What is non-surgical V-line contouring?
The V-line describes a lower face that narrows gently from the cheekbones to a defined chin. Surgical approaches reshape bone, whereas non-surgical V-line contouring works with muscle, volume and skin to create a similar impression more subtly and with far less downtime.
At Live Young Clinic in Apgujeong, Gangnam, the goal is not to give everyone the same sharp triangle. Dr. Song aims for a tapered shape that harmonizes with your cheekbones, nose and profile, so the result looks like a refined version of your own face.
Who is it suitable for?
People who come to us for V-line contouring often feel their face looks square, wide at the jaw, or short in the chin, or that their jawline has become less defined. The underlying reason differs from person to person, which determines the treatment mix. Suitability is confirmed only after assessment.
- Prominent masseter muscles from clenching or chewing
- Short or recessed chin
- Soft or uneven jawline
- Mild laxity blurring the lower face
How Dr. Song designs your V-line
In Needs Mapping, Dr. Song feels the masseter as you clench, studies your profile, and reads the face at rest and when smiling. Bone structure and skin thickness are both considered, since they influence how filler will sit and how lifting will behave.
The Curated Plan may include jaw Botox to slim the muscle, chin filler to add length or projection, jawline filler to sharpen the edge, and LinearZ or Ultherapy Prime to tighten soft tissue. During Tailored Treatment, the doctor places every unit and injection herself, keeping amounts conservative to protect a natural look.
Recovery and aftercare
Filler changes are visible right away, though mild swelling or bruising can occur and usually settles over several days. Jaw Botox works gradually; slimming typically becomes noticeable over the following weeks as the muscle relaxes. Lifting improves progressively as collagen renews. Results vary between people.
Avoid pressing or massaging treated areas for a short while, limit saunas, heavy workouts and alcohol briefly, and protect your skin from the sun. The doctor will give specific instructions for your combination before you leave the Apgujeong clinic, and you are welcome to message with questions during recovery.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get a V-line face without surgery?
Non-surgical methods can create a noticeably slimmer, more tapered impression for many people, especially when the width comes from muscle or the chin lacks projection. Bone-level changes need surgery. Dr. Song will explain what is achievable for your face.
How long before jaw Botox slims my face?
Jaw Botox relaxes the masseter gradually, so slimming usually becomes visible over several weeks rather than immediately. The pace and degree vary by person, muscle strength and habits such as clenching, and the doctor will explain what to expect.
Will chin filler look unnatural?
When planned to suit your profile and placed conservatively, chin filler can look very natural. Dr. Song considers your nose, lips and facial proportions so the chin balances the whole face.
Can I do V-line contouring during a short trip?
Often, yes. Filler and Botox can usually be done in one visit, with limited downtime. Mention your travel dates so the doctor can plan timing and advise on aftercare for flying.
Is V-line contouring suitable for men?
Yes, although goals often differ. Many men prefer a defined but strong jaw rather than a narrow V shape, so the plan may focus more on jawline definition than slimming. It is always tailored to your features and preferences.
