Silhouette threads in Busan Seomyeon, cones that anchor what barbs can't.

From ₩700,000 per pair with your count written before placement — typical mid-face plans total ₩1,400,000–2,800,000. Published prices, no foreigner markup, no pair inflation.

Yes — English, Japanese (日本語) and Chinese (中文). We are a 5-minute walk from Seomyeon Station Exit 2, and healing reviews continue on WhatsApp after you fly home from Busan.

Fully resorbable material on a dissolving suture — both are absorbed over months, leaving the collagen they stimulated along the vector. Nothing permanent remains in the tissue.

Under proper local anaesthetic at our Busan clinic, placement reads as firm pressure and tugging rather than pain. The settling week — tightness and tenderness — is the truer cost, and it passes.

Yes — cones engage on placement and the cheek reads higher in the mirror before you leave, refining over two to six weeks as swelling settles and collagen builds.

Eighteen to twenty-four months for most — the longest hold on our thread menu, carried by cone-stimulated collagen after the materials resorb. Permanence claims anywhere are marketing past the biology.

Load and location: cones for the heavier mid-face reposition (from ₩700,000 per pair), moulded barbs for jawline vectors (₩100,000 per thread). Faces with both problems get both, sequenced in one written plan — the exam assigns the anchors.

Temporary: swelling, tightness, bruising and anchor-point puckering — the settling week. Uncommon: cone palpability in thin tissue or asymmetric settling, both minimised by honest candidate selection and vector planning at the exam.

Yes, sequenced — reposition first, then reassess volume two-plus weeks later (most patients need less filler than expected), with energy machines maintaining the result on their own layer. One written Busan plan orders it.

Softly for two weeks — wide mouth-opening and hard chewing strain fresh cones more than they strain barbs. It is the most important rule we give, so we give it twice.

Entry points sit in or near the hairline and are needle-small; early puckering there settles within the first week as tissue redistributes — normal integration, not misplacement.

Yes — heavier male mid-face tissue is often exactly the load cones handle best, and pair counts are written to the tissue at our Busan clinic.

From day two to three comfortably — nothing interacts with cabin pressure. Most visitors place early in a Busan stay and fly home settled around day seven.

Blood-thinning supplements for several days (with your physician's agreement) and alcohol the night before — the standard bruise-reducing pair.

The lift transfers gradually from mechanical anchor to built collagen — no sudden drop, a gentle taper from around month eighteen. Repeat threads or energy maintenance both extend it, chosen by your photos.

A visibly repositioned mid-face the same day — cheeks sitting higher, jowls softened at their source — refined by week six and holding eighteen to twenty-four months. What cones do not do: surgical-scale lifting, volume replacement, or permanence — said plainly before placement.
