How Much Does Soft Tissue Reduction of the Chin Cost?

Question

What would the avg cost be to correct secondary soft tissue problems from a previous reduction- via submental incision shortening the inferior mentalis reattaching tightly with excision of the excess skin? What would this procedure be called? Are very many cosmetic or maxillofacial doctors familiar with this?

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?

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

You are specifically referring to a submental chin reduction procedure, which can be used to reduce a bony chin prominence and/or redundant and sagging soft tissues. This is a one hour procedure which can be done under either IV sedation or general anesthesia. If it is soft tissue only, then IV sedation would be very satisfactory. The total cost would be in the range of $ 3,000 to $ 3,500.
