Facial aging is not just isolated sagging or hollowing — it is a change in overall contour. The jawline becomes blurred, nasolabial folds deepen, marionette lines appear, and a double chin forms. Single-point treatments often miss the bigger picture. APTOS V-shape full-face thread lift uses multi-directional, multi-layer thread placement to address the entire lower face contour in one session. Seoul’s Rappoel Dermatology uses APTOS bidirectional barbed absorbable threads to build a three-dimensional support network at the periosteal and subcutaneous layers, creating a natural V-shape face.
What Is V-Shape Thread Lift?
- Core Concept: Not just pulling in one direction, but building a V-shape lifting framework from three anchor points — cheekbones, jaw angles, and chin
- Multi-layer Placement: Deep layer (periosteal) for structural support, superficial layer (subcutaneous) for skin tightening
- Thread Characteristics: APTOS bidirectional barbed PDO threads with upward and downward barbs for even lifting force distribution
- Collagen Stimulation: Threads stimulate collagen production during absorption, with effects continuing after threads dissolve
What V-Shape Thread Lift Addresses
- Blurred Jawline: Threads tighten from ear to chin direction, rebuilding a sharp jawline
- Nasolabial Folds: Upward lifting from cheekbone direction reduces fold depth
- Marionette Lines: Downward lines from mouth corner to jaw improved by upward lifting
- Double Chin: Tightening submental area to reduce under-chin fullness
- Cheek Sagging: Overall upward lift restores cheek firmness
Rappoel’s V-Shape Thread Lift Process
- Pre-treatment Design: Doctor marks V-shape lifting directions, thread count, and placement layers — typically 8-16 threads
- Anesthesia: Local infiltration anesthesia plus topical numbing, painless throughout
- Placement: Guide needles insert APTOS threads along designed paths to target layers
- Immediate Adjustment: Doctor checks symmetry and adjusts thread tension
- Total Time: About 60-90 minutes
- Recovery: 3-7 days mild swelling; avoid laughing and hard chewing for 1-2 weeks
- Duration: Threads absorb in 3-6 months; collagen-building effects last 12-18 months
Ideal Candidates
- Jawline becoming blurred, chin contour unclear
- Both nasolabial folds and marionette lines present
- Overall facial sagging but not severe enough for surgical facelift
- Wanting one treatment to address multiple aging concerns
- Previous single-point thread lift with insufficient comprehensive results
APTOS is a thread lift brand developed in Russia, certified in over 60 countries. Its bidirectional barb design excels in lifting force and stability. Rappoel Clinic is located 3 minutes from Gangnam Station Exit 10 in Seoul, with APTOS-certified doctors experienced in full-face thread lifting. V-shape thread lift requires overall aesthetic design ability — it is not simply “inserting threads” but customizing the lift plan based on each person’s facial bone structure and aging pattern.
