V Lift in Korea: Non-Surgical V-Line Options at HERA
A V lift in Korea usually means a slimmer, more defined lower face without surgery. At HERA Clinic in Gangnam, the doctor first looks at whether the main cause is sagging tissue or localized fat, then recommends thread lifting or Sok-Sok Face Injection to match it.
Thread lifting takes about 20β60 minutes depending on the type; Sok-Sok Face Injection takes 10β15 minutes. Downtime for both is minimal, with mild swelling or small bruises that usually settle within a few days.
Thread lifting β when the jawline is sagging
Custom Thread Lifting uses absorbable threads (PDO, PCL or PLLA) to reposition sagging tissue and act as a scaffold for new collagen, paired with Ultherapy and Titanium RF; thread directions are tailored to each face. The procedure takes 20β30 minutes with topical numbing cream and local anesthesia, and the lift generally holds 12β24 months, varying with skin condition.
Premium Thread Lifting uses biocompatible PLA threads with 360Β° cones to anchor and reposition sagging tissue. It takes 30β60 minutes under local anesthesia, and results generally last about 12β24 months depending on thread count and skin condition.
Sok-Sok Face Injection β when local fat blurs the line
Sok-Sok Face Injection is an injection-only treatment with no incisions and no general anesthesia. A lipolytic solution is injected into targeted pockets β double chin, jawline, buccal fat and side cheekbones β and the body clears the treated fat over the following weeks. It takes 10β15 minutes, usually with topical numbing cream.
Slimming appears gradually over 2β4 weeks, and 2β3 sessions spaced a few weeks apart are often recommended; your doctor confirms the plan at consultation.
How pricing works
The cost depends on which approach suits your face and how many threads or sessions are needed, so we don't quote one fixed V lift price. International patients pay the same price as local patients, prices include consultation, and you agree an itemised written estimate before any treatment begins.
