How Much Does Soft Tissue Reduction of the Chin Cost?

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?

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.
