V Lift Glendale

The face naturally loses its youthful shape over time, often shifting from a “V” to a heavier, bottom-heavy silhouette. A V lift restores lift and structure, subtly recontouring the lower face for a refreshed, elegant profile.

A V lift is a minimally invasive facial procedure designed to re-establish the youthful “V” shape of the face. This procedure focuses on lifting the lower and midface while improving jawline definition and minimizing jowling.

A V lift may help address the following:

Loss of jawline definition
Early jowling or heaviness in the lower face

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a V Lift?

Candidacy is determined during your consultation, where Dr. Vartanian will assess facial anatomy, skin tone, and aesthetic goals. This procedure best suits patients experiencing early aging who want structure restored without extensive surgery. The following are ideal candidates:

Individuals with mild to moderate facial sagging
Those with good skin elasticity
Non-smokers in good general health
Patients who are not ready for a complete facelift

What Happens During the V Lift Procedure

Each V lift is fully customized to your facial shape and tissue dynamics. Dr. Vartanian uses his surgical background to ensure optimal lift and contour tailored to your natural structure.

In-depth consultation and digital imaging.
A surgical plan focused on the lift vector and volume preservation.
Small, hidden incisions are placed near the ears or along the hairline.
Strategic tissue repositioning, sometimes with internal sutures.
Close postoperative monitoring and recovery support.

Healing and Long-Term Results

Most patients return to regular activity within seven to ten days. Swelling and tightness diminish gradually over several weeks. Because the V lift uses your natural facial structure as a guide, results tend to look softer and more organic than traditional lifting methods. Final results become more visible within two to three months and can last several years.

Types of V Lift Techniques

The technique used depends on your unique anatomy and the degree of lifting required. During your consultation, Dr. Vartanian will select the most appropriate method.

Ideal for early signs of aging, this approach focuses on the lower face and jawline.

Frequently Asked Questions V Lift

Is the V lift permanent?

While long-lasting, the V lift is not permanent. Depending on skin quality and aging, results typically last three to five years.

Will I have visible scars?

Incisions are discreetly placed and heal very well. Once fully healed, they’re typically not noticeable.

Can the V lift be combined with other procedures?

Yes. It’s often paired with neck lift, eyelid surgery, or facial contouring for a balanced result.

What’s the difference between a V lift and a complete facelift?

The V lift is less invasive and targets early aging, while a complete facelift addresses more advanced facial sagging.

Are there risks involved?

As with any surgery, risks include bruising, swelling, asymmetry, or temporary numbness. Complications are rare when performed by an experienced facial surgeon.
