V-Line Face Contouring Korean Jawline Slimming at RE:BERRY Gangnam Seoul
The V-line face shape was born in Korea, and Gangnam is where the world comes to get it. RE:BERRY Gangnam achieves the coveted Korean V-line using a physician-designed combination of masseter Botox (₩29,000/50U), chin fillers, and energy-based lifting devices — sculpting a slimmer jaw and sharper chin without surgery, scars, or extended downtime. 30+ devices, 14,000 sq ft facility, 2 minutes from Gangnam Station.
What Is V-Line Face Contouring and How Much Does It Cost in Korea?
V-line face contouring is a non-surgical procedure that reshapes the lower face into the characteristic Korean V-shaped oval, using masseter Botox to slim the jaw (₩29,000/50U at RE:BERRY Gangnam), chin filler for forward projection (₩450,000/cc), and optional lifting devices for skin tightening. Total V-line protocols range from ₩29,000 to ₩5,990,000 depending on treatment combination and depth.
The V-line — characterized by a narrow jawline tapering to a defined, slightly pointed chin — is the most sought-after face shape in Korean beauty culture and has become a global aesthetic trend. While V-line jaw surgery (mandibular angle reduction osteotomy) was the traditional approach, modern non-surgical techniques have made it possible to achieve similar results for most patients without bone cutting, general anesthesia, or weeks of recovery. The non-surgical V-line protocol at RE:BERRY Gangnam addresses three key anatomical components: (1) jaw width, reduced by injecting botulinum toxin into the masseter muscles causing controlled atrophy over 4-12 weeks; (2) chin shape, enhanced with hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite fillers for projection and definition; and (3) skin draping, tightened with HIFU (Ultherapy Prime), radiofrequency (Thermage FLX), or Coolwaves (Onda) to ensure the skin conforms to the new, slimmer facial contour. Korean physicians have performed more V-line procedures than any other country, giving them unmatched expertise in creating natural-looking, ethnicity-appropriate results. At RE:BERRY Gangnam, Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu customizes every V-line protocol based on individual bone structure, muscle mass, fat distribution, and skin elasticity — there is no one-size-fits-all approach.

How V-Line Face Contouring Works at RE:BERRY Gangnam
The Korean three-layer approach to creating the perfect V-line without surgery.
V-Line Facial Assessment and Protocol Design
Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu evaluates your facial proportions from multiple angles: jaw width, chin projection, facial thirds ratio, masseter muscle bulk (assessed by palpation during clenching), skin laxity, and subcutaneous fat volume. Using this analysis, the physician designs a customized V-line protocol specifying which treatments address each concern. Common configurations include Botox-only V-line (mild cases), Botox + chin filler (moderate cases), or the full multi-layer approach with energy devices (comprehensive V-line transformation). Complete pricing is disclosed before treatment begins.
Step 1: Masseter Botox for Jaw Width Reduction
The foundation of every V-line protocol. Genuine Allergan Botox or Xeomin is injected into the masseter muscles (50-100 units depending on hypertrophy level) at precisely mapped points within the muscle belly. The injection takes 5-10 minutes. This single step produces the most dramatic change in facial width, with measurable jaw narrowing appearing at 2-4 weeks and peak V-line effect at 8-12 weeks. At ₩29,000 for 50 units, this is the most cost-effective V-line treatment available anywhere globally.
Step 2: Chin Filler for V-Line Definition
With the jaw width addressed, the second step enhances chin projection to create the tapered V-line point. Juvederm (hyaluronic acid) or Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite) is injected along the chin midline and inferior border using cannula or needle technique. Typically 1-2cc creates significant chin definition. The filler provides immediate structural support, elongating the lower face and creating the characteristic pointed V-line chin that defines the Korean beauty ideal. Results are visible immediately with final settling at 2 weeks.
Step 3: Energy Devices for Skin Draping and Tightening
The final layer ensures skin conforms to the new, slimmer jawline contour. Loose skin after jaw slimming can mask results, so tightening is essential for a clean V-line. Ultherapy Prime targets the SMAS at 4.5mm for deep lifting. Sofwave addresses the mid-dermis at 1.5mm. Onda Coolwaves combines skin tightening with subdermal fat reduction. Aftercare includes soothing and detailed instructions in your language. Follow-up at 4-6 weeks evaluates the combined V-line result.
V-Line Face Contouring: What to Expect
- The Original Korean V-Line: Korea invented the V-line aesthetic. Gangnam physicians perform more V-line contouring procedures than any other region worldwide. RE:BERRY’s physicians bring this accumulated expertise to every protocol design.
- Three-Layer Precision: Masseter Botox (muscle layer) + chin filler (structural layer) + energy devices (skin layer) = comprehensive V-line reshaping that addresses the root cause of a wide face at every anatomical level.
- Dramatic Savings vs. Surgery: Non-surgical V-line from ₩29,000 versus V-line jaw surgery at ₩5,000,000-15,000,000+. Comparable V-line results for mild-moderate cases at 1-10% of surgical cost with zero surgical risks.
