I'm getting a septoplasty some time this year, my septum is very deviated and I can't use my nose at all. This will be covered by my insurance. However, I'm interested in eliminating my double chin at the same time (to save anesthesia costs & etc), but I don't think my insurance will cover that since it's purely cosmetic. I'm not overweight at all and never have been, it's just bad genetics unfortunately! Without taking anesthesia into account, do any of y'all have an estimate for the cost?
Answer: Average cost getting rid of double chin? I cannot say what the average cost is, but I can say the cost in our office to proceed under local anesthesia is about 1500$. Its a very easily tolerated and quick procedure. Total operative time is about 30 minutes. I hope this helps.

Answer: Cost of a chin implant? 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?

Answer: Neck liposuction for double chin A full set of photographs are required of the neck to determine what may be required. If there is fatty deposits above the platysma muscle, liposuction can accomplish removal. Fatty deposits below the platysma muscle will require a surgery known as a neck lift which involves removal of fatty deposits above and below the platysma muscle in addition to a platysma plasty. if there is loose and inelastic skin the neck, a lower face and neck lift is required. For many examples and ourcurrent price list, please see the link and the video below

Answer: Average cost getting rid of double chin? Hi, I have performed many Chin Augmentations using chin implants for over 30 years. Non smiling photos, of your face, from the front and side would help in the evaluation. If your 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. Excess fat can be removed as well as excess skin from under the chin at the same time using the same incision.Hope this helps.
