An egg-shaped face has been considered a beautiful face shape in the past and still is today. A facial line that falls smoothly from the temples to the jawline without bumps adds femininity and has the advantage of suiting any hairstyle naturally. An uneven facial line caused by protruding cheekbones, a blunt U-shaped jawline or sagging cheeks, by contrast, gives a relatively strong and hard impression and is also said to be a factor that makes a person look older. Of course there are many people who cultivate a distinctive look even without an egg-shaped, that is to say “V-line”, face, but regardless of degree, an angular and sagging facial line becomes an insecurity, and most people still long for a V-line.
Even so, undergoing bone-shaving facial contouring surgery unconditionally in order to refine an uneven facial line is a hasty decision. The reason is that the contours of a person's face are not determined by bone alone. A, a 22-year-old university student, also visited a clinic after much deliberation over whether she had to have bone surgery for her angular face shape, and at the consultation she was told that her facial line could be improved without shaving bone. Her blunt jawline and protruding cheek fat had made her jaw look angular, so after refining these she can look forward to an egg-shaped V-line face, which came as a relief.
Dr. Yoosuk Chung of TheLINE Plastic Surgery explains, “In fact, more than half of the patients who consider facial contouring surgery for an uneven facial line do not need bone surgery, and if the contour is not caused by the shape of the bone, the face can be improved into a V-line simply by refining the facial soft tissue.” Cases where the cheek and jaw fat have sagged into a U-shaped jawline, or where the face looks large because of excess facial fat, fall into this category, and a V-line is created through procedures such as “Power V Contouring”. As mentioned, Power V Contouring removes cheek fat and facial fat, removes the double chin and refines the facial soft tissue to create a smooth face shape without bone surgery.
The procedure is known to offer not only the facial liposuction effect that is widely performed these days but also a natural lifting effect and improved skin elasticity as the skin collagen is remodelled. It is also said that cheek sagging that has appeared after facial contouring surgery or two-jaw surgery can be corrected with Power V Contouring. Dr. Junmo Bang said, “V-line lifting is simpler than bone surgery, but because it is performed on the face, accuracy and safety must come first. I urge patients to find a specialist with abundant procedural experience and know-how, to understand the condition of their own face and to decide on the procedure that suits it.”
