Bangkok · Cosmetic surgery
V-line jaw surgery is performed in Bangkok by private hospitals and licensed day-surgery clinics. This page sets out the indicative price, what changes it, how long the trip takes, and what to establish with a clinic before you pay anything.
The same procedure name covers different operations. Technique, materials, whether anything is done alongside it, and whether you are treated in a hospital with an overnight bed all change what you are quoted.

V-line surgery reshapes the lower jaw and chin to narrow the outline of the face. It is facial bone surgery, performed through incisions inside the mouth, and it is a larger undertaking than soft-tissue contouring.
It is normally combined work: the jaw angle, the body of the mandible and the chin are addressed together to keep the outline continuous.
The same procedure name covers different operations. These are the approaches a clinic will offer, and what separates them.
Removing bone at the back angle of the jaw to narrow the lower face from the front and in profile.
Thinning the outer layer of the mandible to reduce width without altering the outline.
Cutting and narrowing the chin, and repositioning it forwards, backwards or vertically.
Moving the chin segment without narrowing it. A smaller operation where projection rather than width is the issue.
Often planned alongside, since narrowing the jaw alone can change the balance of the mid-face.
These come up at consultation. Knowing them beforehand makes the conversation shorter and the plan clearer.
Some lower-face width is masseter muscle, which responds to injections instead. An examination distinguishes them.
Swelling from facial bone surgery is significant and lasts well beyond the trip. Plan around it.
3D CT planning is standard for this work. Ask whether it is included.
About 12 days
Clinics vary, and your clinician’s plan overrides anything on this page. The shape is consistent.
Photographs, measurements and history by email, then a video consultation. Nothing is fixed until you are examined in person.
Consultation, examination, bloods and pre-operative checks. This is where the plan — and therefore the price — can change.
Usually the day after the assessment. Most people stay one night where an overnight bed is part of the plan.
Rest, dressing changes and wound checks. Expect to do very little.
Sutures and dressings checked, and clearance to fly. This appointment is why the trip is around 12 days rather than three.
Swelling settles over weeks. Agree before you leave who you contact and how.
A clinic name is not a clinician. Ask for the individual, their registration, and how often they do this procedure.
Facility fees, anaesthesia, materials, medication, follow-up appointments and take-home items are often quoted separately.
Including if the clinic reschedules, or if the in-person assessment changes the plan.
Ask for the policy in writing: who pays, within what window, and whether it covers a return trip.
A name, a channel, and an expected response time. Aftercare that ends at the airport is not aftercare.
Clinics that perform this in your city see your enquiry, without your details. Up to three take it and come back to you with real quotes. You decide who — if anyone — you talk to.
Everything worth settling before you book, before you fly, while you are in Bangkok, and once you are home — including how this goes wrong and how to avoid it. Tick it here, or take it with you.
All of this is settled on paper, before money moves.
Avoidable problems, mostly caused by booking in the wrong order.

No. It is a starting price — the published figure for the simplest version of this procedure. Only a clinic can quote you, and only after examining you and agreeing a plan.
Lower facility and staffing costs, and high procedure volume. It is the same operation, and the major implant and device manufacturers are the same ones used at home.
Around 12 days for most people. The final review and clearance to fly sets the length, not the surgery.
No. Your surgeon sets the date you are fit to fly. Book a flexible return if you can.
