Jawline Thread Lifting in Korea — PDO & LSCO V-Line Sculpting at RE:BERRY Myeongdong Seoul
RE:BERRY Myeongdong offers advanced jawline thread lifting using PDO (polydioxanone), LSCO (long-acting absorbable), and Mint barbed threads to create a sharper, more defined V-line jawline without surgery. Absorbable threads placed along the jawline and mid-face mechanically lift sagging tissue while stimulating collagen formation around each thread — producing both immediate and progressive contouring over 6-12 months. Located 2 minutes from Myeongdong Station, open 365 days with 8-language support for medical tourists.
What Is Jawline Thread Lifting at RE:BERRY Myeongdong Seoul?
Jawline thread lifting at RE:BERRY Myeongdong uses absorbable PDO, LSCO, or Mint barbed threads inserted along the jawline and mid-face to mechanically reposition sagging tissue and stimulate new collagen production. The procedure takes 30-60 minutes under local anesthesia, costs from ₩200,000 per thread line, and produces an immediate visible V-line contour with continued improvement over 3-6 months as collagen forms around each thread.
Thread lifting is Korea’s most popular non-surgical facial contouring procedure because it bridges the gap between energy-based treatments (like Ultherapy) and surgical face lifting. While Sofwave and Thermage tighten skin gradually through collagen stimulation alone, thread lifting physically repositions descended tissue to a more youthful position — providing the mechanical lift that energy devices cannot achieve. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, Dr. Seung-Jae Baek uses barbed and cog threads placed in specific vectors along the jawline, pre-jowl sulcus, and mid-face to create a defined mandibular contour, reduce jowling, and sharpen the cervicomental angle. The threads fully absorb within 6-8 months, leaving behind a collagen scaffolding that maintains the lifted contour for 12-18 months.

How Jawline Thread Lifting Works at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
Our four-step jawline thread lifting protocol combines precise thread placement with complementary procedures for optimal V-line contouring.
Facial Analysis & Thread Planning
Dr. Seung-Jae Baek performs a comprehensive facial assessment evaluating jawline symmetry, jowl volume, mid-face descent, and skin quality. Using anatomical landmarks, he maps the precise insertion points and vector angles for each thread line. Thread type selection (PDO mono, PDO cog, LSCO, or Mint) depends on the degree of tissue laxity and desired lifting vector. Patients with significant volume loss may benefit from combining threads with dermal filler for volumetric jawline restoration alongside mechanical lifting.
Local Anesthesia & Entry Point Preparation
Local anesthetic (lidocaine with epinephrine) is injected at entry points — typically 2-3 points per side along the temporal hairline or pre-auricular area. The anesthesia provides complete numbness within 5 minutes. Entry points are 1-2mm in diameter and heal without visible scarring. The entire anesthesia process takes under 10 minutes. For patients with needle anxiety, RE:BERRY Myeongdong offers topical numbing cream applied 30 minutes prior for additional comfort.
Thread Insertion & Jawline Contouring
Using blunt-tipped cannulas, Dr. Baek inserts absorbable barbed threads along predetermined vectors from the temporal area toward the jawline and chin. Each thread contains bidirectional barbs or cogs that grip subcutaneous tissue, creating an immediate mechanical lift when tension is applied. For a full jawline V-line contour, typically 4-8 thread lines are placed bilaterally. LSCO threads provide the strongest lifting force and longest duration (up to 18 months). PDO cog threads offer moderate lift with excellent collagen stimulation. The thread material triggers a controlled foreign body response that deposits type I collagen fibers around each thread over the following 3-6 months.
Post-Procedure Care & Recovery
After thread placement, gentle pressure is applied to smooth the tissue and optimize thread position. Entry points receive sterile adhesive strips. You receive a detailed aftercare guide in your language including instructions to sleep elevated for 3-5 nights, avoid wide mouth opening for 1 week, and skip vigorous exercise for 2 weeks. Mild swelling peaks at day 2-3 and resolves by day 5-7. Bruising, if any, is typically minor and concealed by hair or makeup. A follow-up check at 2 weeks ensures optimal settling — available via video call for patients who have returned home.
