Gangnam contouring for double chin—what’s key?

Key factors in 4th-generation Aptos thread lifting for refining blurred contours

☑️ A double chin appears more pronounced in photos
☑️ Weight loss, but fat under the chin remains
☑️ The jawline feels less defined

If you feel that your facial contour looks heavy or sagging
in the mirror or in photos, you may start considering

Gangnam facial contouring treatments.

As the internal skin structure weakens,
it becomes more affected by gravity.

In particular, areas like the cheeks and jawline
have thicker fat layers,
making these changes more noticeable.

In such cases, Gangnam contouring thread lifting
can be an effective alternative,
as it allows improvement without surgery.

"When both surface

and structural issues are involved"

While the skin we see appears thin,
there are multiple underlying structures
that support facial shape.

For long-lasting results,
the deeper structural issues must be addressed.

When both the outer and inner layers change,
it is often due to structural causes,
which can blur the overall facial contour.

To improve loss of elasticity and double chin concerns,
thread lifting that supports the skin from within
can help restore structure.

"4th-generation thread lifting, Aptos"

Among the types of thread lifting used
for Gangnam contouring treatments,
Aptos is often mentioned
because of its unique structural design.

Aptos combines PLLA, PCL, and HA
into a single system.

Rather than focusing only on physical lifting,
it is designed to consider
how the tissue will respond over time.

It helps improve the tissue environment
while providing structural support
for long-term stability.

At first, the contour appears naturally refined,
and over time, the structure becomes more stable.

"How is it different

from conventional thread lifting?"

Some patients who have experienced thread lifting
report improved contours but increased dryness.

Aptos addresses this by incorporating hyaluronic acid.

Instead of a single form,
it uses three particle sizes—nano, sub-micro, and micro.

These particles are arranged
to allow gradual release over time,
forming Aptos’s unique NAMICA system.

The smaller particles are released step by step,
helping improve skin hydration
and support faster recovery.

"Gangnam contouring thread lifting,
design matters more than the thread itself"

Even with high-quality Aptos threads,
the final result depends greatly
on how the treatment is designed.

Facial tissues do not move uniformly—
the cheeks, jawline, and mouth area
each respond differently.

At GU Clinic,
we analyze each individual’s anatomical structure
and design the treatment accordingly.

For double chin lifting in particular,
we use a mesh-like technique
with two LL50 threads
to create a more refined contour.

Today, we introduced
4th-generation thread lifting with Aptos
for Gangnam contouring treatments.

✅ Those who saw limited results from Ultherapy or InMode
✅ Those who want to improve a double chin without surgery
✅ Those concerned about sagging due to loss of elasticity

If you relate to these concerns,
we recommend a detailed consultation.

Thank you.
