Double chin reduction with Aptos jawline lifting

Explore the results through a GU Clinic Aptos thread lifting review for double chin improvement

Hello,
This is Dr. Park Kibum, Head Director of GU Clinic.

'Have you ever wondered
why your jawline doesn’t seem to change
even after dieting?'

Even after successful weight loss
through exercise and diet control,
many people notice that the area beneath

the chin remains unchanged.

Especially in photos,
if the double chin appears more noticeable than in the mirror,
the face may look heavier than it actually is.

Even with consistent self-care,
if you still don’t notice a meaningful change in your jawline,
the issue may involve more than just fat.

"Why doesn’t a double chin

disappear easily?"

A double chin can develop not only from fat accumulation
but also from changes in skin elasticity and tissue positioning.

​

As time passes, the structures supporting the skin weaken,
causing tissue beneath the chin to sag downward.

​

As a result,
the double chin may appear more prominent
regardless of actual fat volume.

In addition,
as the boundary between the chin and neck becomes less defined,
the entire facial contour can appear less structured.

This is why weight loss alone may not fully improve the area.

"Sometimes tissue repositioning

matters more than fat reduction"

When searching for ways to reduce a double chin,
many people focus only on reducing fat.

​

However, in some cases, the more important issue is
how to reorganize tissue that has spread or sagged.

​

Once the skin and soft tissue
have already shifted downward, simply reducing fat volume
may not restore the original contour.

That’s why a structural approach may also be necessary.

​

In other words,
double chin treatment is not only about 'removal,'
but also about restoring and refining the jawline structure.

"Gangnam Aptos for reshaping

the jawline structure"

One representative solution
for addressing these structural concerns is Aptos thread lifting.

​

Traditional PDO threads mainly relied
on physical pulling strength.

However, 4th-generation Aptos thread lifting
focuses not only on lifting but also on skin regeneration.

​✔️ PLLA → Stimulates collagen production

✔️ PCL → Provides longer-lasting support compared to first-generation threads

✔️ HA → Delivers immediate hydration​

Through the interaction of these three components,
Aptos thread lifting may help provide:

• Lifting effects
• Improved elasticity
• Hydration support

all within a single treatment.

"Aptos NAMICA particle control system"

Aptos thread lifting does not simply end with physically lifting tissue.

The technology and structure of the threads themselves
are also carefully considered.

​

Through the NAMICA particle control system,
particles distributed on the thread surface
are controlled more precisely
to maintain more uniform tissue interaction.

​

For double chin treatment specifically,
NAMICA 19 threads may sometimes be applied
in a mesh-like crossing pattern using two thread lines.

​

Rather than pulling tissue in only one direction,
this structure supports tissue multidirectionally,
helping refine the jawline more three-dimensionally.

​

This mesh structure also helps reduce
excessive concentration of tension in a single area
while providing balanced support across a wider range.

As a result,
it contributes to creating
a more stable and refined jawline contour.

"Improving a double chin

requires a different approach"

If you’re concerned about reducing a double chin,
it’s important not to focus only on weight loss,

but also to evaluate
how the structure beneath the chin is changing.

​

Because fat, skin elasticity, and tissue positioning
all work together,
stable and satisfying results are more likely
when each factor is addressed appropriately.

​​

If thread lifting is being considered,
the thread position and direction should be carefully designed
based on the individual’s jaw structure and degree of sagging.

"To improve a weakened jawline"

Double chin treatment
should involve more than simply reducing fat.

​

A structural approach
that considers the overall jawline is often necessary.

​

Treatments such as Gangnam Aptos thread lifting
can help improve these structural concerns
through personalized treatment planning,
creating a more natural and refined jawline.
