Long chin - What is chin correction treatment and when is it right for you?

This article has been reviewed and approved by Chief Medical Officer and Aesthetic Surgeon Dr. Ali Bagher on August 13, 2025.

A chin that is a little too prominent or a little too long can affect how you perceive your face shape. It's not just about appearance, but often about how you feel when you see yourself in profile, when you look in the mirror or in pictures. Many people who contact us at Estetikcentrum in Malmö want to know what you can actually do to get a facial line that is more defined and sometimes it is precisely a neck lift that can be the solution.

It is not uncommon for the chin to be perceived as "too long" when it is actually the case that the skin under the chin and on the neck has started to sag or accumulate some fat. In this case, the neck and chin can merge in a way that makes the whole area look longer or heavier than it really is.

When might a neck lift be right for you?

A neck lift can make a big difference if you feel that the skin under your chin is sagging or that you have a 'turkey neck'. This is particularly common among people who have lost a lot of weight or as we get older.

Neck lifts are also recommended for those who feel that the face and neck are not quite connected anymore and that the chin is pulling downwards. Our skilled surgeons are experts in localized neck lifts that create a clear transition between the face, chin and neck. This not only gives you a more beautiful profile, but also makes you look younger. 

How a neck lift works at Estetikcentrum

At Estetikcentrum , there are several different techniques depending on what you need. A standard neck lift involves tightening the skin, removing excess and sometimes adjusting the muscles under the skin. Incisions are made discreetly behind the ears and sometimes even under the chin (depending on the amount to be done).

In some cases, we can also combine a neck lift with minor liposuction. This is particularly suitable for those who have fat deposits under the chin that affect its shape. The entire operation is performed under general anesthesia and you will receive a compression bandage afterwards to help you heal.

We bring out your best self!

The goal of a neck lift is not to change the way you look, but to enhance what is already there. Removing loose skin and tightening the area under the chin gives the entire lower part of the face a lift. For example, it can give you a more defined jawline, a smoother-looking neck and a more balanced overall appearance.

A warm welcome to a consultation with us!

The first step in a neck lift is to come for a consultation with us and meet our competent and caring surgeons. The consultation is a very important step where we talk together about your wishes and needs. We will also answer all your questions and give you a price for your surgery.
