Threads alone
Silhouette lifting repositions tissue, but nasolabial folds and lost elasticity can still linger.
HERA Signature
Premium Silthera
Thread lifting, Ultherapy and filler — designed as one flow, tailored to your face.
Lifting is never a single procedure. Sagging is loss of elasticity, fat descent and structural change happening at once — so HERA lifts, tightens and finishes within one design.
Why one procedure isn't enough
You had lifting — so why didn't it satisfy?
Each treatment is excellent on its own, but facial change happens across several layers at once. Correct only one and the rest stays visible — or the balance feels off.
Ultherapy alone
Focused ultrasound tightens, yet the lifted feeling may not hold on its own.
Filler alone
Volume fills a hollow, but can read unnatural or drift back down over time.
One area only
Correcting a single spot can leave the rest of the face out of balance.
Three roles, one design
Lift, tighten, then finish
A single procedure treats one layer. Pairing complementary steps lets each do what it does best — for a more balanced, natural lift than any one alone.
- 01 · LiftSilhouette Soft
Thread lifting
Physically elevates sagging tissue and redraws the facial line — the foundation every other step builds on.
- 02 · TightenFocused ultrasound · 1.5 / 3.0 mm
Ultherapy Prime
Precisely firms the areas where elasticity has started to fade, locking in the line the threads created.
- 03 · FinishOnly where needed
Filler
Not to overfill — a natural final detail that smooths the specific areas still needing it, applied only when needed.
Lift with threads, tighten with ultrasound, finish only where needed.
One flow
Lift · tighten · finish — designed around you.

Why GANGNAM HERA
The same thread, a different result — it lives in the design
Silhouette lifting isn't about inserting threads. It's about reading the structure of skin, fat and fascia and designing the path each thread travels. Dr. Lee Jong-hoon plans that path from 20+ years of forehead, neck and face-lift surgery — having seen fat, muscle and vessels first-hand.

What to expect
How the change tends to settle
A general guide only — the pace and degree of change vary with your skin, age and lifestyle, and are discussed at consultation.
A tighter feel early on
Many feel an initial tightening from ultrasound soon after, though this can ease as the skin settles over the first weeks.
A redrawn line over 1–3 months
As the threads anchor and collagen responds, the jaw and cheek line tends to look more defined through the first few months.
Most natural at 3–6 months
Collagen remodelling continues gradually, so the combined result usually looks its most settled and natural around three to six months.
A gradual, not dramatic, change
The design aims for a natural improvement rather than an obvious pull — a rested, lifted impression over a 'done' look.
Downtime & aftercare
What to keep in mind afterward
General guidance for a combination lifting — your individual precautions are reviewed before and after the procedure.
Mild swelling or bruising
Some tightness, mild swelling or slight bruising around thread and filler points is common and usually eases within days to about two weeks.
Ease off heavy strain briefly
Avoid intense exercise, saunas and hot baths for a short period, and be gentle when washing and applying makeup at first.
Exaggerated expressions
Large mouth movements and heavy chewing are best kept moderate for the first days while threads settle into place.
Sun & skincare
Protect the area from strong sun and follow the skincare and follow-up guidance given for your case.
Individual responses differ; this is general information, not a promise of specific results. Tell your medical team about any medications or conditions at consultation.
FAQ
Frequently asked
Why receive thread lifting and Ultherapy together?
Threads lift sagging tissue directly while Ultherapy tightens areas of lost elasticity — different roles that complement each other for a more balanced result than either alone.
How long is the downtime?
A combination lifting is non-surgical, so most people return to daily life quickly. Mild swelling or slight bruising near thread and filler points can appear and usually settles within a few days to around two weeks. Your individual expectations are reviewed at consultation.
Is filler always necessary?
No. Filler is used as a natural finishing detail after lifting, not to fill aggressively. Whether it's needed is decided individually at consultation.
Will my face look overly pulled?
HERA aims for a natural improvement, designing only as much as needed based on the direction and degree of sagging, so post-procedure awkwardness is minimised.
Why does the recommended set differ by area?
The right combination changes with where sagging begins, its depth, volume change and face shape — the same procedures are designed to your structure for a natural result.
Can a double chin be improved on its own?
Yes. A jawline-focused lower-face design can create a crisper jaw impression; the plan is tailored to your condition at consultation.
