissue and sharpen the jawline, which can make the lower face look slimmer. They do not reduce muscle or bone, so jaw Botox may be suggested if the masseter muscle is large.
Can I combine a V-line thread lift with jaw Botox?
Yes, the two are often combined because threads lift the skin while Botox slims the jaw muscle. The doctor will advise on timing at consultation.
How much does a V-line thread lift cost in Seoul?
The price depends on the number and type of threads, so the doctor confirms your exact price at consultation. You can see our published prices on the lifting price list.
