How Much Does a Jaw Implant/Chin Implant Cost? and What Are the Safest Type to Use? (photo)

Improving the contours of your chin and jaw area is an excellent way to establish the more balanced facial proportions it seems you desire. Often this type of chin implant surgery is done instead of or in combination with nasal surgery.

To determine whether chin implant surgery alone will achieve the look you desire, you will need an in-person consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon who can fully evaluate your features from all angles and discuss the best options for achieving your goals.

My preference and the most commonly used chin implant is made of Silastic - a material the body does not react to that when inserted through a small incision under the chin forms a natural pocket to hold it in place against the natural jaw bone. Because of this placement, the chin implant looks very natural and feels like your own bone. Implants are available in a variety of shapes and sizes which you would evaluate and choose with your surgeon in your pre-op planning appointment.

The cost for this type of chin implant surgery is in the $4,000 range. See the link below for examples of what chin surgery can do for your looks.

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?

There are a variety of jaw implants and in some cases a more balanced jaw does make the nose look a bit smaller.  We have chin implants, Angle of the jaw implants and now custom complete jaw implants.  Each has a specific purpose and the correct candidate.  I recommend you reach out to a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in jaw implants Good luck RR

Costs for a chin implant will vary depending on a number of factors, including whether or not you undergo general anesthesia, the facility fee, and the surgeon’s fee, which can vary depending on skill, experience, and location. At my practice in North Carolina, chin implants generally run anywhere from $3000 to $7000. There are a number of different types of chin implants, including silicone elastomers, ePTFE, and porous polyethylene. None of these are safer than the other, and it is simply doctor preference which to use. Personally, I like to use silicone implants because they can be molded and customized easily. I do not usually recommend jaw implants, as a square jaw can be achieved more easily simply with the use of dermal fillers. Hyaluronic acid fillers or collagen building fillers can both be injected in a short and virtually painless procedure to achieve a subtle, natural jawline enhancement. I hope this helps.
