V Shape Face Treatment
Sharpen Jawline, Define Chin
Overall, a V shape treatment is a non-surgical way to slim the lower face, sharpen the jawline and define the chin. First, doctors choose between HIFU, chin filler, masseter botox and thread lifts, depending on what causes the wider lower face. Many people also combine two treatments.
Therefore, at CLEO Clinic, a consultation always comes first, so the plan fits your face. Book a consultation at Kuala Lumpur, Subang Jaya, Kepong or Cheras.
A V-shaped face has a slim jaw that narrows to a defined chin. However, several factors shape the lower face, including fat in the cheeks and under the chin, water retention, loss of skin firmness with age, overdeveloped chewing muscles, and genetics and bone structure.
Because the cause differs, the treatment differs too. Therefore, the first step is to identify what is widening your lower face, not to pick a treatment by name. Importantly, a V shape is a personal preference instead of a medical goal, so we plan around your own features.
It may suit you if you have a wide or square jaw, stubborn fat under the chin, or lower-face sagging with age. It also suits people who want a more defined chin without surgery. For example, if under-chin fat is your main concern, our guide to double chin causes and treatment is a good starting point
HIFU suits mild to moderate laxity. First, it sends focused ultrasound energy into the deeper skin layers, and as a result, it prompts the body to build new collagen. Our HIFU facelift page explains the treatment in full. In addition, our post on Ultherapy vs HIFU compares two ultrasound options.
A weak or recessed chin often needs structure rather than tightening. For this reason, hyaluronic acid filler adds that structure, and the effect is immediate. Moreover, it is usually reversible. Read more on our dermal fillers in KL page.
For example, an overdeveloped chewing muscle can make the jaw look square. In that case, botulinum toxin relaxes the muscle, so the jaw softens over several weeks.
However, it needs more units than upper-face botox, and the effect is temporary. In many countries, masseter reduction is an off-label use, so your doctor will explain this and the risks first.
Our wrinkle and fine lines treatments page covers botox in general, while our guide to botox side effects and safety explains the risks.
In addition, dissolvable threads reposition loose tissue along the jawline. Because of this, they suit some sagging and give a quicker lift. See our face thread lifts page for details.
If a pocket of fat sits under the chin, fat reduction may help. In this case, read about fat freezing and cryolipolysis.
However, results vary, and a doctor must confirm the plan.
Overall, costs depend on the treatment, the areas and the number of sessions. Specifically, at CLEO Clinic, starting prices are about RM1,500 per session for botox jaw slimming, from RM2,500 per session for HIFU, and RM1,500 to RM2,400 per syringe for chin fillers. However, your doctor quotes the exact amount after assessment. Because of this, also ask for an itemised written quote before you decide. For botox pricing in detail, read our botox price guide.
The consultation is free. First, the doctor assesses your facial structure, skin laxity and goals. Then they explain which options suit you.
Treatment usually takes 20 to 60 minutes. Meanwhile, you may feel warmth, tingling or pressure, depending on the treatment. Also, numbing cream is available.
Follow your doctor's instructions during the first 24 to 48 hours. Then the checklist below covers the common points.
Overall, results depend on the treatment. For instance, HIFU results build over two to three months, and they often last about a year or longer. Botox shows its change within one to two weeks, and it usually lasts about three to six months. Similarly, fillers last several months to over a year, depending on the product and area. Finally, thread lifts show some change within weeks, with full results at two to three months.
Nevertheless, none of these options is permanent. Therefore, maintenance sessions may help. Meanwhile, a consensus paper on microfocused ultrasound discusses the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound lifting, and Cleveland Clinic explains how HIFU works.
Recovery varies between individuals. Therefore, contact the clinic if you have concerns after treatment.
These treatments may not suit people who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or who have an active skin infection in the treatment area. They may also not suit people with metal implants in the treatment zone, or with a neuromuscular or autoimmune condition.
However, all treatments carry some risk. For example, for botox, the FDA’s Botox Cosmetic Q&A lists approved uses and warning signs. In addition, skin tone and healing differ between people, so your doctor assesses your skin first.
Jawline and chin work can sometimes need a broader plan. For instance, our guide to jawline contouring explains how doctors balance the whole lower face. Instead, if you mainly want tighter skin, our roundup of the 10 best skin tightening treatments in Malaysia compares the options.
At CLEO Clinic, we match the treatment to the cause instead of applying one treatment to everyone. Furthermore, we may add RF microneedling, which uses radiofrequency energy through tiny needles to stimulate deeper collagen. Our RF microneedling page explains how it works.
