„V lift“ – Contouring of the lower part of the face
A "V lift" is a non-surgical procedure that flattens and sculpts the lower face into a youthful oval shape. By tightening the lower jawline and slightly accentuating the chin, the face takes on a younger and more attractive appearance.

What determines the shape of the face
One of the aspects of beauty that can be easily recognized is the shape of the face, by which we perceive age, gender and attractiveness. The shape of our face is largely determined by genetics and bone structure. The ideal shape is perceived as slightly oval with firm contours. This V-shaped face creates a feminine and youthful appearance.
What causes facial laxity
Genetics, lifestyle and facial expressions all contribute to how the face changes over time. Aging is associated with loss of skin elasticity and collagen loss, which results in sagging skin. Loss of volume and the shifting down of fat pads are common and change the shape and expression of the entire face. In the lower part of the face, the contours of the jaw loosen and the chin fits in slightly. A firm chin and a straight line of the lower jawline with a defined posterior angle that clearly separates the neck visually are landmarks for beauty and youthfulness.
What is „V Lift“
The "V lift" is a procedure that contours - straightens and sculpts the lower jaw and chin area using a thread lift method and dermal fillers. The resulting effect tightens the lower part of the face, restores elasticity to the skin and gives the face a youthful appearance.
Who is a suitable candidate for "V lift"
The procedure is suitable for those whose skin begins to sag, the lower jaw loosens and ceases to be sharp. At the same time, the chin fits slightly and the facial profile changes.
The procedure is also suitable for younger clients whose chin is shortened and the angle of the lower jaw is not pronounced. The lengthening makes the face more feminine and attractive both from the front and in profile.
What is the result of „V lift“
- Restores oval face shape
- Fills the contour of the lower jaw
- Picks up and strengthens a sunken or small chin
- Corrects the angle of the lower jaw and lengthens it
Procedure of „V lift“
The final effect is created by combining 2 interventions. In some cases, we can achieve the desired result with only one of these interventions.
Thread lifting
Threads with lifting effect are inserted under the skin along the jawline towards the chin. They are applied only under local anaesthesia. Immediately after application, the lower jaw is sculpted and tightened. By connecting the threads with the actual connective tissue, the resulting effect is stabilised. At the same time, the application of the threads helps to create a collagen skeleton in the surrounding area and further support the procedure.
Fillers
Volumetric fillers with heavily cross-linked hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite are used to lift and firm the chin, as well as to sculpt the posterior angle of the lower jaw. The filler is used to slightly lift or lengthen the chin, even out the dips on the sides of the chin and correct the angle of the lower jaw. At the same time, the elasticity of the skin is increased due to their strong moisturizing effect. The procedure is performed with a cannula or needle deeper in the subcutaneous tissue.

What are you asking?
What is the course of healing?
- Therefore, an elastic bandage on the face is required for 14 days at night after the threads are inserted.
- During the first few days it is necessary to limit facial expressions, do not strain the chewing muscles - do not eat solid food.
- For the next 3 days after the procedure, it is advisable to sleep in an elevated position to reduce pressure on the sites where the sutures were inserted.
- Cleaning the face very carefully, applying cream or make-up very gently.
- More intensive exercise or running is recommended one month after the procedure.
How long will the result last?
The result is visible immediately after the procedure, but may be accompanied by swelling and beginning bruising. It is still slightly improved over a period of months by the formation of collagen adhesions in the subcutaneous tissue, which help to hold the threads in position. Depending on the quality of the skin, age and condition before the procedure, the effect lasts 1-2 years. Procedures can also be repeated individually by supporting the alignment of the contours with threads or fillers only by turning off the chin.
Can the intervention create an attractive profile
If the lower jaw is shortened but not sagging, we can lengthen it with a volumetric filler with hyaluronic acid. By slightly increasing the volume of the chin and contouring the posterior angle of the lower jaw, the entire area is contoured. This creates a contoured profile and improves overall facial proportions.
