V Shape Face Singapore
What Is It, How Does It Work, Cost & Process
For many people, having a V-shaped face is highly desirable. It is associated with beauty and femininity, especially in Asia. Unfortunately, not everyone is born with this face shape.
Apart from genetics, there are several other reasons why many people do not have a V-shaped face. High salt intake and water retention can make your face become puffier and rounder. Extra fat easily accumulates in the cheeks or under the chin, which gives you a rounder face and double chin. Moreover, we lose collagen and elastin as we age, resulting in sagging skin.
What is a V-Shaped Face?
A slim jaw with a sharply defined chin defines a V-shaped face. This facial shape gives the illusion of a slimmer face and a more youthful appearance.
Many desire this visually appealing face shape, and some are willing to go under the knife to get this facial structure. Face slimming products and methods such as beauty masks, creams, serums, facial massages and numerous others are sold to help people achieve the desired V-shape face. But often, these products and tactics over-promise but under-deliver. It comes as no surprise because if you were not born with this face shape, it usually requires professional treatment to achieve it.
At Sozo Clinic, we offer non-surgical V shape face slimming procedures in Singapore to help you achieve your desired facial shape. These treatments help with facial contouring, face slimming and skin tightening.
Who Is V Shape Face Treatment For?
If you’re considering a V shape face procedures, you might be wondering if this option suits you. Here are some ideal candidates for these treatments:
- Individuals with a square or wide jawline who wish to soften their face shape.
- Those dealing with stubborn fat in the lower face or under the chin (double chin).
- People who experience sagging skin due to natural ageing.
- Anyone seeking a more contoured and youthful facial appearance.
V shape face contouring is suitable for adults of any gender and is popular for those seeking to avoid surgical procedures.
How Do V Shape Face Treatments Work?
Several non-invasive approaches are available for shaping the face. Below are some techniques used to achieve a V-shaped face.
- HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound). A non-invasive treatment using ultrasound energy to deeply penetrate the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production for skin tightening and lifting. It is particularly effective for contouring the jawline and slimming the cheeks.
- Dermal fillers. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are injected into the chin to enhance its shape and definition. They elevate soft tissues to sharpen the profile and create a more V-shaped appearance.
- Botox for jaw reduction. Botox relaxes and shrinks the masseter (chewing muscles), making it ideal for individuals with a square face or pronounced jawline. This reduces muscle bulk, resulting in a slimmer and more contoured lower face.
- Thread lift. Dissolvable threads are inserted under the skin to lift sagging areas, defining the jawline and tightening loose skin for a more youthful V-shape.

V Shape Face Treatment Procedure in Sozo Clinic
At Sozo Clinic, our process is simple, starting with a consultation to analyse your facial structure and understand your goals.
Pre-Treatment Consultation
The first step is a detailed consultation with our aesthetic practitioner, Dr Justin Boey, where your facial structure is assessed, and your aesthetic goals to achieve a V-shaped face are discussed. You’ll receive information on different face sculpting options and, together, will determine which one is ideal for you.
During the Procedure
During the V-shape face treatment, you may feel sensations like mild tingling, warmth or slight pressure. This is normal. Fortunately, applying numbing cream on your face can reduce the discomfort. The procedure typically lasts 30 minutes to an hour, depending on factors such as the severity of the issue and your skin condition.
Post-Treatment Care
After the treatment, patients are advised to:
- Avoid strenuous exercise and extreme heat (e.g., saunas) for 24 to 48 hours.
- Stay hydrated and follow a good skincare regimen to maintain the results.
- Protect treated areas from direct sunlight by using high-SPF sunscreen.
- Avoid applying heavy makeup or skincare products that may irritate the treated areas for at least 24 to 48 hours.
- Do not pick, scratch or touch the treated areas excessively to prevent irritation or infection.
- Refrain from using exfoliating products or treatments for at least a week.
- Follow any aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner for optimal results.
Your aesthetic practitioner will also provide specific aftercare instructions tailored to the treatment you’ve received.
Our V Shape Face Options
If you don’t want to wait long before achieving this specific face shape, we offer non-invasive V-shaped face-slimming treatments here in Singapore. The results are on par with surgical procedures, minus the discomfort and long downtime. Check out the three treatments below:
1. Sharper Chin – Achieved Using Chin Fillers
To obtain a V-shaped face, a sharp, defined chin is needed. Chin fillers are a widely practised chin augmentation method that corrects recessed chins and other profile deformities to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing look. Hyaluronic acid filler is injected into the chin, which elevates the soft tissues, resulting in a sharper and more defined chin.
2. Slimmer Jaw – Jaw Botox
This face-slimming treatment is recommended for patients with a bulky face shape or jawline. Botox is injected into the masseters (chewing muscles), which causes them to shrink and relax. Once the muscles are relaxed, the muscle bulk is reduced. This gives the lower face more definition and makes your face appear slimmer.
3. Slimmer Cheeks – HIFU
HIFU uses ultrasound energy that penetrates deep into the skin, reaching the dermis and superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS). The energy waves cause a small injury to the tissue, which triggers the body’s natural healing reaction to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This results in natural skin tightening and lifting, giving more definition to the jaw area.
HIFU is an effective face-slimming treatment because of its ability to reach deep layers of the skin.

V Face Shape Treatment Before and After
It’s best to consult an experienced doctor to determine the best approach to achieve your desired results.
As a medical clinic in Singapore and in accordance with the Ministry of Health’s guidelines, we cannot show the before and after results of V face shape treatment online. However, our medical director, Dr Justin Boey, can discuss the expected results during an official medical consultation.
Alternatives for V Shape Treatment
Here are some alternative face-slimming solutions to achieve this facial structure.
Rollers
You can use this tool in the comfort of your home. Rollers don’t just help in facial contouring and lifting; they also do a great job of helping the skin absorb skincare products better. You can apply serums, moisturisers or a sheet mask over your face using this tool.
The primary purpose of rollers is to massage your face and drain the fluids in the lymphatic drainage system, making it ideal for face slimming. This also improves blood circulation, which helps jumpstart collagen production.
If you have extra time before bed, adding this to your skincare routine can be worth it as long as you stay consistent.
Botox
Botox is a face-slimming treatment used around the world. This treatment works by weakening and shrinking the masseter muscles in the jaw. This is especially helpful for patients with a square jawline.
However, remember that it targets the muscle and not facial fat. As mentioned, Botox relaxes the jaw muscles and reduces its bulk. This helps with facial contouring, which gives more definition to the lower part of the face.
Results typically appear after 1-2 weeks after the treatment. It’s also a temporary solution as the effects wear off after 4-6 months. Regular treatment every 4-6 months is recommended to maintain the effects.
Creams
Several facial creams in the market claim to have ingredients that tighten, lift and provide contour to the face. Creams that help you get a V-shaped face aim to lift sagging skin and reduce swollen areas of the face caused by water retention.
Applying these creams with the proper massaging skills is recommended to help the skin absorb the nutrients better.
Facial Masks
Facial or face slimming masks are marketed as products that may help you get that V-shaped face. It allegedly works by helping reduce swelling and firm the muscles to sculpt and tighten the face without surgery.
There are several masks available that specifically help with face slimming and lifting. The first type aims to help replenish and moisturise the skin while giving your jawline a lift. The second type focuses on treating the neck and jawline area. Lastly, the famous V mask mainly focuses on the jawline.
