V-Line Jaw Surgery

V-Line jaw surgery refers to reshaping the jaw to form a slim, V-shaped contour — a look popularized by celebrities in the 2000s and still a beauty standard in 2025.

It combines square jaw reduction (lateral cortectomy) and chin surgery (genioplasty). There are two main chin techniques:
1️⃣ Shaving the outer chin (mental tubercles) to smooth the shape
2️⃣ Performing a T-osteotomy: cutting the chin vertically and horizontally, then narrowing the shape by bringing two triangular bone pieces together — creating a sharp V-line.

After shaping the chin, the lower jawbone is trimmed to match — reducing its lower edge and width.

This is all done through intraoral incisions (no visible scars). To protect the inferior alveolar nerve, we use ultrasonic saws that cut bone but not soft tissue. This also helps smooth out the “second angle” between the jaw and chin, avoiding any step-like contour.

For patients over 40, bone shaping alone may lead to sagging skin. In those cases, simultaneous facelift surgery is recommended. If skin laxity isn’t addressed early, later facelifts may be less effective as the skin anchors lower. Doing both surgeries together tightens the skin and defines the jawline more clearly.

Since the intraoral approach fully exposes the jaw, it detaches ligaments and fascia — making facelift lifting easier and more effective. In older patients with weak chins and wide jaws, combining chin advancement with a facelift pulls the skin both forward and backward, maximizing lift and definition.

The small plate used for fixing the chin after a T-osteotomy can stay, but many patients choose to remove it after 1–1.5 years for peace of mind.

V-Line surgery offers a slimmer jawline and stronger profile — especially when paired with a facelift.
