V-Shaped Face

How to Achieve a V-Shaped Face

A V-shaped face is often linked with youthfulness and refinement. However, genetics, ageing, and lifestyle factors can blur this natural contour over time. While hydration and good sleep support skin health, they may not be enough to counteract the effects of time, which can result in sagging skin, jowling, or a softened jawline. 

Facial sculpting tailored to your unique features can help enhance a V-shaped facial contour. Approaches such as MPT Skin Tightening, dermal fillers and BTX-A can help achieve a V-shaped facial lift by slimming and contouring superficial fat. These procedures are performed with the goal of maintaining natural proportions, allowing individuals to return to their daily lives as soon after.

What is the Definition of a V-Shaped Face?

A V-shaped face refers to a contour where the jawline narrows smoothly from the cheeks to a slender, pointed chin. This look is admired for its symmetry and balance, often associated with youthfulness and refinement.

What Affects a V-Shaped Face?

Understanding what influences your face shape is the first step to knowing how a V-shaped face can be achieved or maintained, whether through health routines or aesthetic treatments.

Genetic factors can determine jaw width, chin length, and facial bone proportions.

Facial muscles may play a role in definition. Overactivity of certain muscles, such as those used in chewing, may lead to a more square-looking jawline.

As the skin loses collagen and elasticity, sagging can occur, leading to less defined facial contours.

Accumulation of subcutaneous fat under the chin or around the lower face can obscure jawline sharpness.

Significant weight gain or loss can influence facial fat distribution, either concealing or exaggerating the V-shaped facial contour.

High salt intake can cause water retention, making the face appear puffy. Similarly, high sugar or processed foods may affect skin health.

Consistent hydration supports circulation and nutrient delivery to the skin, helping it look plumper and healthier.

Poor posture such as slouching or forward head tilt from long hours on digital devices can weaken neck muscles, encourage skin laxity, and reduce definition around the jaw over time.

UV exposure accelerates skin ageing, leading to sagging. Proper skin care and protection can help preserve firmness.

Can a V-Shaped Face Be Achieved Naturally?

Some changes in lifestyle such as practising good posture and eating a healthy diet may improve facial contours gradually. These factors can also contribute to a more radiant, healthier look, but are unlikely to create or preserve a V-shaped jawline on their own. For individuals considering aesthetic options, non-surgical treatments may help enhance facial definition when deemed suitable by a qualified medical professional.

Who is a V-Shaped Face Treatment For?

Non-surgical facial contouring options may be suitable for individuals who wish to enhance facial definition or balance overall proportions. These treatments can be considered by those who:

  • Prefer subtle, non-surgical aesthetic procedures.
  • Have concerns about jawline fullness or lower-face contour.
  • Wish to support a firmer, more defined appearance through medically supervised care.

How Do V-Shaped Face Treatments Work?

V-shaped face treatments aim to address the key factors that shape the lower face, such as reducing excess fat under the chin, relaxing enlarged jaw muscles for a slimmer appearance, tightening skin to combat sagging, and using fillers to contour and define the chin and jawline. Each method targets different anatomical features, coming together to refine the overall facial silhouette.

Our Recommended V-Shaped Face Treatments

MPT Skin Tightening

Ultraformer MPT (Micro Pulse Technology) uses HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) to stimulate collagen synthesis and tissue remodeling without damaging the surface target skin, which can help tighten skin, hence lifting and contouring the face into a sharper shape.

A consultation evaluates skin laxity and overall suitability for the Ultraformer MPT Treatment. Patients should avoid sunburn or active skin irritation before treatment. A numbing cream may be applied for added comfort.

Ultrasound energy is delivered through a handheld device, creating controlled heat points under the skin. Patients may feel a tingling or prickling sensation as collagen is stimulated.

The medical team will advise on the number of sessions, depending on your skin type, concerns and treatment approach.

Downtime after treatment is generally minimal, though some temporary redness or mild tenderness may occur. Any visible changes tend to develop gradually as the skin responds over time. Your clinical team will discuss the recommended number of sessions and provide aftercare guidance based on your individual needs.

Most individuals tolerate treatment well, though mild side effects can occur. These may include temporary redness, slight swelling, tenderness, or mild sensitivity at the treated area.

Our medical team will advise on the aftercare. Generally, individuals are advised to avoid hot baths, intense exercise, and direct sun exposure for a time. A gentle skincare routine and sun protection help prolong the rejuvenating effects.

Oligio RF Skin Tightening

Ultraformer MPT (Micro Pulse Technology) uses HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) to stimulate collagen synthesis and tissue remodeling without damaging the surface target skin, which can help tighten skin, hence lifting and contouring the face into a sharper shape.

A consultation with our clinical team is carried out to assess skin laxity, treatment goals, and overall suitability. The skin should be free from active irritation or sunburn prior to treatment. As Oligio incorporates built-in comfort features, numbing cream is usually not required, though this may be discussed based on individual sensitivity.

Oligio uses monopolar radiofrequency energy delivered through a specialised handheld applicator. The energy gently heats the deeper layers of the skin in a controlled manner, supporting collagen contraction and stimulation. During treatment, individuals may experience a warm sensation, along with mild vibration and cooling designed to enhance comfort.

Treatment duration and the recommended number of sessions vary depending on skin condition, degree of laxity, and individual goals. Our clinical team will advise on a personalised treatment plan during consultation.

Downtime after Oligio treatment is minimal. Some individuals may notice temporary redness or warmth in the treated area, which typically settles within a short period. Skin firmness may feel improved shortly after treatment, with gradual improvements developing over the following weeks as collagen regeneration continues. Results vary between individuals, and maintenance sessions may be recommended based on skin response and lifestyle factors.

