How much would a chin implant cost under local anesthesia?

Question

I've read about chin implant costs averaging around 6000$. From my knowledge, given that in this scenario it would be under local anaesthesia, the absence of an anaesthesiologist, OR time and circulating nurses significantly lessen the procedure's cost. Any input would be appreciated, thanks!

Michael P. Morrissette, DDS, FACS · Answer

You are correct in that the cost of an anesthesiologist and OR generally add about $1500-2000 to a given procedure. Chin implants can be placed under local anesthesia but I prefer to perform this procedure under IV sedation at no additional cost. The sedation reduces fear and most patients don't remember any aspect of the procedure. Similar to other outpatient "twilight" sleep procedures.

The price of Chin Implant operation depends on several factors such as the difficulty of your case and your request for your operation area.
In my practice, prices for Chin Implant operation reaches from 2250 Euro up to 2450 Euro range, and it also includes the travel package such as accommodation, local transfers, and language assistance. If you want to learn more you can click the link below.

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?

Dear danlan123,the cost of surgery depends on a lot of factors (type of surgery, number of treated areas, anesthesia fee, surgeon, facility fee, city, etc.). It would be the best to visit or call plastic surgery offices and ask for a price.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

In our practice, most patients undergo placement of a chin implant under local anesthesia to save the cost of not having to go under general anesthesia.  Chin implants are usually placed through a small incision underneath the chin after the entire chin area is numbed up with lidocaine.  The size and shape of the implant is best determined at the time of the consultation on examination, since there are many options available based on the specific needs of the patient.  For many  before and after examples  of  chin implants, please see the link and the video below
