service / Thread-lifting
A jawline thread lift that looks at cheek sagging and a blurred jawline together
to help refine the V-line.
Why Lisoom
A jawline (V-line) thread lift is a non-surgical lift that pulls the sagging soft tissue of the cheeks and jawline along the blurred jawline upward toward the temple to refine the V-line contour again.
Absorbable threads of the PDO (Polydioxanone), PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid), and PCL (Polycaprolactone) types are inserted into the dermis and subcutaneous layer; cog threads anchor the tissue to create traction, and mono threads support the induction of collagen production.
When the bone structure itself is large, the extent of the result is limited, so we also consider whether bone surgery would be more suitable; when soft-tissue sagging is the main cause, the contour is refined with a vector design matched to the direction of sagging.
Jawline Thread Lift Before & After
DESIGN PRINCIPLE
Soft tissue that has sagged along the blurred jawline is pulled toward the temple and backward. Cog threads anchor the tissue to re-create the V-line contour, and mono threads support collagen stimulation. When the bone structure itself is large, the extent of the result is limited.
When the contour has blurred because the cheeks have sagged downward, they are pulled upward toward the temple. The V-line is linked not only to the jaw but also to sagging of the cheek contour, so a natural result requires cheek traction as well. Traction is stable only when the vector direction is accurate.
The left-right balance of the contour seen from the front is refined as well. Sagging is often asymmetric, so the number of threads and the entry positions are planned differently for each side. Temporary left-right differences after treatment settle with time.
The curve of the profile and the chin-to-neck angle are refined together. A natural V-line is created only when the traction line is decided by looking at the whole profile contour, not the jawline alone. If sagging of the neck contour is also present, a separate assessment is needed.
OUR PRINCIPLE
For the V-line, the direction of traction, more than the number of threads, determines the result. RESUM assesses bone structure and soft-tissue sagging separately and then explains the suitable scope of treatment.
Directional Design
After first setting the direction of sagging and the stable line to lift toward, we decide the entry point and the insertion angle. Even with the same number of threads, a natural V-line refinement is possible only when the vector is accurate; if the vector is off, the result looks unnatural or fades quickly.
Right Thread Count
The result does not increase in proportion to the number of threads. We recommend only the appropriate number for the area; too many threads raise the risk of dimpling, knot irritation, and asymmetry. If you are concerned that the result may fall short, we reassess the thread type (such as PCL) rather than increasing the number of threads.
Honest Limitations
When the jaw bone structure itself is large, we explain clearly at your consultation that the extent of the result from a V-line thread lift is limited. If you are at a stage where bone surgery or another method is more suitable, we tell you so honestly and do not push the treatment.
For the jawline, traction matters, so cog threads, which have fine barbs on their surface, are mainly chosen, with smooth mono threads supporting collagen stimulation. The thread physically pulls the sagging jawline, and as it breaks down a secondary effect is added: it induces collagen production. Taking into account each type's breakdown rate and strength of collagen stimulation, the thread is chosen according to the stage of sagging. PDO (Polydioxanone): breaks down in 6-8 months, lasts 9-12 months · PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid): breaks down in 12-18 months, relatively strong collagen stimulation · PCL (Polycaprolactone): breaks down in 18-24 months, relatively long-lasting · Cog (traction) + mono (collagen stimulation) forms used together
The V-line is linked not only to the jaw but also to sagging of the cheek contour, so it looks natural only when cheek traction is included. After first setting the direction of sagging and the stable line to lift toward, we decide the entry point and the insertion angle. Sagging is often asymmetric, so the number of threads and the entry positions are planned differently for each side to refine the balance of both the front view and the profile. Jawline-to-cheek contour pulled toward the temple · Vector matched to the direction of sagging designed first · For left-right asymmetry, the number of threads and entry positions adjusted differently · Profile curve and chin-to-neck angle assessed together as well

Doctor's Note
With a V-line thread lift, inserting more threads does not bring a proportionally greater result. Which line is lifted, and in which direction, determines the result. In our anti-aging skin practice, we use only thread types that have been academically validated, and we tell you honestly that for contour changes caused by the bone structure itself, another treatment may be more suitable. We put a natural refinement of the contour ahead of an excessive number of threads.
PROCEDURE FLOW
01
PHASE I
We assess face shape, the direction of sagging, and past treatment history, and evaluate bone structure and soft-tissue sagging separately to judge whether you are at a stage suited to V-line traction.
02
PHASE II
Looking at the blurred jawline and cheek sagging together, we set the traction line toward the temple and backward, and check for left-right asymmetry to decide the number of threads and the insertion lines.
03
PHASE III
After local anesthesia, cog threads anchor the sagging tissue to lift the jawline contour, and mono threads support collagen stimulation.
04
PHASE IV
We explain swelling care and how left-right differences settle, and plan with you the timing of the next touch-up to maintain the V-line.
