V-line Mandibuloplasty is a popular cosmetic surgery that aims to reduce the width of the jawline. This facial contouring procedure removes some part of the mandible (jaw bone) so that it will heal to a more pointed shape that resembles the letter V.

Because certain cross-cultural beliefs associate beauty with having a more angular and pointed face, many of those who undergo this type of surgery perceive themselves as women and therefore want to achieve more feminine facial features.

Ideal candidates for this type of surgery should possess good overall health with an active lifestyle. They should be non-smokers with no history of auto-immune and bleeding disorders. Moreover, ideal candidates should have a clear understanding and realistic expectations regarding this procedure.
