Chin Implant Surgery

Many people are born with a chin that is retrusive or does not project as much as they would like for it to. Chin implant surgery can improve this problem. The surgery often makes a dramatic difference in a person's appearance. The implant provides projection which creates a stronger and more aesthetically pleasing profile. Chin surgery is often combined with cosmetic surgery of the nose to improve the entire facial profile. Approximate price for chin implant:

Approximate Chin Implant Surgery Cost: $2,575 (estimated) This price includes a consultation, surgeon's fee, facility fee, anesthesia and post-operative visits.

The Chin Implant Surgery

A chin implant is placed into the chin via a small incision right underneath the chin. This incision is then sutured and allowed to heal.

The kind of implant will be discussed between you and the doctor. She will examine you, and discuss your goals to determine what will be best for you.

After Chin Implant Surgery:

After chin implant surgery, you will have some swelling and bruising which will eventually resolve. The doctor will provide you with other instructions on how to care for the area.
