Not suitable for lipolysis but skin is lax? Rappoel Dermatology APTOS thread lift \u2014 physical lifting of sagging skin, 40 minutes to redefine the jawline<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A double chin is the most common cause of a blurred jawline \u2014 sagging skin between the chin and neck creates a ‘second chin,’ the jawline is no longer defined, and the face and neck merge into one, with the chin profile disappearing from the side. Double chin causes: (1) Fat accumulation \u2014 submental fat collecting, forming a visible double chin. (2) Skin laxity \u2014 age-related or post-weight-loss skin elasticity decline, skin sagging into a double chin. (3) Skeletal structure \u2014 chin retrusion or short mandible causing naturally blurred jawline. (4) Mixed type \u2014 fat + skin laxity + skeletal retrusion. For skin laxity-dominant double chins, Onda microwave lipolysis only reduces fat but cannot tighten skin \u2014 APTOS thread lift physically pulls lax skin upward, redefining the jawline. Rappoel Dermatology near Gangnam Station, Seoul, uses APTOS bidirectional cog threads \u2014 placed in the subcutaneous layer, the cogs physically lift sagging skin, 40 non-surgical minutes to improve double chin.<\/p>\n<h2>Technical Advantages of APTOS Double Chin Thread Lift<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bidirectional cog thread physical lifting:<\/strong> APTOS bidirectional cog threads have barbs on both sides \u2014 after placement in the subcutaneous layer, the cogs grip subcutaneous tissue (SMAS and subcutaneous fat layers), and the thread tension lifts sagging chin skin upward. The lifting force is evenly distributed along the entire thread, avoiding unnatural single-point pulling<\/li>\n<li><strong>Simultaneous collagen neogenesis stimulation:<\/strong> APTOS threads are PDO (polydioxanone) or PLA (polylactic acid) \u2014 after placement, they stimulate fibrous tissue encapsulation, forming new collagen bands along the thread path over 3-6 months. After thread absorption (PDO 6-9 months, PLA 12-18 months), the collagen bands continue maintaining the lifting effect<\/li>\n<li><strong>Instant lift + progressive improvement:<\/strong> Physical lifting is immediate after thread placement \u2014 jawline clarity is visible during the procedure. After 2-4 weeks as mild swelling subsides, results improve further; at 3-6 months with collagen neogenesis, results optimize<\/li>\n<li><strong>Non-surgical, minimally invasive:<\/strong> Only 2-3 needle entry points (1-2 per side), no surgical incision \u2014 short recovery (3-7 days mild swelling), no impact on daily life. Compared to surgical chin lift (neck lift surgery), risk and recovery time are greatly reduced<\/li>\n<li><strong>Combines with lipolysis:<\/strong> For mixed-type double chins (fat + skin laxity) \u2014 Onda microwave lipolysis first to reduce fat volume, then APTOS thread lift 4-6 weeks later to tighten skin \u2014 lipolysis provides volume reduction, thread lift provides skin tightening, dual improvement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Treatment Strategies for Different Double Chin Types<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Skin laxity type (thread lift first choice):<\/strong> Minimal fat but clearly sagging skin forming a double chin. Strategy: APTOS thread lift, 2-3 threads per side \u2014 lifting from chin sides upward to pre-auricular area, restoring jawline clarity. Best results<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fat type (lipolysis first choice):<\/strong> Obvious submental fat accumulation, adequate skin elasticity. Strategy: Onda microwave lipolysis to reduce fat (10-15 min per side) \u2014 skin naturally contracts after lipolysis. If skin elasticity is insufficient, add thread lift 4-6 weeks later<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mixed type (fat + laxity):<\/strong> Fat accumulation and skin laxity coexisting. Strategy: Onda microwave lipolysis first to reduce fat \u2192 APTOS thread lift 4-6 weeks later to tighten skin \u2014 dual improvement, best results<\/li>\n<li><strong>Skeletal retrusion type:<\/strong> Short, retruded chin, naturally blurred jawline. Strategy: HA chin filler to elongate the chin (1-2ml) + APTOS thread lift to lift sagging skin \u2014 filler provides skeletal support, thread lift lifts lax skin<\/li>\n<li><strong>Severe laxity type:<\/strong> Post-massive-weight-loss severe skin laxity, ‘turkey neck.’ Strategy: APTOS thread lift can improve moderate laxity; severe laxity may need surgery (neck lift). In-person assessment recommended<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Rappoel Double Chin Thread Lift Treatment Protocol<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Double chin assessment and plan design (10 min):<\/strong> Frontal and side assessment of double chin cause \u2014 skin laxity, fat volume, skeletal structure \u2192 pinch submental skin to assess elasticity \u2192 photograph \u2192 establish thread lift plan (thread type, count, lifting direction)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cleansing and anesthesia (15 min):<\/strong> Facial makeup removal \u2192 alcohol swab disinfection \u2192 topical lidocaine cream for 15 minutes \u2192 local infiltration anesthesia at entry points with small lidocaine injection<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thread placement (15-20 min):<\/strong> Create 1-2 needle entry points on each side of the submental area \u2192 use guide needle to advance along the subcutaneous layer (above SMAS) from submental to pre-auricular direction \u2192 thread APTOS bidirectional cog through the guide \u2192 withdraw guide, leaving thread in subcutaneous layer \u2192 2-3 threads per side \u2192 gently pull to adjust lifting tension \u2192 trim excess thread \u2192 entry points need no suturing<\/li>\n<li><strong>Immediate assessment and shaping (5 min):<\/strong> Patient checks frontal and side jawline improvement \u2192 check symmetry \u2192 gentle pressing to shape \u2192 apply repair cream at entry points<\/li>\n<li><strong>Post-care instructions (5 min):<\/strong> Precautions (avoid lying flat for 24 hours, avoid wide mouth opening and strenuous exercise for 48 hours, avoid high-heat and facial massage for 1 week, avoid face-down and side-sleeping for 1 month, avoid rubbing the submental area) \u2192 2-week follow-up<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The double chin thread lift takes about 40 minutes, with immediate jawline clarity, continued improvement over 3-6 months, lasting 12-18 months.

Not suitable for lipolysis but skin is lax? Rappoel Dermatology APTOS thread lift \u2014 physical lifting of sagging skin, 40 minutes to redefine the jawline<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A double chin is the most common cause of a blurred jawline \u2014 sagging skin between the chin and neck creates a ‘second chin,’ the jawline is no longer defined, and the face and neck merge into one, with the chin profile disappearing from the side. Double chin causes: (1) Fat accumulation \u2014 submental fat collecting, forming a visible double chin. (2) Skin laxity \u2014 age-related or post-weight-loss skin elasticity decline, skin sagging into a double chin. (3) Skeletal structure \u2014 chin retrusion or short mandible causing naturally blurred jawline. (4) Mixed type \u2014 fat + skin laxity + skeletal retrusion. For skin laxity-dominant double chins, Onda microwave lipolysis only reduces fat but cannot tighten skin \u2014 APTOS thread lift physically pulls lax skin upward, redefining the jawline. Rappoel Dermatology near Gangnam Station, Seoul, uses APTOS bidirectional cog threads \u2014 placed in the subcutaneous layer, the cogs physically lift sagging skin, 40 non-surgical minutes to improve double chin.<\/p>\n<h2>Technical Advantages of APTOS Double Chin Thread Lift<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bidirectional cog thread physical lifting:<\/strong> APTOS bidirectional cog threads have barbs on both sides \u2014 after placement in the subcutaneous layer, the cogs grip subcutaneous tissue (SMAS and subcutaneous fat layers), and the thread tension lifts sagging chin skin upward. The lifting force is evenly distributed along the entire thread, avoiding unnatural single-point pulling<\/li>\n<li><strong>Simultaneous collagen neogenesis stimulation:<\/strong> APTOS threads are PDO (polydioxanone) or PLA (polylactic acid) \u2014 after placement, they stimulate fibrous tissue encapsulation, forming new collagen bands along the thread path over 3-6 months. After thread absorption (PDO 6-9 months, PLA 12-18 months), the collagen bands continue maintaining the lifting effect<\/li>\n<li><strong>Instant lift + progressive improvement:<\/strong> Physical