What is V-Line Surgery?
V-line surgery refers to a combination of procedures designed to create a slender, V-shaped face. It has become synonymous with Korean beauty standards and is one of the most sought-after procedures by international patients.
Procedures Involved
V-line surgery may include:
- Mandible Angle Reduction: Shaving or cutting the jaw bone to reduce width
- Chin Reduction/Augmentation: Reshaping the chin for better proportion
- Genioplasty: Chin bone repositioning
- Buccal Fat Removal: Removing cheek fat for a slimmer appearance
The Surgical Process
V-line surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2-4 hours. Incisions are made inside the mouth, leaving no visible scars.
Recovery Expectations
Recovery from V-line surgery is more intensive than many cosmetic procedures:
- Hospital stay: 1-2 nights
- Significant swelling: 2-4 weeks
- Return to work: 2-3 weeks
- Final results: 3-6 months
Important Considerations
This is a major surgery with potential risks. Choose an experienced surgeon at an accredited facility and ensure you have realistic expectations about outcomes.
