While beauty standards are constantly evolving, whether a face is considered attractive is something that can be backed by science. The shape and symmetry of a face are key elements of attractiveness, and when it comes to Asian beauty standards, the V-shaped face is perhaps considered the most desirable of all.
Defined by its slim cheeks, structured jawline and sharp chin, the V-shaped face is a common face shape amongst many celebrities and Korean idols. This face shape allows you to pull off most hairstyles and looks, inspiring many to desire the same facial shape for themselves.
While not everyone is naturally blessed with a V-shaped face, the good news is that modern technologies have made it possible to achieve this desirable face shape non-surgically.
Characterised by slim cheekbones and a narrowing jawline that tapers into a V-shaped chin, this facial shape symbolises youth, femininity and elegance in Asian culture.
The V-shaped face is highly desirable also because of its visible balance and symmetry, which are key facial traits that are deemed beautiful.
Not everyone is naturally born with a V-shaped face. While genetic bone structure plays a significant role, there are other factors that also determines your facial shape:
Fortunately, achieving a V-shaped face without surgery is now possible through various non-surgical treatments:
Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any impurities. This is especially important as the treatment involves injections.
To minimise discomfort, a topical numbing cream will be applied. This is usually left on for about 30 minutes.
Once your skin is thoroughly cleansed and numbed, your doctor will use a fine needle to administer the polynucleotide skin booster gently and carefully into your skin.
A soothing gel and yellow LED light will be left on for 10 minutes after the skin booster treatment to calm the skin and reduce redness.
As with most treatments that consist of injections, there will be downtime of about 1-2 days. This includes:
Proper aftercare ensures optimal healing:
