What is Under Chin Lift?
An under-chin lift (submental lift) targets sagging skin and excess fat specifically in the area beneath the chin and upper neck. By tightening the underlying muscle and removing redundant tissue through a discreet incision, it sharpens the jawline profile without the need for a full neck or face-lift.
How Does Under Chin Lift Work?
- 1Video consultation with chin-profile assessment and discussion of expected outcome
- 2A small incision is made in the natural crease under the chin
- 3The surgeon tightens the platysma muscle and removes or redistributes excess fat via direct excision or liposuction
- 4Redundant skin is trimmed and the incision is closed with fine sutures
- 5A compression chin strap is applied to support the new contour during healing
Who is a Good Candidate for Under Chin Lift?
- Patients with a sagging or poorly defined under-chin area despite a relatively stable weight
- Adults with mild to moderate submental skin laxity
- Individuals who want targeted improvement without a full face-lift or neck lift
- Those with visible platysma bands limited to the submental region
- Non-smokers in good general health
Why Choose Under Chin Lift at MedProper?
Focused & Precise
The procedure concentrates exclusively on the under-chin zone, delivering maximum impact with a single small incision.
Minimal Scarring
The incision sits in the natural shadow beneath the chin and becomes virtually invisible once healed.
Shorter Downtime
Because the surgical area is limited, swelling resolves faster and most patients return to daily routines within a week.
All-Inclusive Package
The €3,060 package includes surgery, hospital care, hotel, transfers, medications, and 12-month aftercare.
What is the Recovery Timeline?
Day 1
Surgery & Rest
The procedure takes 1-2 hours. You rest in a private room with a compression chin strap before transferring to the hotel.

Frequently Asked Questions
A submental lift focuses exclusively on the area directly beneath the chin, using a single small incision. A full neck lift extends behind the ears to address the entire neck, including lateral skin laxity and wider platysma banding.
Yes. If excess fat is present, liposuction is performed through the same incision before the muscle is tightened, giving an even more defined profile.
The incision is hidden in the natural crease under the chin. Once fully healed, it is typically imperceptible even at close range.
Light walking is encouraged from day one. You can resume gym workouts and vigorous exercise after 3-4 weeks.
