Average Cost of a Chin Implant Removal? Can I Have It Removed Through an Incision on the Chin if I Had It Placed Orally?

Cost factors vary significantly for a number of good reasons: Prices vary greatly because the surgery itself encompasses a wide range of techniques that can be performed to different extents. My recommendation is to first find the most qualified surgeons where you want the surgery performed that are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery you trust, then compare prices between them. See the below link on suggestions on how to find the most qualified plastic surgeon for your procedure. General Factors that influence the price of plastic surgery include:


1. Location - Will it be performed in a hospital with an overnight stay, an independent out- patient facility or a doctor’s office? Geographical location also has a significant influence. RealSelf has average charges for most areas of the USA.


2. Type of Anesthesia - local, IV sedation or General Anesthesia? Will a board certified anesthesiologist, nurse anesthetist, or an RN be used?
    
      3. Experience and training of your surgeon. The best and longest trained is most often a plastic surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery
   
      4. Length and Complexity of Surgery - how difficult will your surgery be and how long it will take, etc. Will other complementary procedures also be also performed during the same surgery?

   The implant can probably be removed through the chin, but this would create an additional scar.  Removal of a chin implant in the simplest case may be $1000 or so.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

The approach for removal of a chin implant will depend on the reason for removal and the type of implant that was used. For example, if there has been significant tissue ingrowth into the implant I would prefer an incision under the chin which provides better exposure.
