What Are V-Line Injections?

• Non-surgical injectable treatments aimed at creating a more tapered, V-shaped jawline by targeting lower-face fat, under-chin fullness and/or masseter muscle bulk.
• Methods include:
• Fat-dissolving injections (e.g., deoxycholic acid) for removing localized fat under the chin/jawline.
• Muscle-relaxing injections (e.g., masseter botulinum toxin) in the jaw muscles to reduce width/slimming effect.
• Optional fillers or contouring to enhance chin projection or further refine the V-shape.

📋 Treatment Menu Snapshot

StepDetail ConsultationAssessment of your jawline, chin/neck fat, masseter muscle size and facial proportions. Injection Session- Fat-dissolving injections under chin/jawline (30 mins typical) 
- Masseter botox if needed for jaw slimming 
- Optional chin filler for projection/contour

Aftercare Minimal downtime; some swelling or firmness may occur for 1-2 days. Many resume regular activity quickly.

Results & MaintenanceVisible improvement over 2-4 weeks (especially for fat dissolvers) and more defined V-line over following months. Maintenance may be required depending on muscle/fat dynamics.

💵 Indicative Cost Range in Gangnam

• Fat-dissolving injections (per area / chin-jaw): ~ ₩150,000 - ₩400,000 KRW (~US$110-300) depending on clinic / area.
• Masseter botox (jaw slimming): ~ ₩80,000 - ₩200,000 KRW (~US$60-150) in many Gangnam clinics.
• Combined package (fat dissolver + botox + optional chin filler) may increase cost but produce more comprehensive V-line effect.

🎯 Who Is It Right For?

✅ Good candidate if you:

• Have a fuller lower-face/jawline or under-chin fat you wish to reduce non-surgically.
• Want a more defined jaw-chin contour (V-line) without undergoing invasive surgery.
• Are able to wait a few weeks for the full effect and understand some maintenance may be needed.

⚠️ Consider caution if you:

• Require major skeletal narrowing or bone reduction of the jaw — that may need surgery instead.
• Expect instant dramatic change like surgical contouring — injections produce more moderate improvement.
• Have underlying health issues or significant skin laxity around the chin/jawline that may hamper results.

📝 What to Ask at Your Consultation

• Which fat-dissolving product will you use (brand, ingredient, approval status)?
• How many injection points / sessions will be required for my jawline?
• Will jaw-slimming botox be needed for my masseter muscle — if yes, how much and what interval?
• Are fillers part of the plan or necessary?
• What is the expected downtime / aftercare? What limitations are there post-treatment?
• Before/after photos of similar cases.
• Full cost breakdown including follow-ups or maintenance sessions.
• For international patients: Is there English support, coordination of visits, follow-up care for travel?
