Mortality rate for chin implant and is it safer than rhinoplasty?

You may be reassured that chin implant surgery may be performed with purely local anesthetic. In the right hands, that would make the mortality rate as close to zero as possible. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

The issue of patent safety begins with patient selection, in that elective aesthetic procedures should be performed on healthy patients. The mortality rate should be approximating zero with no statistical difference between choice of anesthesia. Personally, I would not want to have a chin implant placed on myself without sedation.

I do chin implant surgery in the office with a small amount of local anesthesia. We've had excellent success with essentially no complications. You can even drive in and drive out.
Mortality should be zero from this, and morbidity (other complications) is also very very low.
