Many people feel unhappy with the way their chin looks and are affected by the feeling that it is disproportionate to the rest of their face. Whether you feel your chin is too long (or you feel it makes your face look more elongated), there are solutions that can help restore a more harmonious profile.

There are several factors that can be behind a long chin. Why do some people have a chin that is long and others one that is smaller, more pointed or wider? It is simply because we are created differently, but genetic conditions, changes that occur with age or weight loss can also be the cause. Some people have innate bone structure that makes their chin appear longer than they would like and others find that their chin changes over time. Thus, a previously round face may appear more elongated as we get older, as the skin on the neck and chin may lose its elasticity.

Neck lift and other surgical options

Are you looking for a way to reduce chin length and get a facial profile that feels more balanced? Then a neck lift may be an option for you. This procedure is best suited for patients whose chin has changed shape due to aging or weight loss. A neck lift is a permanent solution where the skin on the neck and under the chin is tightened. This results in a more defined and youthful neck line where the chin is less of a focus. Neck lift is also particularly suitable for those who experience excess skin, a so-called "turkey neck".

For surgical procedures such as neck lifts, it is important to have a thorough consultation to ensure that the result is as natural as possible and suits your wishes. At Estetikcentrum , we can work with you to create a plan that suits your facial structure and gives the result you want.

Fillers as an alternative

If you're not ready for surgery but still want a more balanced facial profile, you can fillers can be an excellent option. By using fillers in the jawline, we can create a more defined contour that visually shortens the chin and gives the impression that the face is more proportionate.

Fillers are a quick and effective solution that requires no recovery time and the results are visible immediately. You can even be involved in the treatment itself and watch the results take shape with a mirror. Many patients who feel uncertain about a major procedure are grateful that fillers are a flexible treatment. This means that you can adjust and change the result according to your wishes.