lifting is immediate after thread placement \u2014 jawline clarity is visible during the procedure. After 2-4 weeks as mild swelling subsides, results improve further; at 3-6 months with collagen neogenesis, results optimize<\/li>\n<li><strong>Non-surgical, minimally invasive:<\/strong> Only 2-3 needle entry points (1-2 per side), no surgical incision \u2014 short recovery (3-7 days mild swelling), no impact on daily life. Compared to surgical chin lift (neck lift surgery), risk and recovery time are greatly reduced<\/li>\n<li><strong>Combines with lipolysis:<\/strong> For mixed-type double chins (fat + skin laxity) \u2014 Onda microwave lipolysis first to reduce fat volume, then APTOS thread lift 4-6 weeks later to tighten skin \u2014 lipolysis provides volume reduction, thread lift provides skin tightening, dual improvement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Treatment Strategies for Different Double Chin Types<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Skin laxity type (thread lift first choice):<\/strong> Minimal fat but clearly sagging skin forming a double chin. Strategy: APTOS thread lift, 2-3 threads per side \u2014 lifting from chin sides upward to pre-auricular area, restoring jawline clarity. Best results<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fat type (lipolysis first choice):<\/strong> Obvious submental fat accumulation, adequate skin elasticity. Strategy: Onda microwave lipolysis to reduce fat (10-15 min per side) \u2014 skin naturally contracts after lipolysis. If skin elasticity is insufficient, add thread lift 4-6 weeks later<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mixed type (fat + laxity):<\/strong> Fat accumulation and skin laxity coexisting. Strategy: Onda microwave lipolysis first to reduce fat \u2192 APTOS thread lift 4-6 weeks later to tighten skin \u2014 dual improvement, best results<\/li>\n<li><strong>Skeletal retrusion type:<\/strong> Short, retruded chin, naturally blurred jawline. Strategy: HA chin filler to elongate the chin (1-2ml) + APTOS thread lift to lift sagging skin \u2014 filler provides skeletal support, thread lift lifts lax skin<\/li>\n<li><strong>Severe laxity type:<\/strong> Post-massive-weight-loss severe skin laxity, ‘turkey neck.’ Strategy: APTOS thread lift can improve moderate laxity; severe laxity may need surgery (neck lift). In-person assessment recommended<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Rappoel Double Chin Thread Lift Treatment Protocol<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Double chin assessment and plan design (10 min):<\/strong> Frontal and side assessment of double chin cause \u2014 skin laxity, fat volume, skeletal structure \u2192 pinch submental skin to assess elasticity \u2192 photograph \u2192 establish thread lift plan (thread type, count, lifting direction)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cleansing and anesthesia (15 min):<\/strong> Facial makeup removal \u2192 alcohol swab disinfection \u2192 topical lidocaine cream for 15 minutes \u2192 local infiltration anesthesia at entry points with small lidocaine injection<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thread placement (15-20 min):<\/strong> Create 1-2 needle entry points on each side of the submental area \u2192 use guide needle to advance along the subcutaneous layer (above SMAS) from submental to pre-auricular direction \u2192 thread APTOS bidirectional cog through the guide \u2192 withdraw guide, leaving thread in subcutaneous layer \u2192 2-3 threads per side \u2192 gently pull to adjust lifting tension \u2192 trim excess thread \u2192 entry points need no suturing<\/li>\n<li><strong>Immediate assessment and shaping (5 min):<\/strong> Patient checks frontal and side jawline improvement \u2192 check symmetry \u2192 gentle pressing to shape \u2192 apply repair cream at entry points<\/li>\n<li><strong>Post-care instructions (5 min):<\/strong> Precautions (avoid lying flat for 24 hours, avoid wide mouth opening and strenuous exercise for 48 hours, avoid high-heat and facial massage for 1 week, avoid face-down and side-sleeping for 1 month, avoid rubbing the submental area) \u2192 2-week follow-up<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The double chin thread lift takes about 40 minutes, with immediate jawline clarity, continued improvement over 3-6 months, lasting 12-18 months.
