Facial contouring

V-Line Jaw and Chin Surgery

V-Line surgery is a facial contouring procedure that reshapes the jawline and chin to create a more slender, tapered appearance. It combines mandibular angle reduction with chin reshaping to achieve a balanced profile from both the front and side.

Who it suits

People with a wide, square jawline or a blunt chin.
Individuals with a chin that is too long or too short for their face.
Those seeking a more slender, oval, or 'V-shaped' facial profile.

Technique highlights

Comprehensive contouring covering both the jaw angles and the chin tip.
T-Osteotomy or Diamond-cut techniques to adjust chin width and length.
Customized approach to avoid nerve damage and ensure natural proportions.

Surgical steps

The surgeon makes incisions inside the mouth to avoid visible external scarring.
The prominent angles of the jaw bone are shaved or cut to create a smoother line.
The chin bone is reshaped using T-osteotomy or Diamond-cut to adjust height and width.
The jawline and chin are aligned to create a seamless, slender 'V' shape.
Incisions are closed with dissolvable or removable sutures.

Recovery & aftercare

Hospital stay: 1 night for observation.
Initial recovery: Most patients return to daily routines after 1 week.
Stitch removal: Typically performed 2 weeks after the procedure.
Final results: Major swelling subsides in 1 month, with full results visible in 6-12 months.

Risks & things to consider

General risks include infection, bleeding, and nerve damage if not performed by an expert.
Results depend on individual bone structure and skin elasticity.
Asymmetry may occur if there is a pre-existing underlying skeletal imbalance.
