Hello I want to know if its possible to do v line surgery before my underbite jaw surgery? Or will it make my corrective jaw surgery more difficult ? And if yes, can you do v line surgery after?

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.

You have made a good self assessment. I think that V line surgery to diminish the width of the angle of your mandible, a reduction rhinoplasty and buccal fat pad reduction will help provide a thinner appearance to your face.
