V-Line Surgery

Small, yet profound change.

With even greater precision for this small area,

we create a refined, elegant chin through the advanced aesthetics of chin-tip surgery.

Seoul Face 21 Signature Mini V-Line

For V-line surgery, the key to successful results is “precise customization tailored to the face.”

-

In cases of a receding chin, a flat chin tip, an asymmetrical chin, or an excessively long or short chin, the overall facial impression may appear indistinct and plain.

In such cases, rather than simple resection or pushing techniques, a “designed surgery” that considers facial structure and harmony is needed.

At Seoul Face 21, we apply our proprietary seagull-curve osteotomy to create a three-dimensional, voluminous V-line chin.

Because conventional chin advancement surgery has limited advancement, most patients are unable to achieve satisfying results.

Seoul Face 21 uses a proprietary technique that advances the chin as far as possible while maintaining bone contact, enabling favorable surgical outcomes even in difficult cases of severe chin retrusion.

Seagull Chin Advancement

This technique can achieve greater advancement than conventional procedures and creates natural, three-dimensional results through a design that preserves chin-tip volume and curvature.

Two-Step Seagull Chin Advancement

The chin tip is advanced as much as possible within the range that allows bone contact, while a curvature-preserving design completes a three-dimensional facial contour.

Can a severe receding chin be corrected?

- At Seoul Face 21, it can.

Limitations of Conventional Chin Advancement

1. Advancement may be limited when the bone is thin at the osteotomy line.

2. A step deformity may occur in the mandibular body during advancement.

3. When the osteotomized bone segment is small and advancement exceeds 4 mm, volume deficiency may occur below the corners of the mouth.

4. The groove between the lower lip and chin tip may deepen.

Seoul Face 21 Two-Step Seagull Chin Advancement

Securely fixed and smoothly contoured without secondary angles

1. Osteotomy-line design that preserves mandibular body volume

2. A design that minimizes step deformity during advancement, accompanied by bone grafting to minimize soft-tissue depression while shaving without compromising volume

3. Minimizes injury to the sensory nerves of the lower jaw and teeth by considering anatomical structures

4. Two-step advancement considering overall facial balance; maximum advancement is possible even when the bone is thin

5. Fixation that minimizes micro-movement of the bone segment (minimizing bone resorption)

6. Appropriate repositioning of the periosteum and muscles in consideration of postoperative soft-tissue contours

Why should you choose Seoul Face 21 for V-line surgery?

#01 Performed by an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Specialist

Intraoral incision surgery falls within the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Jaw surgery is not simply a procedure of cutting and fixing bone. It requires precise handling of complex intraoral structures, including the temporomandibular joint, nerves, blood vessels, mucosa, teeth, and gums—an area of expertise for oral and maxillofacial surgery specialists.

At Seoul Face 21, oral and maxillofacial surgery specialists perform procedures based on a deep understanding of intraoral anatomy, minimizing postoperative complications such as malocclusion, nerve injury, gingival recession, and scarring.

#02 Sincere One-on-One Personalized Care

Seoul Face 21 listens to patients first.

Seoul Face 21 performs a subnasal osteotomy that preserves the position of the nasal bones, maintaining the preoperative structure while also osteotomizing the inner nasal bones to prevent deviation of the septal cartilage.

In addition, double suturing with proven absorbable sutures minimizes nostril widening.

#03 Stable Results Through Exceptional Expertise

Our chief director’s precise know-how and technical expertise deliver stable surgical results.

Seoul Face 21 combines precise technical skills with the chief director’s exceptional surgical expertise to deliver more refined and stable procedures.

Based on the chief director’s extensive clinical experience at Seoul National University Dental Hospital and Chung-Ang University Hospital Dentistry, as well as a deep understanding of facial bone structures, we carefully develop surgical plans that satisfy both function and aesthetics.

Special Postoperative Care Program to Reduce Swelling and Support Faster Recovery

01 Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for optimal surgical condition

02 Swelling-reduction laser to support rapid postoperative recovery from swelling

03 Intravenous fluid therapy to promote rapid recovery

Seoul Face 21’s Safe Surgery System, with Patient Safety as Our Top Priority

One-on-One Specialist Accountability Care System

A dedicated specialist is assigned to each patient and takes responsibility for the entire process, from consultation and treatment planning to surgery and postoperative care.

This enables an accurate understanding and reflection of each individual’s condition and needs, supporting safer and more satisfying results.

Preoperative Internal Medicine Collaborative Care System

Before surgery, we thoroughly assess a range of factors, including not only routine blood tests but also electrocardiography, chest X-rays, urinalysis, and oxygen saturation testing.

Through collaboration with an internal medicine specialist, health risks are identified and addressed in advance to enhance surgical safety.

Anesthesiology Specialist Collaborative Care System

An anesthesiology specialist directly manages maintenance of anesthesia, airway security, and monitoring of cardiovascular responses during surgery, supporting stable anesthesia and surgery.

Real-Time Patient Condition Monitoring

For a designated period immediately after surgery, a centralized patient monitoring system tracks vital signs—including blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and heart rate—to detect abnormal signs early and respond promptly.

Sterile Air-Handling Systems in All Operating Rooms

All operating rooms are equipped with high-performance sterile air-handling systems that block airborne bacteria and dust, providing a clean surgical environment designed to minimize infection risk.

Meticulous hygiene management, down to the smallest details, enables safer surgery.

Comprehensive Emergency Response System

Our chief director, certified in Basic Life Support and Advanced Cardiac Life Support, responds promptly in the event of an emergency.

We are fully equipped with systems and equipment for immediate emergency response, including an automated external defibrillator (AED) and emergency airway management equipment.
