Chin Implant
How much is chin implant surgery?
Chin implant surgery costs 3000 – 5000k. Chin augmentation using injectables costs less due to the fact it does not require a surgical team, operating theater, etc.
How is chin implant surgery performed?
Chin augmentation procedures are outpatient procedures performed in a hospital or a surgery suite at your plastic surgeon’s office.
The chin implant procedure can be performed while the patient is under general anesthesia or local anesthesia. Local anesthesia is cheaper.
The surgery usually takes just under an hour. The plastic surgeon makes an incision inside the mouth, along the lower lip, or in the skin just beneath your chin. A pocket is created over the front of your jawbone to insert the implant.
How long will it take to recover from chin implant surgery?
At least 5 days are required for recovery. If injectable chin augmentation surgery was selected, then recovery time is often less.
Many chin implants are placed through the mouth, so efforts must be made to keep the mouth as clean as possible with Listerine after surgery. Liquid diets are also recommended until the incisions are healed. Never touch incisions with anything but a gloved finger. Keep your head elevated with pillows at night to relieve pressure from the treatment area.
