What's the average cost for an in office Chin Liposuction under local anesthesia?

Question

What's the average cost for an In office chin liposuction under local anesthesia. I'm 35 yoa with no skin laxity. I noticed a slight double chin forming at age 26. I'm not interested in smart lipo. I'm considering tumesent/ water assisted chin lipo. My neck area is firm and there's no problems with fat there. Just under the chin also I'm not over weight.

I appreciate your question.

Cost varies by geographic location, surgeon expertise, OR time, anesthesia, length of procedure etc.  I would recommend that you see a board certified plastic surgeon in your area who specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery and who is also a member of The American Society of Plastic Surgery.  You can call their offices in advance and ask for quotes prior to scheduling consultations.

The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Best of luck!

The contributing factors to the #cost include the surgeon’s fee, facility fee if necessary, medication cost and the anesthesia fee. Estimated fees may also be found here on Real Self, and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery website, Surgery.org, or PlasticSurgery.org.
However, there may be additional options to improve the appearance of your concern to improve the overall balance of your face. Such can be best evaluated in-person. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in #face, #neck and #chin procedures is important to ensure you are receiving the best advice, care, and surgical experience possible.

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 my practice we combine VASER with ThermiRF and find best results in contouring, as long as there is no need for neck skin removal.  Please see an expert and do not compromise your care for cost or distance. Best, Dr. Emer.

A full set of photographs are required to make a determination about what may be required. Many patients have fatty deposits underneath the platysma muscle which requires surgery to remove that compartment of fat. A platysma plasty is then required after the sub-platysmal fat has been removed. That procedure is usually performed under general  anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. Simple  liposuction is usually performed under local  anesthesia. For more information  and many examples including our current price list, please see the link and the video below

I perform submental (under the chin) liposuction on a very frequent basis, most recently earlier today.  We also performed this procedure three days ago, and she posted before/after photos on realself earlier today.  The procedure takes about 45 minutes and involves a single small (about 1/4") incision beneath the chin.  A compression garment is required at all times for 2 weeks following the procedure and on a tapering basis for an additional 2 weeks.

The cost in your area is something you'll have to find out by calling the offices. Be sure you are talking to board certified plastic and facial plastic surgery offices. You could also consider Kybella for that area.

Hi, non smiling photos of your face from the front and side would help in the evaluation. I have performed many facial shaping procedures using dermal fillers, liposuction and facial implants (cheek implants, chin implants).  If the chin is weak, this creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy and the lower face look short that de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a double chin.  Chin augmentation using a chin implant will add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face.  I have found that placement of a silastic chin implant, through a small curved incision under the chin (also allows excess skin removal) to be very safe, quick, highly effective and far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty.  I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone.  Liposuction with or without skin removal can be performed at the same time as needed.Hope this helps.
