Thread lift price in Myeongdong is worked out from the written plan, usually thread family times strand count, and the lowest listed option starts from ₩69,000 before VAT. That entry option tends to cover one zone with a modest number of PDO strands on each side and local anesthetic. Each extra zone, a switch to another thread family, and add-ons such as toxin raise the figure. Rechecks during your stay and photo review after departure differ by clinic, so read those lines too. The table below shows current prices from 5 clinics, and 10% VAT is added at payment.

Price factors
What changes the price
- Thread family: barbed cog, anchored and coil volume threads usually carry separate rates, so a mixed sheet should show each family's count.
- Strands per side: the number written for each side drives most of the total. Faces are rarely symmetrical, so ask why each side needs its number.
- Entry points and zones: entering in front of the ear to support the jaw differs from entering near the temple for the mid-cheek, and each added zone adds strands.
- Material other than PDO: some menus list other absorbable sutures at their own rate. In a 25-person study in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology in 2020, Goldberg reported collagen forming beside PLLA/PLGA cone sutures by day 90 and increasing through day 270; that finding does not make the material right for every face.
- Operator: a few clinics set the fee by the doctor performing the insertion, so check that the operator named on the quote is the person who drew your plan.
- Rechecks in Seoul: a check on day 1 or 2, trimming a surfaced end or evening out one side may be part of the fee or charged as a new visit.
- Photo follow-up from home: ask whether reviewing pictures sent after departure is included, and who looks at them.
- VAT: menu figures exclude tax, and 10% VAT is added at payment on the agreed total.

How the options compare
| What the plan sheet says | Effect on the quote | Tends to suit | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|---|
| One zone, barbed PDO, a few strands per side | Lowest line on most menus | A first session with early jaw sagging | Entry points marked and a recheck slot held |
| Two zones, jaw and mid-cheek | Roughly the strand count of two sets | Sagging that spans the lower and middle face | How strands are split between zones and sides |
| Barbed lift plus coil volume threads | Two families priced on separate lines | Drop at the jaw with a hollow cheek above it | Which family goes where and why both are needed |
| Threads plus toxin in the same stay | Toxin listed as its own treatment | A strong jaw muscle or neck bands pulling down | Order of the steps and the gap between them |
| Plan with two rechecks and photo review | Follow-up written into the fee or quoted apart | Visitors with five or more nights in Seoul | Dates of both checks and how photos are sent |

FAQ
Questions about Thread lifts in Myeongdong
Which clinics offer Thread lifts in Myeongdong?
Clinics offering Thread lifts in Myeongdong include Kind Global Clinic (Euljiro-ipgu Station), Summit Clinic (Myeongdong), RE:BERRY Clinic Myeongdong (Myeongdong Station), iD Clinic Myeongdong (Namdaemun-ro) and UPIC Clinic Myeongdong (Myeong-dong). Each lists Thread lifts on its own menu; message the clinic directly to confirm the doctor, product and current price.
Is VAT already inside the figures on the price table?
No, the table shows amounts before tax, and 10% VAT is added when you pay. The same applies to a written quote unless the clinic says otherwise on the sheet. Ask for the total with tax added before you agree, so the figure at the counter matches what you expect. Plan the trip budget on that full amount, not on the menu figure.
Why should the quote list strands for each side separately?
A per-side count shows how the doctor reads your face, and it makes two quotes comparable. One side often sits lower than the other, so equal numbers are not always expected. A single face total hides that reasoning and makes it hard to tell whether a lower figure simply means fewer strands. Ask for the count next to each marked zone.
Will the quote change if a different doctor performs the insertion?
It can, since some clinics set fees by the treating doctor rather than by the procedure alone. Check that the consent form and the quote name the same operator who drew your plan. If the clinic separates consultation and treatment, ask who inserts the strands and who sees you at the recheck. Knowing this up front avoids a different figure appearing on the day.
Are recheck visits during my stay included?
Some clinics include one or two checks, while others charge a short visit fee or bill any adjustment again. The most useful checks fall on day 1 or 2 and again around day 5 to 7, while swelling and bruising settle. Ask the clinic to write the recheck dates and what they cover on the quote, then book the procedure day so both fit before your flight.
Is photo follow-up after I fly home charged?
Policies vary, so ask about it before treatment. Find out which angles to send, how often, and whether the doctor who inserted the threads reviews them. Photo review cannot replace an examination, and spreading redness, warmth, fever or pus need a local doctor promptly. If a later correction is needed, ask whether it would be priced as a new session.
How do I compare two quotes built on different thread families?
Compare the plans first and the totals second, because barbed, anchored and coil threads do different jobs. Put the sheets side by side and match each zone, family and per-side count. If one clinic adds coil threads for a hollow cheek and another does not, the gap reflects a different plan. Ask each doctor why their family suits that zone.
Which payment methods do visitors normally use?
Clinics in central Seoul commonly accept international credit cards, and some also take cash payments. Ask at consultation which methods apply and whether card payment changes the amount. Foreign card fees and exchange rates are set by your card provider, not by the clinic. Keep the itemised receipt together with the plan sheet, since both help with any later follow-up.
Will a future top-up session be priced from the same sheet?
Not automatically, since a later session is planned from how your face looks at that time. PDO is absorbed over months, so some people return for a smaller top-up rather than a full repeat. Bring the original plan and photos so the doctor can see what was placed before. Ask whether the new quote follows the current menu or a separate rate for returning patients.
