Facial contouring

MVT Jaw Reduction Surgery (V-Line Contouring)

MVT Jaw Reduction is a specialized facial contouring surgery that refines the jawline by addressing the bone, outer cortex, and muscle simultaneously. It utilizes V-Logic scanning technology to ensure the new facial proportions are safe and naturally balanced with the patient's existing features.

Who it suits

Individuals with a wide or square jawline caused by thick bone and muscle.
Those who want a slimmer V-line shape while maintaining natural proportions.
Patients with a blunt or flat chin that lacks definition.

Technique highlights

Comprehensive reduction of jaw bone, outer bone cortex (Corticectomy), and masseter muscle.
V-Logic technology uses 3D-CT scans to map nerve locations for maximum safety.
Calculates the ideal ratio between cheekbone width and jaw angle for a balanced look.

Surgical steps

Pre-operative 3D-CT scanning to analyze bone structure and nerve path.
Administration of general anesthesia by a specialist.
Surgical incision is made inside the mouth to hide scarring.
Reduction of the mandibular angle (jaw bone) and thinning of the cortical bone.
Management of excess muscle or fat tissue as needed to refine the jawline.
Closure of incisions with dissolvable or removable sutures.

Recovery & aftercare

1-day hospital stay for monitoring is required.
Stitches inside the mouth are typically removed after 14 days.
Initial recovery takes about 7 days before returning to work or light activities.
Avoid hard, crunchy, or spicy foods for at least 4 weeks.

Risks & things to consider

Potential nerve damage if the cut is too deep near the mandibular nerve.
Post-operative swelling and bruising are common for the first 2-4 weeks.
Risk of sagging skin if the bone is reduced excessively without considering skin elasticity.
Strict adherence to a soft food diet is required to prevent displacement of the healing bone.

Frequently asked questions

Is the surgery painful?

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, so you will not feel pain during surgery. Post-surgery discomfort is managed with prescribed medication.

How long before I see the final result?

Most patients return to daily activities after 7 days, but full recovery and final shape take 3-6 months.

Will there be visible scars?

Since the incisions are made inside the mouth, there are no visible external scars.