Oligio is generally well tolerated. Mild and temporary effects may include redness, warmth, slight swelling, or skin sensitivity in the treated area. These effects usually resolve on their own within a short time.

Post-treatment care is usually straightforward. Individuals are generally advised to limit exposure to intense heat, such as saunas or hot baths, and strenuous exercise for a short period after treatment. A gentle skincare routine and consistent sun protection are recommended to support skin recovery and maintain results. Your clinical team will provide personalised aftercare advice based on your skin needs.

TruGlow 5 Point Lift

Injectable Dermal Fillers
Injectable dermal fillers, such as Hyaluronic Acid is commonly used to sculpt and enhance the chin and jawline.

Before the procedure, the clinical team will conduct a consultation to assess facial structure, review your medical history, and discuss treatment goals. A numbing cream may be applied for comfort.

The filler is administered into targeted areas of the chin or jawline using fine needles. Some individuals may feel mild pressure or a pinching sensation, which usually subsides shortly after treatment.

Depending on your skin type and concerns, the medical team will advise on the number and duration of sessions.

Recovery experiences vary. Some individuals may notice gradual improvements in facial definition as swelling settles.

Common side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, or mild bruising at the injection site.

Our medical team will give specific aftercare instructions based on your skin type and treatment plan. It’s generally advisable to avoid strenuous activity, hot environments, and alcohol for a short period after treatment.

Jaw Slimming BTX-A

BTX-A (Botulinum Toxin A), widely known as Botox, relaxes overactive masseter muscles at the jaw. This can potentially soften a broad or square jawline by reducing muscle contractions.

The clinical team will map the masseter muscle area and review your medical history. No special preparation is needed. If you are taking blood-thinning supplements or medication, please inform our clinical team before treatment so they can advise you appropriately.

Tiny injections are delivered directly into the masseter muscles to relax them. The procedure is usually quick, and most individuals describe the sensation as mild or tolerable.

The effects of BTX-A can become visible gradually, depending on skin condition and treatment plan. The medical team will advise as to recommended treatments and duration.

Downtime is generally minimal. Some individuals may notice gradual softening in treated areas as the muscles respond over time.

Mild bruising, redness, swelling, or tenderness may occur at the injection site. These effects are usually temporary and subside within a few days. You should contact our clinical team if any unexpected reactions develop.

Our medical team will share aftercare recommendations based on your treatment plan. In general, it’s best to avoid excessive pressure on the treated area and follow the our specific advice for optimal comfort and recovery.

The V-Shaped Face Treatment Procedure at TruGlow Medical Aesthetics

After a consultation with the medical team, we design a plan with a combination of treatments as needed to be suited for your face. This process ensures that our treatments can help you potentially achieve a V-shaped face that looks natural, harmonious, and suited to you.

Individuals undergo an assessment where facial proportions, goals, and medical history are reviewed. The consultation ensures suitability and discusses realistic expectations.

Depending on the selected approach, the duration of each session varies based on the method used and the areas addressed.

After treatment, your clinical team will share aftercare instructions. In general, you may be advised to:

  • Avoid strenuous activity and high heat exposure for 24–48 hours.
  • Keep skin hydrated and use gentle care products.
  • Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen diligently.
  • Avoid heavy makeup for 24–48 hours.
  • Do not pick or scratch treated areas.
  • Avoid exfoliation for one week.
  • Follow personalised aftercare instructions.

When is the Ideal Time for V-shaped Face Treatments?

The right time to begin a V-shaped face treatment depends on your goals, lifestyle, and the type of procedure chosen. A consultation is the best way to map out a treatment plan that aligns with both your schedule and your long-term aesthetic goals.

Frequently Asked Questions About V-Shaped Face Treatments

A consultation is essential because no two faces are the same. The clinical team will evaluate your unique bone structure, skin elasticity, and proportions before recommending a suitable V-shaped face treatment plan.

Yes, many patients achieve the best results by combining treatments. Treatment plans can be customised to incorporate multiple procedures to help achieve a V-shaped facial lift.
The timeline for visible changes varies depending on the treatment type and individual response. Some procedures may show gradual improvement over time, while others may require multiple sessions for optimal results. Your clinical team can advise on what to expect based on your treatment plan.
The duration of visible effects varies depending on the type of treatment, product used, and individual factors such as skin condition and lifestyle. Your medical team will explain what to expect and recommend follow-up sessions where appropriate.
Facial sculpting using injectable fillers and collagen-stimulating treatments may help improve overall facial definition and support skin firmness. These procedures aim to address common age-related changes such as loss of volume or elasticity, helping maintain a balanced and youthful appearance over time.
Yes, hydration and good sleep support overall skin health. Drinking enough water improves elasticity, while quality sleep reduces puffiness that can obscure a tapered chin and V-shaped jawline. However, lifestyle habits alone are rarely enough to counter genetics, ageing, or sagging.

While recovery times are generally minimal, we advise a consultation with the medical team to provide the best advice on your unique skin condition.

Facial slimming procedures target different layers of the lower face, and may be combined for a complete V-shape facial rejuvenation plan that can help adults refine their contours without the need for surgery.
The longevity of dermal fillers varies depending on factors such as the type of filler used, treatment area, and individual metabolism.
Non-surgical jawline enhancements may provide subtle, natural refinements with minimal downtime. In contrast, surgical procedures such as chin implants or jawline surgery deliver permanent structural change but require longer recovery and carry higher risks.
Yes, V-shaped face slimming treatments are administered to relax the jaw without affecting function.
