Would I benefit from V-line surgery or should I consider a different procedure? (photos)

bibittegirlOct 16, 2024
I’m 22 and I hate how wide/large and rounded/fat my jaw looks. I want a sharper definition and slimmer, V-shaped jaw. I was considering getting a V-line surgery, but I’m not sure it’s the right procedure. I’ve heard that getting it at a young age can cause eventual sagging and you can end up needing a face lift because of jowls and I don’t want that. Some people have suggested masseter botox or buccal fat removal, but I think the problem is my bone since my mom has the exact same face shape.

It is very likely that liposuction of neck and jawline and master muscle reduction with Botox would create desired improvement. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is recommended. Good luck.
