Price factors
What changes the price
- Threads per side: the count is the main lever, and a plan that covers the jowls and the cheeks needs noticeably more strands than a single zone.
- Grip design and length: cog or anchored lifting threads usually sit above smooth or coil threads on a menu, and longer strands for the jaw edge cost more per piece than short ones.
- Product name: clinics stock threads from different Korean makers, and each brand carries its own rate, so a quote without a product name cannot be compared.
- Zones combined: jaw, jowl, mid-cheek, brow and under-chin lines are often sold separately, and a bundled lower-face plan is priced as one package.
- Who inserts the threads: some clinics set the fee by the treating doctor, so check whether the quote names a person or only a procedure.
- What the fee covers: anesthetic, a review visit, trimming a visible end and correcting an uneven side may be included or charged again.
- Combined treatments: threads paired with microfocused ultrasound lifting, toxin or filler raise the total and should appear as separate lines.
- VAT: listed figures are before VAT, and 10% VAT is added at payment on the agreed amount.

How the options compare
| Option | Area covered | Who it tends to suit | What to ask |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single-zone set | Jaw edge or mid-cheek, a few threads per side | First-time patients with early sagging | Product name, count per side and whether a review visit is included |
| Lower-face package | Jowls and jaw line together | Softening contour with fair skin thickness | How the threads are split between jowl and jaw |
| Mid- and lower-face plan | Cheeks, jowls and jaw line | Moderate laxity across more than one zone, with a longer stay | Which design goes in each zone and the adjustment policy |
| Threads with ultrasound lifting | Thread zone plus a microfocused ultrasound session | Those wanting lift and skin tightening in one trip | Order of the two steps and separate line items |
| Volume threads only | Hollow cheeks or the fold beside the nose | Support or fill, not lifting | Why lifting threads are or are not part of the plan |

FAQ
Questions about Thread lifts in Myeongdong
Which clinics offer Thread lifts in Myeongdong?
Clinics offering Thread lifts in Myeongdong include Summit Clinic (Myeongdong), RE:BERRY Clinic Myeongdong (Myeongdong Station), Kind Global Clinic (Euljiro-ipgu Station), Muse Clinic Myeongdong (Myeong-dong) and Heyday Clinic Myeongdong (Myeong-dong). Each lists Thread lifts on its own menu; message the clinic directly to confirm the doctor, product and current price.
Do listed thread fees include VAT?
No, the figures shown by clinics in the district are before VAT, and 10% VAT is added at payment. That applies to the procedure and to any add-ons such as toxin, filler or an ultrasound session on the same visit. When you compare two written quotes, apply the tax to both so the totals line up. Ask for an itemized receipt at the desk for your records.
What usually comes with a zone package?
Most packages include the named threads, local anesthetic and the procedure for one area on both sides. Review visits, trimming an exposed end, antibiotics and any correction for unevenness vary by clinic. Ask for these lines in writing before the date is fixed. A package that looks cheaper may simply leave out the follow-up you will need during a short stay.
Why do quotes for the same area differ between clinics?
Different thread products, different counts per side and different inclusions are the usual reasons. One clinic may plan longer anchoring threads for the jaw while another proposes shorter strands and adds filler. The doctor's experience and consultation time can also be priced in. Line up the product, count and included visits first, then compare the totals. Ask each clinic to explain any line you do not understand.
How should I budget for hotel nights around the procedure?
Plan enough nights to stay nearby for a review visit two or three days after treatment, rather than booking the procedure on your last day. Swelling and bruising are common early on, and an uneven side is easier to adjust while you are still in Seoul. A slightly longer stay often costs less than returning later for a correction. Ask the clinic how many days it wants you close.
Is combining threads with an ultrasound lift on one visit safe?
One retrospective study supports it. In 2020 in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, Casabona treated 48 people with suspension threads plus microfocused ultrasound and reported no unexpected adverse events, with improved aging and satisfaction scores at 90 days. Lab tests also found the thread structure stayed intact. The threads studied were not PDO, so ask how your plan matches that evidence.
How do clinics usually take payment from visitors?
Most clinics accept international credit cards and cash in local currency at the front desk on the day of treatment. Some ask for a deposit to hold a slot. Confirm the payment method and any deposit rules when you book. Card statements show the total after VAT, so keep the itemized receipt to check it matches the quote. A card fee may apply at some desks.
Will I need to pay for another session later?
Probably, because lifting threads dissolve and the visible effect softens over months. Many people return for a smaller top-up rather than repeating the full plan. Ask whether the clinic adjusts the count for remaining threads on a repeat visit. Plan the first session with that in mind. Results vary from person to person, so treat a second session as a likely cost rather than a surprise.
