What Is a V-Line Face Shape?

A V-line face shape is defined by a slim, tapered jawline that narrows smoothly toward the chin—creating a feminine, elegant, and youthful profile. For individuals with a square jaw, wide lower face, or blunt chin, achieving a natural V-line often requires more than just makeup or non-surgical treatments.

Key features of a wide or unbalanced jawline include:

• A square, wide lower face
• A broad, blunt chin
• A masculine or heavy appearance
• A face that looks shorter and wider than desired
• Lack of definition in the jaw and chin areas

What Is V-Line Surgery?

V-Line Surgery is a facial bone contouring procedure designed to create a slimmer, more refined lower face by reshaping the jawline and chin.

At Seoul Cheil Plastic Surgery, V-Line Surgery is performed with precision and artistry using advanced techniques for natural, scar-free results. The procedure typically involves:

• Mandibular Angle Reduction: Reshaping the jawbone by shaving the angles for a slimmer contour
• Mandibular Cortical Bone Shaving: Smoothing the outer layer of the jawbone for a softer, more delicate appearance
• Chin Reshaping (Genioplasty): Refining the chin’s width, projection, and length for a balanced V-line
• Surgery time: Approximately 2–4 hours under general anesthesia
• All incisions made inside the mouth for no visible scars

Why Combine With Other Procedures?

For a harmonious, natural result, V-Line Surgery is often combined with:

• Cheekbone reduction (malarplasty) for overall facial slimming
• Buccal fat removal for cheek contouring
• Fat grafting to restore volume where needed
• Temporal or forehead augmentation for upper face balance

This holistic approach ensures a balanced, feminine facial contour that looks beautiful from every angle.

Key Characteristics of a Face That May Benefit From V-Line Surgery

• A square or wide lower face
• A blunt or asymmetrical chin
• A heavy, masculine jawline
• Lack of jawline definition
• A desire for a slim, tapered V-line silhouette

Can Fillers or Botox Create a V-Line?

Fillers and Botox can temporarily enhance the jawline or slim the masseter muscles, but they:

• Cannot reshape the bone structure
• Provide limited, short-term results (lasting 4–12 months)
• May cause lumpiness or uneven contours over time

For a permanent, structural solution, V-Line Surgery is the most effective option.