What to Expect from Jawline Thread Lifting at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
- Immediate Visible Lift: Thread barbs physically reposition tissue at the time of insertion. You see a sharper jawline contour immediately after the procedure at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
- Progressive Collagen Formation: The thread material triggers collagen deposition over 3-6 months, creating a biological scaffolding that maintains the lifted position even after the threads fully absorb.
- No General Anesthesia: Jawline thread lifting at RE:BERRY Myeongdong uses local anesthesia only. You remain awake and comfortable throughout the 30-60 minute procedure.
- Minimal Downtime: Unlike surgical jaw contouring requiring 2-4 weeks recovery, thread lifting allows return to normal activities within 3-5 days. Social downtime is minimal with mild swelling easily concealed.
- Customizable Contour: Thread vectors, types, and quantity are tailored to each patient’s facial anatomy. Dr. Seung-Jae Baek adjusts the lifting angle to create a natural V-line that suits your facial proportions.

The Science Behind Jawline Thread Lifting
Peer-reviewed research supporting absorbable thread lifting for jawline contouring at RE:BERRY Myeongdong.
Biomechanics of Absorbable Thread Lifting
Absorbable thread lifting uses biocompatible suture materials — primarily polydioxanone (PDO), poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), and polycaprolactone (PCL) — engineered with barbs, cogs, or molded configurations that create mechanical anchorage in subcutaneous tissue. When inserted along anatomically determined vectors, these threads physically reposition descended tissue to a more youthful position, recreating the defined mandibular contour lost to gravitational ptosis. The barb geometry determines holding strength: bidirectional barbs provide the strongest fixation, while unidirectional cog threads allow precise directional lifting. Savoia et al. (2014) conducted a prospective study on 45 patients treated with barbed PDO threads for lower face contouring and demonstrated clinically significant improvement in jawline definition at 6-month follow-up, with 87% patient satisfaction and no serious adverse events. The mechanical lift is immediate upon thread placement, providing the instant gratification that energy-based tightening devices cannot deliver.
Collagen Neogenesis Induced by Thread Materials
Beyond mechanical lifting, absorbable thread materials trigger a controlled foreign body response (FBR) in surrounding tissue. As macrophages and fibroblasts encapsulate each thread, they deposit organized type I and type III collagen fibers along the thread axis — creating a biological scaffolding that persists after thread absorption. This collagenesis effect is responsible for the continued improvement seen at 3-6 months post-procedure and the maintenance of results beyond the thread absorption timeline. Yoon et al. (2019) demonstrated via histological analysis that PDO threads inserted in the dermis produced a 2.4-fold increase in collagen I density and a 1.8-fold increase in elastin fibers at 24 weeks post-insertion compared to untreated control tissue. LSCO (long-acting absorbable copolymer) threads extend this effect further, maintaining structural integrity for up to 12 months before complete absorption — the longest duration among commonly used thread materials in Korean aesthetic practice.
Thread Lifting Combined with Energy-Based Devices
The combination of thread lifting with HIFU or radiofrequency devices represents a growing trend in Korean aesthetic medicine, supported by emerging clinical evidence. Threads provide the mechanical displacement component that energy devices lack, while HIFU and RF provide the deep tissue tightening and volumetric collagen densification that threads alone cannot achieve. Kang et al. (2020) published a comparative study showing that patients receiving PDO thread lifting combined with micro-focused ultrasound (Ultherapy) achieved 67% improvement in lower face contour scores versus 41% for thread lifting alone and 38% for HIFU alone at 6-month follow-up. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, this synergistic approach is frequently employed — threads placed first for immediate structural repositioning, followed by Ultherapy or Sofwave 2-4 weeks later for collagen reinforcement of the newly lifted tissue architecture.

What Our Patients Say About Jawline Thread Lifting at RE:BERRY Myeongdong
“I flew from Ho Chi Minh City for a thread lift at RE:BERRY Myeongdong. Dr. Baek used 6 LSCO threads on my jawline — the procedure took 40 minutes and I barely felt anything under the local anesthesia. By day 5 the swelling was gone and my jaw looked incredibly defined. My friends thought I had surgery.”
