Types of V-Line Jaw Reduction Surgery
- Standard Jaw Reduction : A specialized plastic surgeon will remove excess bone to reduce the thickness of the jawline, creating a more slender facial structure. They will also smooth and contour the bone to be more rounded, and may also address the muscles to further reduce the face’s overall size.
- V-Line Jaw Reduction : The surgeon will trim and file the jawbone from the edge of the ear down to the chin angle. This removes the protruding jawbone while also moving the chin bone inward to narrow the chin area. This creates a V-shape rather than a square one, resulting in a smaller and more slender face. This procedure does not affect tooth roots or nerves.
V-Line Jaw Reduction Techniques
Intraoral Incision Surgery : The surgeon makes an incision inside the mouth, behind the last molar, extending to the jaw angle. They then separate the muscle and bone membrane to expose the jawbone. The jawbone is then cut, filed, and contoured to create a smooth, rounded shape. This method requires specialized skills to make a long and wide incision without leaving external scars or damaging the nerves at the corners of the mouth.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Intraoral Surgery
Pros:
- Allows for a long and wide incision.
- Leaves no external scars.
- Does not affect nerves at the corners of the mouth.
Cons :
- Swelling can be significant for the first three days.
- Requires special post-operative care.
- Maintaining oral hygiene is crucial to prevent infection.

Malar Reduction: A Shortcut to a Smaller, More Slender Face
Who is a good candidate for cheekbone reduction surgery?
This procedure is best for people with:
- Cheekbones that are high and protrude forward.
- Cheekbones that are high and protrude to the sides.
- Cheekbones that jut out at the sides of the face.
- Thick, high cheekbones.
- Large, clearly prominent cheekbones.
- High cheekbones with a wide base.
Which Cheekbone Reduction Method is Right for You?
Achieving a smaller, more contoured face through cheekbone reduction can be done in two ways: filing or shaving the cheekbone and surgically repositioning the cheekbone. The best method depends on the specific structure of your facial bones.
Filing or Shaving the Cheekbone In this technique, the surgeon makes an incision inside the mouth, along the inner cheek. Using specialized medical instruments, they file or shave down the excess bone before closing the incision with sutures. The main benefit of this method is that it leaves no visible scars on the face, as the entire procedure is performed through an intraoral incision.
Surgical Cheekbone Reduction This is a highly safe procedure performed by a specialized plastic surgeon with expertise in facial bone structure. It uses advanced techniques and technology, including a detailed 3D CT scan analysis for precise surgical planning. While cheekbones have varying thickness, the internal structure of the facial bones is hollow. Rest assured, shaving or surgically repositioning the cheekbones will not affect your nerves, making the procedure very safe with minimal risk.
