What Is V-Line Muscle Suspension?

Soft tissue descent can weigh down a lower face at any weight.

The procedure targets soft tissue descent that can contribute to a heavier lower face, even in patients who maintain a healthy body weight. By supporting deeper facial structures, it is intended to create a more refined V-line while preserving natural facial movement — which is why it is planned as structural repositioning rather than simple fat removal.

About Your Surgeon

Dr. Son Hee-dong,

surgeon.

Patients tell me they lost weight and their face stayed heavy.

That is usually the clue: what descended was tissue, and tissue has to be supported — not dieted away.

Frequently Asked

V-Line Suspension in Busan
questions.

What is V-Line Muscle Suspension?

It is a lower-face contouring procedure designed to improve jawline definition by addressing sagging soft tissue and underlying muscle support, restoring a slimmer, more defined contour through structural tissue repositioning.

How is it different from fat reduction alone?

Rather than focusing only on fat reduction, this procedure targets soft tissue descent that can contribute to a heavier lower face — even in patients who maintain a healthy body weight — by supporting deeper facial structures.

Who is a suitable candidate?

Candidates may include individuals with a heavy or sagging lower face, loss of jawline definition, a feeling that dieting has not improved facial contours, a wish for a more defined V-line without extensive facial bone surgery, and an interest in a personalized approach.

How long is recovery?

Recovery depends on the extent of treatment and individual healing. Temporary swelling, bruising, and tightness are expected during early recovery, with customized postoperative instructions and scheduled follow-up care.

Can it be combined with other facial contouring procedures?

Combined approaches are considered depending on your customized facial analysis and goals. Whether a combination is appropriate is determined during consultation.

Why has dieting not improved my jawline?

A heavier lower face can result from soft tissue descent rather than excess fat, which is why weight loss may not change the contour. This is one of the reasons patients consider muscle suspension.

Will my facial movement be affected?

The procedure is intended to create a more refined V-line while preserving natural facial movement. Individual results vary with anatomy and healing.

Is this the same as facial bone surgery?

No. This procedure addresses soft tissue and muscle support and may suit patients who want a more defined V-line without extensive facial bone surgery. Whether it suits you depends on what is causing your lower facial heaviness.

Will there be visible scars?

Small, carefully concealed incisions are used when appropriate. Any incision results in a scar, and placement should be explained by your surgeon before surgery.

Considering V-Line Contouring in Busan?

Start with a
customized facial analysis.

Lower facial heaviness can come from soft tissue descent, fat, or bone structure. A consultation identifies which — and whether structural muscle suspension is the right way to define your jawline.
