How the star placement works
PDO threads are dissolvable sutures placed beneath the skin to provide support and encourage tissue response. The Submental Star uses multiple threads arranged in a radiating, star-like pattern under the chin to create multidirectional lift, offering structural support that targets laxity and helps redefine the jawline without surgical incisions.
The threads act as a temporary scaffold while stimulating the body's natural repair processes. Over time the threads dissolve, but the collagen and connective tissue response can maintain firmer contours. Because this is a minimally invasive approach, clients typically experience a subtle lift rather than an immediate surgical facelift.
What to expect during appointment
Appointments include an assessment, mapping of the star-pattern placement and the procedure itself. Duration: 60 MINUTES covers consultation, marking, placement and immediate post-procedure review. In Bronx's University Heights neighborhood we design sessions conscious of commuter schedules, so quick, efficient visits work well for clients coming from Fordham, Metro-North, or nearby subway lines.
After placement you may notice mild swelling or bruising; our team provides written aftercare guidance to support recovery. Price: $350 is the listed cost for the Thread Submental Star service. Most clients return to normal activities quickly, but plan light activity for the first day and follow the aftercare instructions closely.
Suitability and realistic outcomes
This technique is intended to address under-chin laxity and reduce the appearance of a double chin by tightening and lifting localized tissue. Individual candidacy depends on skin condition, anatomy and goals, so a consultation in Bronx is important to determine whether threads are an appropriate, non-surgical option compared with other treatments.
Outcomes are shaped by each person's skin elasticity, lifestyle and healing response. The procedure stimulates lasting collagen renewal as described in the service overview, but results vary and are not guaranteed. Discuss expectations with your provider so you understand likely benefits and any recommended follow-up or maintenance.
