Invisible V-Line Without Worries About Facial Contouring Pin Removal, Completing a Natural Chin Tip
Have you hesitated to undergo facial contouring surgery to resolve an angular square jaw and blunt chin tip due to a reluctance toward fixation pins? We provide a detailed guide on the features and surgical methods of the 'Invisible V-Line,' which completes a smooth V-line without metal pin fixation, along with a safety system backed by 26 years of clinical know-how.
Facial Contouring Pin Removal: Why Do So Many People Worry About It?
Many people consider facial contouring surgery to improve an angular square jaw and a blunt chin tip that give a strong impression. However, one of the main reasons for hesitating to undergo surgery is the 'fixation pin.' This is due to the reluctance of having metal substances left in the body or the burden of having to undergo a secondary surgery for facial contouring pin removal in the future.
345 Plastic Surgery's 'Invisible V-Line' is a surgical method designed by listening to these concerns. It can complete a slender facial line without separate pin fixation, making it a suitable alternative for those who are sensitive to surgical traces or do not want additional surgeries.
Differences Between the Invisible V-Line and General Square Jaw Surgery
Usually, when narrowing the width or adjusting the length of the front chin, a T-osteotomy or inverted V-osteotomy is performed, and metal pins are used to fix the fractured bones. However, if a major movement of the front chin is not required, there is no need to completely cut the bone and fix it with pins.
The Invisible V-Line is a method that has evolved one step further from long-curve square jaw reduction. By performing a long osteotomy from the angle below the ear to the front chin, you can expect a simultaneous reduction effect from both the front and the side. It also prevents secondary angles where the bone boundary feels like a step, creating a smooth line.
3 Key Points of the Invisible V-Line
To achieve high-quality results without fixation pins, the following precise processes are carried out.
- 01. Long-Curve Square Jaw Resection: A long resection in a gentle curve shape creates a natural jawline from any angle.
- 02. Soft Tissue Optimization: In addition to the bone, cortical bone resection and masseter (chewing muscle) reduction are performed as needed to enhance the frontal effect.
- 03. Front Chin Contouring: The overall width and length of the front chin are carefully refined to finish with a slim V-line without the need for separate fixation pins.
We Recommend the Invisible V-Line to the Following People:
- Those who are reluctant to have metal fixation pins inserted into their bodies.
- Those who do not want surgical traces to be visible on X-rays or CT scans.
- Those who feel burdened by the cost and time of additional surgery for facial contouring pin removal.
- Those who want to create a smooth impression by refining the square jaw and front chin at once.
- Cases where excessive osteotomy is difficult due to a low nerve line position.
Safety System for Reliable Surgery
As facial contouring is a highly difficult surgery that deals with bones, the proficiency of the medical staff is paramount. Chief Surgeon Dr. Park Jong-lim, who has over 26 years of clinical know-how, provides personalized, customized designs based on his experience of performing over 10,000 surgeries.
In addition, for the patient's peace of mind, we operate a 'Doctor Call System' where the operating surgeon directly checks the progress the day after surgery. We are also equipped with an emergency power system and always have Dantrolene on hand in case of emergencies. Since resected bone cannot be reversed, a careful choice is the beginning of a good recovery.
