A slim, egg-shaped facial line is considered one of the basic conditions of beauty. A V-line jawline that shows clearly without excess facial fat can make the features stand out more and adds sophistication. That is why the "V-line face" has been in fashion for so long and has drawn so much interest.
An uneven facial line with full cheeks, by contrast, can dull that femininity and sophistication, and excess facial fat can make the face look larger as well. Beauty devices, drinks and massages said to create a V-line have all had their moment, but making the facial line you were born with smoother is harder than it seems, and some people say they never got a satisfying result. Some say they dieted hard but it made little difference to facial fat, and there are cases where people could only watch helplessly as the cheek and jaw fat sagged with age and the jawline turned into a U-line. Contouring surgery, which promises a dramatic change, is sometimes chosen as a way to overcome such stubborn insecurity about appearance.
Dr. Yoosuk Chung of TheLINE Plastic Surgery said, "Many people think that an uneven facial line calls for bone-shaving contouring surgery, but more than 60% of patients who want facial contouring surgery do not need to have facial bone shaved," adding, "In those cases a smooth V line can be created simply by refining the unnecessary fat, facial soft tissue and cheek fat that make the facial line blunt."
One non-surgical option for a V-line without bone surgery is Power V Lifting. Power V Lifting is a V-line contouring procedure that removes cheek fat and the double chin and refines the facial soft tissue, giving the effect of cheeks slimmed as if facial liposuction had been performed, and unlike simple facial liposuction it has the advantage of a natural lifting effect as well.
It suits cases where the face looks large because of excess facial fat, and it can also correct cheek fat that has sagged after facial contouring surgery or two-jaw surgery, as well as helping when the cheek and jaw fat have sagged into a U-shaped jaw. Improvement in skin elasticity through skin collagen remodelling can also be expected, and since the fat cells themselves are removed the effect is semi-permanent.
Dr. Yoosuk Chung advised, "Because lifting is non-surgical, the recovery period is short and the method is relatively simple, but since it is performed on the face it must be carried out accurately and safely," adding, "Through consultation with a specialist who has abundant procedural experience and know-how, you need to start by having it assessed whether V-line lifting is appropriate for you."
