Many people are not completely satisfied 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 that your chin is too long (or if you feel that 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 predispositions, changes that occur with age or weight loss can also be the cause. Some people have an innate bone structure that makes the chin perceived longer than they would like and others experience that their chin changes over time. A previously round face can thus be perceived as more elongated as we get older, as the skin on the neck and chin can lose its elasticity.
Neck lift and other surgical options
Are you looking for a way to reduce the length of your chin and get a facial profile that feels more balanced? Then a neck lift may be an option for you. This method is best suited for patients whose chin has changed shape due to aging or weight loss. A neck lift is a permanent solution in which the skin on the neck and under the chin is tightened. This results in a more defined and youthful neckline where the chin is not as prominent. A neck lift is also particularly suitable for those who experience excess skin, a so-called “turkey neck”.
When undergoing surgical procedures such as a neck lift, it is important to have a carefully conducted 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 desire.
Fillers as an alternative
If you are not ready for surgical procedures, but still want a more balanced facial profile, fillers be an excellent alternative. By using fillers in the jawline, we can create a more defined contour that optically shortens the chin and gives the impression that the face is more proportional.
Fillers are a quick and effective solution that requires no recovery time and where the results are visible immediately. You can even be involved during the treatment itself and see the results take shape with a mirror. Many patients who feel insecure 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.
