Thread Jawline Lift
What Is It?
A thread jawline lift carries loosened tissue along the jaw line upwards with suspension threads. The aim is not to change bone or facial proportion but to gather the tissue hanging over the line so that the contour becomes visible again.
Three separate things can blur a jaw line: tissue laxity, fat under the chin, and insufficient bone support. Threads answer only the first. Where bone support is weak, filler is a separate heading; where fat dominates, volume reduction is.

How Is It Done?
Assessment examines the degree of sagging, the projection of the chin and the volume under it separately. Under local anaesthesia, threads are positioned along the jaw contour on the planned vectors and the tissue is drawn upwards. The procedure averages 60 minutes.
Who Is It For?
Suitable for people describing tissue hanging over the jaw line, whose contour has lost definition and who do not want surgery. Where bone support is insufficient or fat under the chin dominates it is not enough on its own; the order is set at examination.
Active infection along the jaw line, a bleeding tendency and blood-thinner use, uncontrolled autoimmune disease, a history of keloid scarring and pregnancy or breastfeeding all require a change of plan.
Results & Duration
The gathering is visible in the session; the contour sharpens as swelling resolves and reaches its ideal form on average within a month. The duration reported in the source data is 2 years and varies with tissue structure and weight stability.
What Is Not Promised
A jawline thread lift does not change bone structure and does not add projection to the chin; it does not replace filler. It does not reduce fat under the chin and does not replace surgical lifting. No particular contour, degree of definition or duration is guaranteed.
Key Benefits
- Jawline definition support
- Jawline definition
- Contour gathering
“There is no single route to a sharper jawline. I ask the patient first: why did the line disappear — laxity, fat, or missing support? The answer sets the method, not the other way round.”
— Dr. Sinan Akyürek
Frequently Asked Questions
How does it differ from jawline filler?
Filler adds support and projection to the jaw line; threads carry the tissue hanging over it upwards. Depending on the source of the complaint one, or sometimes both, is planned.
Is it the same as a double chin thread lift?
No. There the target is under the chin and the upper neck; here it is the jaw contour. The vectors and placement differ.
When does the result settle?
The change is noticed during the procedure; the final contour settles on average within a month.
How long does it last?
The duration reported in the source data is 2 years; it varies with tissue structure and weight stability.
What is recovery like?
Tenderness and tightness along the jaw line run through the first two weeks. Wide mouth opening, sleeping face-down, sauna and intense exercise are avoided.
