What is the experience of getting a thread lift and Thermage in Cheongdam-dong? A full 90-day record from consultation to post-op at Miracle Hospital.

My friend recommended it to me like this: "Try the one in Cheongdam-dong called 90 Days Miracle. My jawline appeared immediately after I finished the thread lift." Well, I was sold by that sentence. I spent two nights doing research and booking flights, and finally went last month. Here is a true record of my entire process from consultation to treatment at 90 Days Miracle Hospital.

I. Why Choose 90 Days Miracle Hospital | Dermatology Clinic under Cheongdam-dong JY Plastic Surgery

Actually, the most attractive point for me is: this is a formal dermatology clinic under JY Plastic Surgery. In Korea, many plastic surgery clinics open dermatology departments, but not many have a parent company with the caliber of JY as backing. This means the equipment, doctors, and process management are all up to large hospital standards, not small workshops. The address is 4th Floor, SD Biosensor Building, 509 Dosan-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul—about a 10-minute walk from Exit 9 of Cheongdam Station. The 11th floor of the building is the JY Plastic Surgery headquarters, so it's very convenient if you want to do surgical projects at the same time.

II. Consultation Experience | 3D Skin Testing + "Subtraction Before Addition" Philosophy

After arriving, I first filled out a form at the front desk and was then taken to the skin testing room. They use a 3D skin imaging device, not a common handheld tester. The generated report is 12 pages long, quantifying wrinkle depth, pigment distribution, and pore size. The consulting doctor said something that left a deep impression on me: "Don't rush into Thermage yet. Your nasolabial fold problem is caused by sagging of the jawline. You should do a thread lift first to pull up the contour, and then use optoelectronics to improve skin texture." This is their "subtraction before addition" principle—solve structural problems first, then manage the surface. I think this is why the place is reliable: they don't blindly upsell the most expensive projects, but provide a plan based on your actual situation.

III. What I Did | Real Feelings on Thread Lift + Thermage

In the end, I chose a combination plan of thread lift + US version Thermage. Thread lift first. Thread Lift Process: The doctor inserted needles from hidden positions at the hairline and behind the ears, using PDO threads. The whole process took about 40 minutes. There was only a slight stinging sensation at the moment of insertion; after that, I basically felt nothing. The doctor's technique was indeed very delicate. I believed it when my friend said it was "like embroidery." Thermage Process: Started after applying topical anesthesia, 600 shots for the whole face. The sensation of temperature on the cheeks and jawline was quite obvious, but completely within the tolerable range. After the treatment, the face was slightly red, which subsided after 30 minutes of ice packing.

IV. 90 Days Miracle Hospital Project Prices (My Actual Spending)

Price is a part I care about a lot. Here are the project quotes I checked on BeautsGO and my actual spending:

Project	Reference Price (₩)
US Ultherapy [Anti-aging & Lifting]	From ₩1,200,000
US Thermage [Firming & Lifting]	From ₩1,300,000
Titanium Lifting [Whitening, Brightening, Lifting]	From ₩990,000
Rejuran Healer [Age-reversing Black Box]	From ₩320,000
Hyaluronic Acid Injection [Improve Facial Contour]	From ₩600,000

💡 Prices are for reference only and are subject to the clinic's quote on the day. Combination packages are usually 10%-15% cheaper than buying separately.

V. Post-operative Recovery Record | I tracked for 6 weeks after returning

Days 1-3: There was slight swelling in the face, especially at the thread lift insertion points, which felt a bit hard to the touch. The doctor said this was normal and told me not to touch it. A long list of dietary restrictions was sent: spicy food, soy sauce, and alcohol were all off-limits. Day 7: The swelling basically subsided. Looking in the mirror, I found the jawline was indeed clearer than before. I sent a comparison photo to a friend, and she said "the face looks a size smaller." Weeks 3-4: The effects of Thermage began to show. The cheeks became firmer, and the fine lines on both sides of the mouth faded a lot. Week 6: The overall effect stabilized. The jawline is clear, nasolabial folds are significantly shallower, and the skin is overall a shade brighter. I am very satisfied with this result. After the procedure, the clinic will follow up regularly via WeChat, reminding you about sun protection, hydration, and applying masks on time. They also gave repair essence and sunscreen as gifts; the attention to detail was great.

VI. Is 90 Days Miracle Hospital Worth Going? | My Honest Conclusion

To be honest, I was a bit nervous before going. After all, this place isn't as famous as some large hospitals in Gangnam, but after the actual experience, I think it's underrated. Several advantages:

• Doctors don't blindly upsell; they provide plans based on your budget and needs.
• Equipment is all legitimate; Thermage tips are verified in person.
• Post-operative follow-up is very thorough, with 24-hour WeChat customer service.
• Supported by the medical system of JY Plastic Surgery, providing a strong sense of security.

The disadvantage is that the location in Cheongdam-dong isn't the most convenient (but not remote either), and you must book in advance; you basically can't get in if you just show up on the day. Summary: If it's your first time going to Korea for anti-aging, you have a medium budget, and you want to find a "no-fail" clinic, this place is worth putting on your list.

VIII. Booking Method | Why BeautsGO is more convenient than the official website

Finally, sharing a small experience: I booked through BeautsGO this time. Because its interface is in Chinese and the prices are all public, I didn't have to spend a long time looking at Korean on the official website to find the booking entry. Also, no Korean phone number or Korean language skills are needed—zero-threshold booking. For someone going to Korea for medical beauty for the first time, it's really worry-free.
