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
Step 1A “T ostetotomy” is made avoiding the alveolar nerve course
Step 2The middle piece of bone is resected
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
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.
Step 1A “T ostetotomy” is made avoiding the alveolar nerve course
Step 2The middle piece of bone is resected
Step 3The chin is narrowed
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

Slim and tight v-line lower jaw
No skin sagging
Stronger lifting effect with time (*individual results may vary)

Recommendations for diamond lifting v-line
· faster surgical outcome
· Slim and tight v-line lower jaw
· 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.
