How much for a "cleft chin" incision only?

    This procedure is inexpensive, can be performed under local anesthesia, and is a short outpatient procedure.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

The creation of a vertical chin cleft can be done multiple ways, from the outside of the chin or from the inside of the mouth. When you use the term 'incision only' that implies making a chin cleft from the outside through an incisional approach. That could be done in the office under local anesthesia at a cost of $1500.
