V-Line Surgery

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is V-line surgery painful?

Under general anesthesia during surgery, so no pain during the procedure. Post-operatively, discomfort is managed with medication for 1-2 weeks. Most patients describe tightness and soreness rather than severe pain.

Are the incisions visible?

No—all incisions are made inside the mouth, leaving no visible external scars. This is a major advantage of the intraoral approach used in V-line surgery.

How long is recovery?

Plan 2 weeks before returning to work—significant swelling makes public appearance difficult earlier. Full results take 3-6 months as all swelling resolves and bone settles.

Will my bite be affected?

Proper surgical planning by experienced surgeons preserves bite function. Some temporary bite adjustment is normal. Orthodontic evaluation may be recommended pre-operatively.

What about nerve damage?

Skilled surgeons carefully preserve facial nerves. Temporary numbness in the chin and lower lip is common and typically resolves over weeks to months. Permanent nerve damage is rare (1-3%).

Who is a good candidate?

Those with wide, square, or asymmetrical jaws wanting refined V-shaped facial contours. Best candidates have good bone structure to reshape and realistic expectations about the dramatic nature of this surgery.

Can V-line be combined with other procedures?

Yes—often combined with cheekbone reduction, chin advancement, or fat grafting for comprehensive facial contouring. Package pricing often available for combined procedures.

How long do results last?

Permanent—bone changes are lasting and don't revert. Soft tissue aging continues normally over time, but the structural changes to your jaw and chin are lifelong.
