Facial Contouring (V-Line Combo)
Botox + fat dissolving + thread lift combo for sculpted V-line
About This Treatment
V-Line Combo integrates three aesthetic technologies for comprehensive facial contouring: ① Botox to masseter muscles to reduce jawline width ② Fat-dissolving injection (deoxycholic acid) to reduce submental fat ③ Thread lift (PCL/PDO) for lower face and neck tightening and lifting
The three work synergistically: narrower jaw + less fat + lifted contour = sculpted V-line. Non-surgical alternative to surgical contouring.
Mechanism of Action
Botox: Blocks acetylcholine at neuromuscular junction, reducing masseter hyperactivity and jawline width (effects at 2 weeks, peak at 4 weeks). Fat dissolving: Deoxycholic acid disrupts fat cell membranes, triggering apoptosis (gradual reduction over 3-4 weeks). Thread lift: PCL/PDO threads create dermal support structure for immediate lift + collagen induction over 6 months as threads resorb.
Indications
Expected Results
Botox: Jawline reduction starts at 2 weeks, peaks at 4 weeks. Fat dissolving: Gradual reduction 4-8 weeks. Thread lift: Immediate lift post-treatment, progressive collagen benefit over 3 months. Combined result: 30-45% V-line improvement after full combo. Results maintain 12-18 months.
Clinical Evidence
Risks & Side Effects
Botox: Transient headache, facial stiffness. Fat dissolving: Injection-site swelling, bruising, pain (3-7 days). Thread lift: Mild edema, discomfort (3-5 days). Combined modality increases cumulative side-effect risk. Contraindicated in pregnancy/lactation.
