What is V-Line Surgery?

V-line surgery creates a slimmer, more defined lower face by reshaping the jawbone and chin. Popular in Asian aesthetics but increasingly sought worldwide, this procedure transforms a square or wide jaw into an elegant V-shape through bone modification performed via incisions inside the mouth.

What to Know Before You Go

💡

Pro Tip:

Choose a surgeon with extensive V-line experience and CT-guided 3D planning. Request before/after photos of similar cases. Experience with this specific procedure matters significantly for optimal results.

⚠️

Insider Note:

This is major surgery with significant recovery time. Plan for 2 weeks minimum in Turkey and several months before seeing final results. Swelling can take 3–6 months to fully resolve.

"With a profound fear of needles, I went to their door. It was truly difficult and impossible for me, but thanks to the care and support of Berfu Raziye, I was able to have a root canal. That same morning, when I went to another dentist, they told me I couldn't have it and needed sedation, and sent me away. But thanks to Berfu's patience and faith, I made it through. Thank you again."
