How much does a chin liposuction cost around where I live? Bridgeport CT (Photo)

Our office specializes in chin liposuction. The cost of treatment in Los Angeles is guided by the amount of fat to be removed, the type of liposuction, and the facility/anesthesia charges. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

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?

 In your case liposuction of the chin and neck can be easily performed with local anesthesia. I would expect to pay around the thousand dollars.

You should obtain a consultation from a board certified plastic surgeon near you. They will evaluate you and discuss options to treat your double chin. For someone your age, liposuction is most commonly performed and gives good results including a stronger jawline. In some patients, the fat responsible for the double chin is more deeply located and cannot be removed with liposuction. Instead, it must be removed through a roughly one inch incision beneath the chin. This procedure is more involved than liposuction with a longer recovery.

For uncomplicated liposuction under the chin (submental  suction lipectomy), we charge $2750.  This includes the preoperative appointment, procedure, and all postoperative followups.  We have laughing gas available for $50.  Please read the realself reviews of our practice, as some of our patients have posted pre- and postoperative photos of liposuction under the chin.
At age 22 and 120 lbs, you are a good candidate due to your skin elasticity.  I anticipate a much better defined jawline.
