Facial contouring

V-line surgery (브이라인수술)

The angle below the ear and a blunt chin are corrected together, with a long-curved ostectomy and a T-osteotomy that narrows the chin, for a slim and balanced jawline.

Who it suits

  • A wide face with a rounded chin
  • Square jaw surgery alone gave too little frontal change
  • A long face that needs rebalancing

Technique highlights

  • A T-osteotomy narrows the chin instead of mere shaving
  • A long-curved line from the angle along the lateral border for continuity
  • A MAX-V variant for patients wanting more frontal effect

Surgical steps

  • 3D CT analysis of bone shape and nerve position
  • Long-curved ostectomy of the mandibular angle
  • T-osteotomy at the chin with fixation

Recovery & aftercare

  • One night as an inpatient because two or more areas are treated
  • Most swelling resolves within three months

Risks & things to consider

  • Removing chin bone without narrowing it may not produce a slim line

Frequently asked questions

How is V-line different from square jaw surgery?

EU explains that square jaw surgery changes only the angle below the ear and leaves a blunt chin, while V-line treats both at once.
