How Can I Reverse My V Line Surgery?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I have V line surgery done on S.Korea last year. They really didn’t You can see that my chin and jawline was pushed back and cut off in these pictures, I’m trying to restore my jawline and chin to how it was before only straighter if possible.

So I think the only way to restore my jawline and chin is a custom implant.

My chin was pushed back and now looks recessed so it might be able to be moved forward again I’m not sure how much. 

A:Thank you for your inquiry and sending your pictures. Your story is an all too familiar one as some S Korean surgeons really don’t listen to what the patient wants…they just do what they want. They are great technicians just not very patient centric in their approach to aesthetic surgery.

You are correct in that V line reversal is done with a custom jawline implant (aka wrap around chin-jaws implant) whose design can be based on the before and after 3D CT scans if they are available or a best guess approach to what was removed looking at your before and after pictures with a current 3D CT scan.