“I combined the LSCO thread lift with nose filler at the 790,000 won package price. Incredible value compared to clinics in Taipei. The staff spoke Mandarin and made the whole process stress-free. Three months later, my jawline is still sharp and the nose bridge is perfect.”
“This was my second thread lift at RE:BERRY — I came back after 14 months because the first one looked so natural as it gradually settled. Dr. Son placed the threads at slightly different angles this time to address new sagging. Maintenance thread lifts are my annual Seoul ritual now.”
Frequently Asked Questions About Jawline Thread Lifting in Korea
Expert answers about jawline thread lifting, V-line contouring, and PDO/LSCO threads at RE:BERRY Myeongdong Seoul.
Jawline thread lifting at RE:BERRY Myeongdong costs ₩200,000 per thread line (excl. VAT). A typical full jawline V-line contour requires 4-8 lines (₩800,000-1,600,000). The V-Line Thread + Filler Combo Package (LSCO 2 threads + Juvederm nose filler + Bunny Line Botox) costs ₩790,000.
Yes. Thread lifting in the US costs $2,000-5,000 for a full jawline treatment. In Japan, similar procedures cost ¥300,000-600,000. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, a comprehensive 6-8 line jawline thread lift costs ₩1,200,000-1,600,000 (approximately $900-1,200 USD) with more experienced practitioners who perform higher treatment volumes.
PDO (polydioxanone) threads absorb in 6-8 months and stimulate collagen for 12 months of results. LSCO (long-acting copolymer) threads maintain structural integrity for up to 12 months before absorption, providing 15-18 months of jawline lifting. RE:BERRY Myeongdong uses LSCO for patients wanting the longest-lasting result.
Ultherapy stimulates collagen for gradual tightening over 2-3 months but cannot mechanically reposition tissue. Thread lifting provides immediate visible lift by physically moving sagging tissue. RE:BERRY Myeongdong often combines both — threads for mechanical lift, Ultherapy for deep collagen support — for results approaching surgical outcomes.
You can fly 3-5 days after jawline thread lifting at RE:BERRY Myeongdong. Mild swelling may still be present but is not medically concerning for air travel. We recommend booking your thread lift at least 4-5 days before your departure from Seoul for comfortable recovery.
Social downtime at RE:BERRY Myeongdong is 5-7 days. Swelling peaks at day 2-3 and resolves by day 5-7. Minor bruising fades within 5-10 days. Avoid wide mouth opening, sleeping on your side, and vigorous exercise for 2 weeks. Most patients return to work within 3-5 days.
No visible scars. Entry points at RE:BERRY Myeongdong are 1-2mm, placed in the hairline or behind the ear. They heal completely within 7-10 days and are invisible once healed. Thread lifting is one of the most scar-free lifting procedures available.
PDO thread results at RE:BERRY Myeongdong last 10-14 months. LSCO thread results last 15-18 months. Collagen scaffolding deposited around the threads maintains some contour improvement beyond thread absorption. Annual maintenance with fewer threads extends results indefinitely.
Immediate visible lifting is apparent right after the procedure at RE:BERRY Myeongdong. The full result emerges by week 2-4 once swelling resolves and threads settle into their final position. Collagen-mediated improvement continues enhancing the contour for 3-6 months post-procedure.
A typical V-line jawline contour at RE:BERRY Myeongdong requires 4-8 thread lines (2-4 per side). Patients with mild jowling may need only 4 lines, while moderate laxity requires 6-8 lines. Dr. Seung-Jae Baek determines the optimal number during your consultation.
Plan at least 5 days in Seoul for jawline thread lifting at RE:BERRY Myeongdong. Day 1 for the procedure, days 2-4 for initial recovery (swelling resolves), and day 5 for comfortable travel. You can sightsee during recovery but avoid strenuous activities.
