Cost of Chin Implant/ Jaw Angle Implants in NYC

Question

I have a very weak jawline and have been looking for the cost of mandibular angle implants and chin implants in NYC but found very extremely different prices. I know it differs from surgeon to surgeon but a 9000$ difference seems like too much. I am trying to get my jawline to look like brad pitt in the photo. How much do you think that would cost in NYC or in Northern NJ. Do you personally know a reputable doctor in NYC that can perform this surgery for a decent/ fair amount. Thanks in advance!

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?

Sometimes you get what you pay for. I would be leery of going to someone that offers the cheapest price for many reasons.  The most expensive may not be the best either. You have to make a judgement based on other factors. Get multiple opinions first though before choosing someone. Jaw implants can make you look a lot better and they can masculinize your face to a significant degree.
