Introduction
V-Line chin contouring surgery, also known as V-line facial surgery, has become a popular cosmetic procedure that helps reshape the jawline and chin to create a more youthful, V-shaped appearance. Originating in South Korea, this surgery has gained global attention, particularly among individuals seeking a more defined and slimmed-down facial structure. The procedure combines several techniques like jaw reduction, chin reshaping, and sometimes genioplasty to sculpt the lower face.
This surgery has become synonymous with beauty standards in many East Asian countries, where a slimmer, more angular jawline is highly desired. However, it’s now making waves worldwide, thanks to its ability to enhance facial proportions and restore confidence in patients of all genders and ages.
What Is V-Line Chin Contouring Surgery?
V-Line chin contouring surgery involves a series of procedures aimed at reshaping the lower part of the face. The primary goal is to create a smoother, more angular jawline with a V-shape. The procedure can include:
Jaw Reduction: The surgeon reduces the size of the lower jaw by trimming or reshaping the mandible (jawbone), typically through a technique called mandibular angle reduction. This is done to slim down a wide or square jaw.
Chin Reduction or Augmentation: The chin is either reduced (if it's too prominent) or augmented (using implants or reshaping the bone) to create a more balanced look.
Genioplasty: In some cases, the surgeon may perform genioplasty to further modify the chin. This involves repositioning the chin bone to refine its shape.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, and the surgeon’s goal is to improve facial harmony and proportion, creating a balanced, naturally contoured appearance.
