What is a v-line face?

The v-line refers to the contour of the jaw line. An aesthetic facial contour resembles the alphabet smooth ‘v’ from the frontal view.
This jaw line is commonly preferred by Asian women because a slender jaw line, and a small face signifies femininity. NJH v-line surgery
is individualized so that the results are balanced, proportionate, and beautiful.

The V-line surgery is different from the
traditional angle reduction surgery in that it combines
the concept of angle reduction and genioplasty.
This method ensures that all harsh facial lines are
softened from all angles, and the chin is
narrowed for a smoother, more slender,
and more proportionate face.

The V-line surgery is a safe surgical method that
minimizes nerve damage while effectively narrowing
and altering the outline of the lower jaw. State of
the art presurgical analysis including x-rays and three
dimensional CT (V-CHEP) allows meticulous
and scientific presurgical planning for a safe and
effective surgery.

The benefits of
V-line surgery

  • Outstanding frontal effectiveness
    with genioplasty!
  • Slender lower facefrom all angles and
    softened facial lines.
  • Customized surgery to enhance
    facial proportions
  • Effective surgery method to correct
    lower jaw asymmetry

Indications for V-line surgery

  • For those who desire a “v-line” lower face contour
  • For those whowant to advance their receding chin,
    elongate their short chin, shorten their long chin,
    or set-back their protruding chin while desiring a “v-line”
  • For those who wish to correct their long or
    short face
  • For those who wish to correct their wide,
    broad chin and make it more slim and feminine
  • For those who want to correct any lower jaw
    asymmetries while desiring a slimmer face

Method for V-line surgery

  1. Step 1A “T ostetotomy” is made avoiding the alveolar
    nerve course
  2. Step 2The middle piece of bone is resected
  3. Step 3The chin is narrowed and the angular angle is
    resected along with any step-off irregularities that
    may have occurred for a smooth bony contour
  4. Step 4The thickness of the jaw is minimized through
    a cortical ostectomy for a slimmer outcome

NJH mini v-line

The mini v-line surgery alters the chin and jaw-line without angle surgery. This procedure is ideal for those who do not have a prominent
angle but wants to correct a wide and broad chin. The lower v-line jaw is achieved by narrowing the chin with T-osteotomy and smoothing
the contour for a natural and ideal jaw line with no step-off deformities.
  1. Step 1A “T ostetotomy” is made avoiding the alveolar
    nerve course
  2. Step 2The middle piece of bone is resected
  3. Step 3The chin is narrowed
  4. Step 4The bone contour is refined and any step off
    deformities are eradicated for a smooth bony contour

Thread lifting v-line

The thread lifting v-line surgery combines the innovative diamond thread lifting procedure with v-line surgery for a tight fitting,
rejuvenated v-line with no sagging. The diamond lift thread has patented 360° barbs for superior tensile strength and anchoring strength
to expertly lift sagging tissue, maintain optimum results, and stimulate collagen synthesis.
  • Definition between the face and neck
  • faster surgical outcome
  • Slim and tight v-line lower jaw
  • No skin sagging
  • Stronger lifting effect with time
    (*individual results may vary)
The benefits of Diamond lifting v-line Recommendations for diamond lifting v-line
  • · faster surgical outcome

  • · No skin sagging
  • · Stronger lifting effect with time (*individual results may vary)
  • · Definition between the face and neck
  • · Individuals who are hesitant about v-line surgery because they
    are concerned with cheek sagging
  • · Individuals whose skin has lost elasticity and have fine wrinkles
  • · Individuals who has a lot of facial fat
  • · Individulas who have a deep nasolabial fold
  • · Individulas who don’t have a clear definition their neck and face
  • · Individuals with a saggy midface and jowls
  • · Individuals who want to experience a faster surgical result

Volume minimizing v-line

The volume minimizing v-line surgery addresses all possible factors that may make the lower jaw look too broad, too wide, too thick, or
too angular.
  • Slim v-line The chin is narrowed for
    an effective frontal v-line effect
  • Bone corticectomy The bony thickness is
    minimized through bone
    corticectomy
  • High frequency muscle ablation Bulky muscle is trimmed with
    high frequency muscle ablation
  • Deep buccal fat removal Excessive fat is removed for
    a slimmer v-line through deep
    buccal fat resection

Dimensional v-line

Slim v-line

adequate volume

youthful, sophisticated
and dimensional v-line

face minimizing effect

The Dimensional v-line surgery combines v-line surgery and facial autologous fat injection for a slimmer and more dimensional face
Fat has a tendency to atrophy and become loose and thin as aging progresses; adequate facial volume is necessary for a youthful
image. At NJH plastic surgery, multiple factors are simultaneously considered for results that are balanced and harmonized.

Shaping v-line

Submental fat liposuction combined with v-line surgery is a suitable option for those who are concerned with excessive facial fat and
a wide, masculine jawline. Localized facial fat deposits are common, especially of the lower jawline and the submental area. When there
is fat accumulation of this area, the effects of v-line surgery may be obscured because jawline definition is hard to discern and the
localized fat may even become more noticeable. The shaping v-line surgery helps restore and reshape the lower jawline for a slim and
tight submental area.

Candidates for shaping v-line

  • Individuals who have
    excessive facial fat
  • Individuals who have
    a double chin or
    a receding jaw
  • Individuals who want
    a greater slimming effect with
    v-line surgery
  • Individuals who want to
    sharply define the border
    between their face and neck

Translucent v-line

In facial contouring surgery of the chin and zygoma, surgical plates and screws are placed for fixation of the osteotomy sites. Firm
fixation is essential for proper bone healing, stability, and safety. Widely used titanium plates and screws, although safe, are permanent
and detectable through diagnostic radiographs such as x-rays, dental images, and sometimes may be palpable in some individuals.
Translucent v-line surgery offers an alternate solution with absorbable plates and screws. Theseabsorbable surgical plates and screws
offer long-lasting stability for the time needed for bone remodeling after surgery but absorbs over time, making them undetectable and
safe.

Titanium surgical plates and screws, although safe, are permanent and detectable
through diagnostic radiographs such as
x-rays, and sometimes may be palpable
in some individuals.

Absorbable surgical plates and screws, absorbs gradually over time, making them
undetectable in imaging, so nobody
needs to know your surgical history.

투명 Vline의 장점

The completely biodegradable and bioresorpable absorbable
surgical plates and screws are the innovation behind Translucent
v-line surgery.