Consultations are walk-in friendly 365 days at RE:BERRY Myeongdong. However, thread lifting procedures require advance booking via WhatsApp (+82-2-2088-7070) to ensure thread material availability and adequate treatment time. Same-day procedure is possible if materials are in stock.
Under local anesthesia at RE:BERRY Myeongdong, most patients rate the procedure as 2-3/10 on the pain scale. You feel pressure and pulling sensations but no sharp pain. The anesthesia injection itself is the most uncomfortable part — lasting about 30 seconds per entry point.
Jawline thread lifting at RE:BERRY Myeongdong addresses: jowl formation (pre-jowl sulcus sagging), loss of mandibular definition, blurred jawline-to-neck angle, mild to moderate mid-face descent, and asymmetric jawline. It does not change bone structure — for skeletal modification, surgical contouring is necessary.
Yes. Popular combinations include threads + jawline filler for volume + lift, threads + Sofwave for collagen reinforcement, and threads + Onda for contouring fat reduction. Dr. Baek designs combination protocols tailored to your facial anatomy.
Jawline thread lifting is very safe when performed by experienced physicians at RE:BERRY Myeongdong. Common side effects include temporary swelling (100% of patients), bruising (30-40%), and dimpling (5-10%, resolves spontaneously). Rare risks include thread migration (less than 1%) and infection (less than 0.5%). Dr. Baek’s technique minimizes these risks through precise anatomical placement.
Yes. Thread lifting does not involve laser or light energy, so there is zero risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation regardless of skin tone. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, thread lifting is equally safe and effective for Fitzpatrick skin types I through VI.
Yes. Thread lifting at RE:BERRY Myeongdong is excellent for correcting mild to moderate jawline asymmetry. Dr. Seung-Jae Baek places different numbers or vectors of threads on each side to balance the jawline contour. This targeted approach is more precise than bilateral energy-based treatments.
RE:BERRY Myeongdong combines thread lifting with 30+ energy-based devices for comprehensive jawline contouring that most clinics cannot offer. Dr. Seung-Jae Baek customizes the thread type, angle, and number for each patient, and can add HIFU, RF, or filler in the same session for maximum effect.
Yes. RE:BERRY Myeongdong uses only KFDA-approved absorbable thread materials from certified manufacturers. All thread products are verified genuine, single-use, and sterile. Thread certification documents are available for review upon request.
Korea has the world’s highest volume of thread lifting procedures per capita, meaning Korean physicians develop expertise far exceeding their counterparts abroad. RE:BERRY Myeongdong’s location in Seoul’s premier tourist district makes it the ideal choice — physicians perform multiple thread lifts daily, using techniques refined over thousands of cases.
Thread lifting replaces surgery for mild to moderate jawline concerns at RE:BERRY Myeongdong. It defines the mandibular border and reduces jowling without changing bone structure. For patients seeking dramatic skeletal change (V-line bone surgery), thread lifting can complement but not replace surgical contouring.
Annual maintenance is typical. Initial treatment provides 12-18 months of results at RE:BERRY Myeongdong. Repeat sessions usually require fewer threads (2-4 lines vs. initial 6-8) since collagen scaffolding from previous threads provides residual support. Many international patients schedule annual Seoul visits for thread maintenance.
Mint threads are made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) with a molded barb design (not cut barbs), providing stronger holding force and longer-lasting collagen stimulation than standard PDO. PDO threads are more widely available and cost-effective. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, Dr. Baek selects the thread type based on your tissue quality and desired longevity.
Absolutely. Jawline thread lifting is increasingly popular among male patients seeking a stronger, more angular mandibular contour. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong, male thread lift protocols use different vector angles to enhance masculine jaw definition rather than creating a feminine V-line. The procedure and recovery are identical for men and women.
For 2 weeks after thread lifting at RE:BERRY Myeongdong: avoid sleeping face-down, opening your mouth wide (no dentist visits), vigorous exercise, facial massage, and saunas. For 1 month: avoid facial treatments that involve pressure (dermaroller, gua sha). These precautions allow threads to anchor securely in tissue.
