V-line Surgery in Bangalore | Dr. Rajendra Gujjalanavar
What Is V-line Surgery?
V-line Surgery is a transformative facial contouring procedure that reshapes the lower face — specifically the jaw and chin — to create a slim, tapered, V-shaped facial outline. The procedure combines mandibular angle reduction (jaw slimming) with chin contouring (genioplasty) to produce a smooth, continuous narrowing from the ears to a delicate chin point.
Originating from Korean aesthetic surgery, V-line surgery is now one of the most sought-after facial contouring procedures globally — and increasingly in Bangalore — among patients who desire a smaller, more refined lower face.
Who Is a Candidate for V-line Surgery?
V-line surgery is recommended for patients who have:
- A wide, square, or angular lower jaw
- A flat, blunt, or disproportionately large chin
- A broad lower face that appears unbalanced with the upper face
- Desire for a slimmer, oval, or V-shaped facial silhouette
- Bone-dominant lower face widening (not just muscle)
V-line Surgery Procedure: What Does It Involve?
Dr. Rajendra performs V-line surgery through intraoral (inside-mouth) incisions — ensuring zero external visible scars. The two key components are:
Mandibular Angle Reduction
The protruding corners of the jaw angles are surgically resected and the outer cortex of the jaw body is shaved to slim the entire lower jaw width.
Chin Contouring (Genioplasty)
The chin bone is reshaped — reduced in width and adjusted in length — to create a tapered, pointed chin that forms the tip of the V. Dr. Rajendra uses the T-shaped osteotomy technique for precise, three-dimensional chin reshaping.
Long Curved Osteotomy (when needed)
A sweeping curved bone cut along the full mandible body creates a flowing, natural jaw-to-chin transition without any abrupt angle changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
V-line surgery is a facial contouring procedure that combines mandibular angle reduction (jaw slimming) and chin contouring (genioplasty) to reshape the lower face into a slim, tapered V-shape.
Yes. V-line surgery involves permanent bone reshaping. The reduced jaw angles and reshaped chin do not revert, delivering long-lasting results.
The full procedure typically takes 2 to 3 hours under general anaesthesia.
No. Dr. Rajendra uses intraoral (inside-mouth) incisions exclusively, so there are no visible external scars on the face or jaw.
Most patients return to work within 3–4 weeks. Swelling resolves significantly by 6–8 weeks, with final results visible at 3–6 months.
Yes. V-line surgery is commonly combined with cheekbone reduction, facial feminization surgery, or rhinoplasty for a complete facial transformation.
No. V-line surgery is popular among both men and women. The degree of reshaping is customised to maintain natural masculine or feminine proportions according to each patient’s goals.
