Chin Implants with Jaw Angle Implants?

If I am getting Chin Augmentation, and I also want to incorporate jaw angle implants with that.

How much will the cost of surgery go up? Is it as simple as paying for the implant, or does the cost double as if you were doing both surgeries separately?

There is NO SIMPLE surgical procedure. All surgeries are to beconsidered major. Chin implant may sound simple but it is a complex procedure that require the knwledge of the muscles in the chin that affect the position and shape of your lip. Angle implants are more complex.
