Would V Line help asymmetrical chin/mouth & long chin? (Photos)

Question

I've noticed that my chin and mouth areas are asymmetrical and that my chin is disproportionately long. When I smile it only becomes more noticeable. Would V-line surgery help this or is there another procedure that could improve my face shape.

V line surgery would change your mandibular angles and this would not improve your appearance. I would recommend a vertical reduction genioplasty which will decrease the overall length of your face. The amount of chin projection needs to stay the same so that you maintain the mentolabial fold.

Jeffrey H. Spiegel, MD · Answer

V-line surgery is a term for narrowing the jaw.  In some cases the key issue is the chin. Here we can do a variation of jaw surgery where, through the inside of your mouth, we contour the bone and soft tissue to a more tapered and attractive shape.  It takes about an hour and there are a few weeks of swelling, but the results can be life changing.  Watch our videos to learn more.
