APTOS V-Shape Full Face Thread Lift: Reshaping Jawline and Double Chin in One Session



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

  1. Blurred Jawline: Threads tighten from ear to chin direction, rebuilding a sharp jawline
  2. Nasolabial Folds: Upward lifting from cheekbone direction reduces fold depth
  3. Marionette Lines: Downward lines from mouth corner to jaw improved by upward lifting
  4. Double Chin: Tightening submental area to reduce under-chin fullness
  5. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between V-shape and regular thread lift?
Regular thread lift typically targets a single concern (e.g., only nasolabial folds or only jawline) with fewer threads (4-8) in one direction. V-shape thread lift is a full-face design that builds a three-dimensional lifting framework from cheekbones to jaw to chin, using more threads (8-16) in multiple directions and layers. It simultaneously addresses jawline, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and double chin for more comprehensive, natural results.
How long do thread lift results last?
APTOS PDO threads are absorbed by the body within 3-6 months, but they stimulate collagen production during absorption. The new collagen support structure can last 12-18 months. We recommend maintenance treatments when results begin to diminish to extend overall effectiveness.
Will thread lift make my face stiff?
No. APTOS threads are absorbable PDO material that does not interfere with normal facial muscle movement. You may feel slight tightness in the first 1-2 weeks due to swelling, but expression becomes completely natural after swelling subsides. The key is correct placement layer — between subcutaneous and SMAS layers, not interfering with expression muscles.
Can I get thread lift and filler at the same time?
Yes, but we recommend thread lift first, then filler. After thread lift establishes the overall contour framework, filler can precisely address local hollows (like tear troughs, deep nasolabial folds) for better results. If filler is done first, the physical lifting of threads may alter filler distribution. A 1-2 week interval between treatments is ideal.
Do I need an appointment for V-shape thread lift in Korea?
Yes. Rappoel Clinic is located 3 minutes from Gangnam Station Exit 10 in Seoul. Book via WeChat (rappoelkr) or Line (rappoelkr). V-shape thread lift is a complex procedure — we recommend booking 2 weeks in advance. First consultation includes assessment and design, with treatment scheduled after confirmation. Clinic hours are 10 AM to 7 PM daily.
