I was quoted $9,000 for a submentoplasty (not including anesthesia/facility fees). The doctor is in Irvine, California. This seems a little steep to me, and I'm thinking I should get a second opinion.

Answer: What does a submentoplasty cost? Well as you already know, fees vary considerably from region to surgeon and beyond. I would have to know just what your submentoplasty includes before commenting on the cost quoted. If it includes a cervicoplasty (lower neck lift), then its not out of the ball park. If its truly limited to the area under your chin, you can find much better pricing where you live.

Answer: Cost for a submentoplasty Hello Todd92602,The costs for any surgery are based on the market factors and patient characteristics. Being that I'm in Houston, our charges are significantly different than in California. For my market that is a very expensive submentoplasty if performed alone. As far as patient characteristics some necks that are revisions, larger, or have more work to be done may cost more. Keys to determine if that price is worth it for you is to get a consult from another surgeon in the area. The next thing to consider is the results of the surgeon. You can look at before and after photos, talk with anyone who has had a similar surgery by that surgeon that you know, and take a look at testimonials at multiple online sources including RealSelf. If after all that you feel it is worth that price to you then go with it. I hope this helps and good luck.
