Can I get a chin implant in-office?

Question

Hi, Do you know of any doctors in the LA area that perform chin implants in office, with local?? Also does this cut out the cost of a surgical center? Leaving only the cost of implant? I was looking around and the surgical center fees are almost as much as the implant itself making it way to costly for me.

Thanks for sharing. Chin implants can be performed under local anesthesia as an office procedure as long as there is a proper "surgical" procedure room.  Our chin implants are performed in our AAASF accredited surgery room. This will eliminate the "anesthesia fee" and drastically reduce or eliminate the "facility fee".  Thus, the "surgeons fee" would likely be the only fee.

Chin implants can be placed using local anesthesia, avoiding the cost of an additional anesthesiologist.However, the facility at which the procedure is performed should be in a room dedicated to surgical procedures. This may be in an office surgical suite or even a dedicated treatment room that adheres the the usual sterile policies of a larger operating room.

Many doctors will do chin implants in their surgery suite with local/sedation. The only cost this alleviates is that of the anesthesiologist. You will still have the surgeon's fees, the cost of the implant and the facility fees.

A chin implant is an invasive surgical procedure that needs to be done under sterile conditions in  a surgery center, not in an office setting. A chin implant can be performed under local anesthesia as an outpatient surgical procedure. Shop quality, not price , to get it done right the first time

Many chin implants are done in office setting with local anesthesia or mild sedation. It can be more comfortable than a dental work.
