At Haru Clinic, we welcome international patients seeking natural-looking facial contour refinement with minimal disruption to their travel plans.
In this treatment story, we introduce Haru Thread Lifting, our dissolvable thread lifting procedure designed to improve a broad-looking lower face, jawline laxity, and the appearance of a protruding double chin.
What Is Haru thread Lifting?
Haru ThreadLifting is a facial thread lifting treatment that uses absorbable threads to support and reposition sagging skin. Carefully placed curved threads can help create a firmer, more defined facial contour while maintaining a natural appearance.
This procedure may be suitable for patients who want a more visible lifting effect than non-invasive treatments such as ultrasound, radiofrequency, or Botox, while avoiding the longer downtime often associated with more extensive surgical procedures.
Depending on the individual, Haru Lifting may help improve:
- A broad or square-looking lower face caused by skin laxity
- A less-defined jawline
- Sagging around the chin and lower cheeks
- The appearance of a protruding double chin
- Overall facial contour and V-line definition
Patient Concern: Broad Lower Face and Protruding Double Chin
This patient visited Haru Clinic with concerns about a lower face that appeared wide and square, as well as a double chin that looked prominent due to sagging skin.
The patient had previously received chin filler treatment but felt that it did not create the refined, V-shaped facial impression they wanted.
Following an in-depth consultation, we determined that skin laxity around the chin and lower face was contributing to the concern. As the skin had gathered around the center of the double-chin area, it created a fuller appearance and visually connected to the lower face, making the jawline appear wider.
Treatment Approach
To address these concerns, Haru Lifting was performed with the goal of supporting and lifting the sagging skin around the lower face and chin.
Rather than simply adding volume, the treatment focused on improving the underlying contour by repositioning lax tissue. This approach can help enhance the appearance of the jawline and allow existing chin projection—such as previous filler—to look more balanced and defined.
Immediate Post-Treatment Appearance
The post-treatment photographs were taken immediately after the procedure.
Even right after treatment, the patient showed a visibly firmer lower-face contour with no significant swelling apparent in the photographs. The broad, square-looking lower face appeared more streamlined, while the double-chin area looked slimmer and more refined.
The result was a smoother transition from the chin to the jawline, contributing to a more balanced V-line appearance.
Before-and-After Results
In the before-and-after comparison, the patient’s lower face appears more contoured and lifted. The sagging skin that had contributed to a wide-looking jawline and prominent double chin was improved, creating a slimmer and more harmonious facial profile.
Individual results vary depending on skin condition, facial structure, degree of laxity, thread type, and treatment plan. During your consultation, our medical team can recommend an approach tailored to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Planning Your Treatment as an International Visitor
For medical tourists, minimally invasive facial contouring treatments can be especially appealing when they fit into a busy travel schedule. Haru Lifting is designed to provide a natural-looking improvement with generally limited visible downtime; however, temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness, or unevenness may still occur.
We recommend scheduling a consultation before your procedure to discuss:
- Your desired facial contour and treatment goals
- Your travel schedule and expected recovery time
- Previous aesthetic treatments, including fillers or Botox
- Medical history, medications, and suitability for thread lifting
- Post-treatment care and follow-up recommendations
Our team will help you plan your treatment responsibly and comfortably during your visit to Korea.
