Kbeauty News Headlines

 

Korea's Obsession With the V-Line Face

 

• If the latest Korean news headlines are anything to go by Korea's obsession with the V-line face shape doesn't seem to be waning any time soon. 

• In Korea, an egg-shaped or V-line faceis generally considered the most ideal face shape, as opposed to square jaws or round faces.  

• Koreans think it looks younger and more soft, whereas squarer jaws give a 'strong impression' 

• In addition to jawline and facial contour surgery, there are a range of procedures offered in plastic surgery and dermatology clinics to obtain a V-line face. 

• One such procedure is the Venus Egg Injection, a patented procedure that offers immediate results minus the scalpel 

• Lauren discusses her thoughts on whether the obsession has gone too far
