Can I get a V-line surgery and genioplasty to make my face longer and chin more pointed?

Genuine943696Mar 12, 2023
I am looking to make my face look more proportionate V-line shaped (pointed chin and less fat when I smile). I like the idea of the V-line surgery but since my face looks small, I need a little bit of length. My jaw slightly curves upward closer to my chin so I think I would need a vertical genioplasty with a v-line to make my chin more pointed / jawline more straight. Don't want fillers or bucal fat removal, temp fix. I also plan to fix my nose prior (this year) and get a face lift later.

It definitely makes it more difficult, but, we do this after correction of the bite quite frequently.

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.

The photographs demonstrate a dorsal hump on your nose and a recessive chin profile. Consider placement of a chin implant to augment the chin forward for better facial balance and proportions. A closed rhinoplasty approach can accomplish shaving down the dorsal hump, narrowing the bridge line...
