Mini V-line Surgery in Bangalore | Dr. Rajendra Gujjalanavar
What Is Mini V-line Surgery?
Mini V-line Surgery is a targeted, less extensive version of the full V-line procedure. While a full V-line surgery combines mandible reduction and chin contouring, Mini V-line surgery focuses specifically on reshaping the chin bone (genioplasty) to create a slimmer, more pointed chin tip — without full mandibular angle reduction.
It is ideal for patients who do not have excessively wide jaw angles but wish to refine the chin area for a more defined, tapered lower face profile.
Mini V-line vs. Full V-line Surgery: What Is the Difference?
| Feature | Mini V-line Surgery | Full V-line Surgery |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Chin contouring only | Mandible + Chin contouring |
| Ideal Candidate | Mild lower-face concern | Wide jaw + chin concern |
| Surgery Duration | 1–1.5 hours | 2–3 hours |
| Recovery Time | 2–3 weeks | 4–6 weeks |
Who Is a Good Candidate for Mini V-line Surgery?
Patients with a square or flat chin seeking a more pointed appearance
Individuals with a relatively normal jaw width who want chin refinement
Those seeking a less invasive, quicker-recovery option
Patients who want subtle improvement, not a dramatic full-face transformation
Procedure Overview: Mini V-line at De Aesthetikos, Bangalore
The Mini V-line procedure is performed under general anaesthesia through a small intraoral incision. Dr. Rajendra reshapes the chin bone by reducing its width and/or adjusting its projection. The procedure requires no external incisions and leaves no visible scars. Operating time is typically 60–90 minutes, making it a streamlined procedure with a shorter recovery period compared to full V-line surgery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Mini V-line surgery is a targeted chin contouring procedure that reshapes and slims the chin bone to create a more pointed, V-shaped lower face — without performing full mandibular angle reduction.
Full V-line surgery combines mandibular angle reduction and chin contouring to slim both the jaw and chin. Mini V-line surgery focuses only on chin contouring, making it less invasive with a shorter recovery.
The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. Post-operative soreness is manageable with prescribed pain relief. Most patients report mild discomfort that resolves within 1–2 weeks.
Most patients recover within 2–3 weeks. Swelling is less extensive than full V-line surgery, and most patients return to normal activities within 10–14 days.
No. Incisions are made inside the mouth, so there are no external visible scars on the chin or face.
Yes. It is commonly combined with jaw botox, fat dissolving injections, or full mandible reduction for enhanced results.
The bone reshaping is permanent. The results of Mini V-line surgery are long-lasting and not affected by ageing in the same way soft-tissue procedures are.
