Is VLine surgery invasive and dangerous?

Question

I know this is popular in South Korea but how invasive is this surgery and what complications can there be?

Michael P. Morrissette, DDS, FACS · Answer

VLine surgery is safe and can sometimes be invasive depending on many factors. The simplest method to slim the jaw is by shaving the mandibular angles. In some cases, cutting guides are needed and this is more invasive. The procedure to slim the chin is called a genioplasty. It involves cutting the chin. Both these procedures can be accomplished in the office with sedation anesthesia.

This is also popular in my office where we do this each week.  There are always potential complications, but, in general this is a very safe procedure.  Swelling afterwards is the main thing we see. Watch our videos to learn more.