- Zero to Minimal Downtime: Botox: zero downtime. Filler: 24-48 hours mild swelling. Energy devices: temporary redness. Most patients resume all activities the same day. Fly home the same evening after Botox-only V-line.
- Customizable and Reversible: Unlike permanent surgical jaw reduction, every non-surgical V-line component is adjustable. Botox wears off naturally. HA filler dissolves with hyaluronidase. Treatment can be refined with each maintenance visit.
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Day 0 | V-line protocol completed in 1-2 hours. Chin filler provides immediate V-line chin projection. Botox and energy devices begin working beneath the surface. Minor filler swelling expected for 1-2 days. |
| Week 1-2 | Chin filler fully settled into final V-line position. Botox begins relaxing the masseter muscles. Energy device collagen stimulation activating. Face begins looking subtly slimmer. |
| Week 3-4 | Noticeable jaw narrowing as masseter atrophy progresses. Combined with chin projection, the V-line shape becomes clearly visible. People begin commenting that your face looks different. |
| Week 6-8 | Significant V-line transformation. Jaw width measurably reduced by 20-35%. Chin projection enhanced. Skin tightened along jawline. This is the dramatic before/after comparison point. |
| Month 3-4 | Peak V-line effect. Maximum masseter atrophy achieved. Collagen remodeling from energy devices at peak. The full three-layer result is optimally visible. |
| Month 4-6+ | V-line maintained. Botox begins gradually wearing off. Schedule maintenance Botox (₩29,000) at 4-6 months. Chin filler lasts 12-18 months. Lifting results sustained 12-18 months. |

The Science Behind Korean V-Line Face Contouring
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting non-surgical V-line contouring methods.
The Masseter Muscle and Facial Width
The masseter is one of the strongest muscles in the human body, capable of generating up to 700 newtons of force during maximum bite. Hypertrophy of this muscle — caused by habitual clenching (bruxism), gum chewing, or genetic factors — is the primary non-skeletal contributor to a wide lower face. Botulinum toxin injection produces controlled denervation atrophy, reducing muscle volume without affecting skeletal structure. Park et al. (2003) in Dermatologic Surgery published a landmark study demonstrating that botulinum toxin A injection reduced masseter muscle thickness by an average of 31% at 12 weeks in 45 patients, with all subjects showing visible improvement in facial contour. The reduction was dose-dependent, confirming that higher doses produce more pronounced V-line effects. doi:10.1046/j.1524-4725.2003.29026.x
Chin Augmentation: Filler vs. Implant
Chin projection is the second critical component of the V-line. Traditional chin augmentation used silicone implants requiring surgery and carrying risks of infection, displacement, and bone erosion. Modern injectable fillers provide comparable projection with dramatically lower risk. Braz and Humphrey (2017) in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology evaluated chin augmentation using hyaluronic acid fillers in 147 patients, finding a mean improvement of 2.1 points on the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale at 12 months, with 94% patient satisfaction. The study confirmed that 1-2cc of HA filler provides clinically meaningful chin projection enhancement lasting 12-18 months, supporting its use as a non-surgical V-line component. doi:10.1111/jocd.12392
Combination Protocols and Synergistic Effects
The scientific rationale for combining multiple modalities in V-line contouring is well-established. Each treatment addresses a different anatomical layer, and the combined effect exceeds the sum of individual components. Choi et al. (2019) in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal published a retrospective analysis of 312 Korean patients who received combination V-line treatments (botulinum toxin + filler + energy-based devices). Patients receiving combination protocols showed 2.4 times greater improvement on standardized facial width-to-height ratio measurements compared to single-modality patients. Satisfaction scores were significantly higher in the combination group (92% vs 71%), and complication rates were comparable to single treatments. doi:10.1093/asj/sjy178

What International Patients Say About V-Line Contouring at RE:BERRY
“I have been self-conscious about my wide jaw my entire life. Dr. Ryu did masseter Botox and chin filler in the same session — total ₩479,000, which is less than just the Botox would cost in Singapore. By week 6, the V-line transformation was incredible. I have since recommended RE:BERRY to five friends.”
“As someone who was scared of jaw surgery, the non-surgical V-line at RE:BERRY was life-changing. The Botox slowly slimmed my jaw over 2 months while the chin filler gave me instant definition. Natural, gradual, and nobody knew I had anything done — they just said I looked great.”
“Third annual visit for maintenance V-line Botox. Each time costs ₩29,000 — less than my monthly coffee budget. My face shape has permanently changed after repeated sessions because the muscle keeps getting smaller. Dr. Oh is incredibly precise with the injection placement.”
Frequently Asked Questions About V-Line Face Contouring in Korea
Expert answers about Korean V-line face contouring at RE:BERRY Gangnam Seoul.
At RE:BERRY Gangnam, V-line contouring starts from ₩29,000 for masseter Botox 50U (~$21 USD). The V-Line Complete package (Botox + chin filler) costs ₩479,000 (~$350 USD). Premium V-line with lifting devices from ₩1,199,000. Signature Lifting Package: ₩5,990,000. All exclude 10% VAT.
