Answer: Can chin augmentation be done using local anesthesia alone? Yes. The only benefit is probably a financial break on the anesthesia. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of chin implants and facial procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Chin implant under local anesthesia Chin implant (augmentation) can definitely be done under local anesthesia . You might not even need any relaxant. Once the local is injected to numb the chin, much like a dentist would do, you'll feel nothing. The main advantage is less cost saving.

Answer: Chin Augmentation under Local Anesthesia While chin implant augmentation can be done under local anesthesia, you have to ask yourself the purpose for that type of anesthetic approach. Why not the benefits of at least some IV sedation which does not cost more than local anesthesia and would make it more comfortable?
