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.
