V Line Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic
Are you looking to refine a wide or square jaw into a slimmer, more delicate shape? V Line Surgery—also known as mandibular contouring or jaw reduction surgery—is a popular cosmetic procedure in Korea designed to create a smooth, tapered facial contour from the cheekbones to the chin. This procedure is especially sought after by those who want to achieve the coveted “V-shaped” lower face, which is widely considered a hallmark of youthful beauty and femininity.
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, we specialize in V Line surgery tailored to your facial structure, gender, and aesthetic goals. Using advanced 3D imaging and precision surgical techniques, our board-certified surgeons provide natural-looking, harmonious results trusted by patients from around the world.
Why Choose V Line Surgery?
V Line surgery is ideal for individuals who:
- Have a wide or square lower jaw
- Want to reduce the width of the jaw and contour the chin
- Desire a more feminine or youthful facial shape
- Have an asymmetrical or protruding mandible
- Feel their lower face appears bulky or lacks definition
This procedure offers dramatic, permanent results that slim and refine the entire lower face, boosting confidence and facial balance.
What’s Involved in V Line Surgery?
V Line surgery typically combines two or more facial bone contouring techniques:
- Mandibular Angle Reduction (Jaw Shaving): Reduces the width of the lower jaw by trimming or reshaping the angle and sides of the mandible.
- Cortical Bone Removal: Thins the outer layer of the jawbone to create a smoother contour.
- T-Osteotomy (Chin Reshaping): The chin is narrowed, shortened, or reshaped to form a V-line, often using a T-shaped bone cut and repositioning method.
These techniques are often performed together in one session to sculpt a balanced, V-shaped facial silhouette.
Consultation and Planning
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, your V Line journey begins with an in-depth consultation and diagnostic imaging. Every face is different, so we create a surgical plan that considers your bone structure, skin type, and personal aesthetic preferences.
During your consultation, we will:
- Conduct facial analysis and 3D-CT scans
- Assess jaw angle, chin projection, and symmetry
- Discuss your desired facial proportions and outcomes
- Review previous patient cases and simulations
- Recommend the safest and most effective combination of procedures for you
Our goal is to design a result that enhances your natural features and maintains facial harmony.
The Procedure: What to Expect
V Line surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2 to 4 hours. The entire procedure is done intraorally (through the mouth), so there are no visible external scars.
Surgical Overview:
- Anesthesia and Preparation: You’ll be put under general anesthesia in a sterile operating room.
- Incisions: Made inside the mouth along the gum line to access the jaw and chin bones.
- Bone Contouring: The jaw angles are shaved, and the chin is reshaped and repositioned.
- Stabilization: Plates and screws are used to secure the repositioned bones.
- Closure: Internal sutures are placed, and a facial compression band is applied.
Most patients stay overnight in the hospital for monitoring.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from V Line surgery requires downtime and careful aftercare, but results become more visible as swelling subsides over the weeks following surgery.
Recovery Timeline:
- Week 1: Hospital stay (1–2 days), swelling and bruising peak; soft or liquid diet recommended
- Week 2–3: Major swelling decreases; stitches dissolve or are removed; return to light activities
- Week 4–6: Continued improvement in contour; most patients resume work or school
- 3–6 Months: Final results take shape as swelling completely resolves
We provide detailed post-op care instructions, pain management, and scheduled follow-ups to ensure smooth healing and excellent results.
