Thread Lift cost questions
How many threads do I need for my face?
Gangnam clinics typically plan 4-6 threads per side for early sagging and 6-8 per side for moderate sagging.
Why is the thread lift priced per thread?
Each thread is a separate consumable, so cost rises with the number used.
Does the thread brand change the price?
Yes. Brands like Mint and Silhouette Soft are priced differently; ask which is used.
How long should I stay in Seoul after a thread lift?
Swelling and tightness usually settle in about a week. Plan a check-up before you fly.
Are threads removed if something goes wrong, and is that charged?
Ask the clinic before booking. Removal policies and fees vary.