The V-line is a facial silhouette where the jawline tapers from narrow temples to a slim jaw ending in a defined, slightly pointed chin — resembling the letter V. This face shape is the most sought-after aesthetic in Korea and increasingly worldwide. It is achieved by reducing jaw width and enhancing chin projection.
Yes, for mild to moderate cases. Masseter Botox 50U (₩29,000) reduces jaw width by 20-35% over 8-12 weeks. Adding chin filler (₩450,000) creates the tapered V-line point. Most patients achieve significant V-line improvement without any surgical intervention.
Botox-only V-line: 10-15 minutes. V-Line Complete (Botox + chin filler): 30-45 minutes. Premium V-line with energy devices: 1-2 hours. All treatments can be completed in a single visit. Ideal for tourists with limited time in Seoul.
Minimal discomfort. Masseter Botox uses ultra-fine 30-gauge needles — feels like brief pinches. Chin filler involves topical numbing and lidocaine within the filler. Energy devices feel warm to mildly hot. Most patients rate pain 3-5 on a 10-point scale.
Non-surgical face contouring is the broad category covering all non-invasive facial reshaping. V-line is a specific subtype focused on creating the tapered jaw-to-chin silhouette. V-line protocols prioritize masseter Botox and chin filler, while general contouring may also address cheeks, forehead, and midface.
No. Non-surgical V-line produces gradual change over 2-12 weeks. Unlike surgery, there is no overnight transformation. The jaw slowly slims as the muscle atrophies, and the chin filler integrates naturally with surrounding tissue. Results look like natural facial refinement.
Absolutely. V-line principles apply to all ethnicities. Jaw width reduction and chin enhancement create a more defined facial contour regardless of ethnicity. Korean physicians at RE:BERRY treat patients from 40+ countries and customize protocols for each individual’s bone structure.
One day is sufficient for the treatment itself. Botox-only V-line can be done in an afternoon. For the Complete package with filler, we recommend staying 2 days for the filler to settle. For Premium V-line with energy devices, 2-3 days optimal.
Yes. Botulinum toxin has been used safely for over 30 years. Masseter Botox specifically has excellent long-term safety data from large Korean studies with thousands of patients. Repeated treatments actually improve results as the muscle progressively atrophies, with no cumulative adverse effects.
Botox effects are temporary by design — this is a safety feature, not a drawback. Effects wear off over 4-6 months as nerve endings regenerate. Maintenance at ₩29,000 per session restores the V-line. Duration extends with each repeat session.
Yes. Hyaluronic acid chin filler (Juvederm) is fully dissolvable with hyaluronidase enzyme injection. The filler dissolves within 24-48 hours, completely reversing the effect. This is a key advantage of non-surgical V-line over permanent surgical chin implants.
RE:BERRY uses Juvederm (Allergan/AbbVie) and Radiesse (Merz) for chin augmentation. Juvederm provides immediate HA volume with 12-18 month duration. Radiesse offers structural support with calcium hydroxylapatite. Both are MFDS-certified. Your physician recommends based on your anatomy.
During free consultation, the physician palpates your masseter while you clench. Mild hypertrophy: 50U (₩29,000). Moderate: 75U (₩43,500). Severe: 100U (₩58,000). Dr. Ryu assesses muscle thickness, symmetry, and desired slimming level. Dose is never guessed — always based on clinical evaluation.
Yes. Popular add-ons include Juvelook skin booster (₩340,000) for glass skin, Hydrafacial (₩250,000) for glow, wrinkle Botox (₩19,000/area) for forehead, and PicoSure toning for pigmentation. RE:BERRY’s 30+ devices enable fully customized combination sessions.
Three reasons: (1) Korea invented the V-line aesthetic and has the highest procedure volume globally, (2) pricing is 70-95% less than US/Japan/Singapore for identical products, (3) Korean physicians have unmatched experience in facial contouring across all ethnicities.
All procedures by Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu (CEO/Medical Director, License #131644) or Dr. Yejin Oh (License #144238). No nurse injectors. Physician-only treatment included in all listed prices. Both have extensive experience in V-line protocols for international patients.
Risks are minimal: temporary bruising (5-10% of cases), mild swelling (24-48 hours for filler), temporary tenderness at injection sites. Serious complications are extremely rare with physician-performed treatment. All risks are incomparably lower than surgical jaw reduction.
Yes. Male V-line protocols are increasingly popular. The approach is modified: typically less chin projection to maintain masculine proportions, with emphasis on jaw slimming for a leaner facial profile. Masseter Botox is equally effective in men; doses may be higher (75-100U) for larger muscles.
Three differentiators: (1) 30+ genuine devices enabling multi-layer protocols in one visit, (2) transparent fixed pricing with no hidden upsells — ₩29,000 means ₩29,000, (3) Dr. Ryu’s KOL status for Revinas and Juvelook demonstrates manufacturer-recognized clinical expertise.
