Achieve a Sharper Jawline Just in One Day: Double Chin Thread Lifting

Unlike celebrities whose full-body photos are constantly scrutinized, most people won’t notice small changes in body fat. Even if you gain 5–6kg, it’s usually not obvious just by looking at your body in everyday life.

However, even small changes in submental (under-chin) fat can dramatically affect how youthful and slim your face appears. While overall weight gain isn’t always noticeable, a fuller chin can prompt comments like “You look puffy” or “You’ve gained weight.” The good news for travelers and busy professionals: the chin area is one of the fastest places to create a visible, confidence-boosting change—often in time for a big meeting, reunion, or photos.

If you’re visiting Korea and want a quick, effective way to refine your profile without a long recovery, double chin thread lifting may be the solution.

What Is Double Chin Thread Lifting?

Thread lifting uses medical-grade dissolvable threads (PDO, polydioxanone) placed beneath the skin to physically lift and tighten the tissue. For the double chin and lower face, threads are positioned in the SMAS layer (the same tissue layer targeted during surgical facelifts) to improve jawline definition and reduce a fuller or sagging appearance under the chin.

Compared with device-based treatments like ultrasound or radiofrequency—where results may require multiple sessions—thread lifting produces an immediate mechanical lift that you can see right away, with further refinement as the tissues settle.

Why Travelers Choose Thread Lifting for the Double Chin

– Definite: Threads create a clear, mechanical lift for visible definition along the jawline. – Immediate: Most patients see instant change, with continued improvement as swelling subsides. – Safe: PDO is a time-tested, dissolvable material used in surgery for decades.

This makes thread lifting an attractive option for medical tourists seeking impactful results within a short trip.

Safety and Materials

PDO (polydioxanone) has been used safely in various surgical specialties for over 30 years. The threads gradually dissolve while stimulating collagen, supporting skin quality over time. When performed by experienced specialists with careful planning, thread lifting offers a strong safety profile and minimal long-term side effects.

Possible Side Effects and How They’re Managed

Common, temporary effects immediately after treatment: – Mild to moderate swelling, bruising, soreness, or a tight “pulling” sensation – A brief “snapping” sound when opening the mouth widely in the first days; this is typically a minor tension adjustment in the tissue, not a thread breaking, and usually does not affect the lift

Technique-related issues (uncommon and usually avoidable with expert planning): – Asymmetry, surface irregularities, puckering, or an unnatural contour if thread design doesn’t match your anatomy

What to know: – Most swelling and tenderness resolve within about a week. – Threads naturally dissolve over time. If a contour is not ideal, it often softens as the threads resorb. – If you prefer a faster correction, contact your clinic for evaluation, potential thread adjustment, or supportive aftercare.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a strong candidate if you: – Have mild to moderate fullness or laxity under the chin and along the jawline – Want visible, fast results with minimal downtime – Prefer to avoid surgery or multiple device sessions

Thread lifting may be less suitable for: – Very heavy submental fat or very lax skin (other options or combinations may be recommended) – Active infection, wound healing disorders, uncontrolled systemic illness, or if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding – Those on blood thinners or with bleeding disorders (discuss with your physician)

A personalized consultation will determine the best plan for your anatomy and goals. In some cases, thread lifting can be combined with other modalities for optimal contouring.
