Wen I was 8 I had a compacted fracture on my chin from a head on collision. How much would bone grafting surgery cost? (Photo)

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?

Your photo appears to show that your right lower chin is higher than your left. Even though this may be due to previous bone-fracture, a well-performed injectable filler procedure may be helpful. We prefer to use Silikon-1000, an off-label filler for permanent results. Photo below.Hope this helps you.Dr. Joseph

Hello, your question is a good one.  It is hard to tell exactly what is going on just by the images alone but there are several options to re-contour the chin.  Some involve modifying the bony structure while others involve the use of custom silicone chin implants versus soft-tissue fillers.  I would suggest the least invasive option first.  Sounds like the injury was quite some time ago and the bone defect may or may not be relevant.  Would need to see the images and evaluate the chin to make proper call.
