Some patients experience minor bruising. Most swelling resolves within 1\u20132 weeks, revealing the final lifted result.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-q\">Is there a risk of thread migration or surface irregularities?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">Migration risk comes from improper technique. Rappoel doctors hold APTOS official certification and have extensive thread lifting experience, with strict control of insertion depth and angle to minimize this risk.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-q\">Can neck thread lifting also improve a double chin?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">Yes. Neck threads can be combined with mandibular angle threads to simultaneously lift the neck and redefine the jawline. Adding Coretox for the masseter and chin filler creates a comprehensive lower face rejuvenation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-q\">Do results persist after the threads fully absorb?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">Yes. As the threads dissolve over 6\u201312 months, they continuously stimulate new collagen formation. This new collagen maintains lifting support even after complete absorption.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-q\">How does thread lifting compare to surgical neck lift?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">Surgical neck lift offers longer-lasting results but carries higher risks and requires 2\u20134 weeks of recovery. Thread lifting is non-surgical with 7\u201314 days of recovery, lasting 12\u201318 months \u2014 ideal for patients not ready or willing for surgery.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-q\">How should I plan my Seoul trip for neck thread lifting?<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">Plan at least 3\u20135 days in Seoul. The day of treatment requires rest; days 2\u20133 will have the most visible swelling.
