Chin Implant

What is a Chin Implant?

Placement of a chin implant, also known as chin augmentation, is an extremely effective solution for providing definition to the lower face and balancing the facial profile. Chin implants are made of various biocompatible materials including silicone, gortex, and medpor and are custom-shaped for a natural looking fit. The results are permanent but can be reversed if desired.

Chin implants are used to correct a weak chin or to balance a strong nose. Patients who undergo chin augmentation typically have a very high satisfaction rate, due to the positive changes this surgery can offer. In fact, many aesthetic surgeons believe a chin implant is the facial cosmetic procedure with the most “bang for your buck” when comparing aesthetic impact with the cost of a cosmetic procedure.

Choosing a Surgeon for Your Chin Implant

When choosing a surgeon for your chin implant, you want to find a physician that is highly skilled in the procedure and experienced in all types of facial enhancements. This is because the chin is just one feature that affects the overall balance and proportion of the facial profile. An experienced surgeon will be able to discern whether a chin augmentation alone will deliver desired results or whether another procedure may be required to bring the face into perfect balance. Dr. Daines is board-certified in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery and can help you understand the benefits of chin augmentation and additional procedures if they should be necessary.

Chin augmentation is frequently combined with other facial procedures for a synergistic effect as well. Liposuction of the neck is easily performed at the same time as chin augmentation to add a crisp, youthful transition from the jawline to the neck. Rhinoplasty and chin augmentation are complementary procedures that are frequently performed simultaneously. Done together, they can balance the profile and deliver a more natural long-term result.

What Is the Cost Of a Chin Implant?

The total cost of chin implant surgery varies depending on several factors. Geographic location, the surgeon’s experience level and the facility where the procedure is performed all impact the total price.

However, the cost of a chin implant procedure is not just the upfront price. Patients should also factor in pre-op lab tests and any necessary medications. Additionally, time off work needs to be considered which usually ranges from 5 to 10 days for chin implant surgery.

At Daines Plastic Surgery, we strive to provide excellent results at a fair and reasonable cost with transparent pricing. The price ranges you can expect for a chin implant are $6,000 – $8,000 for the surgeon and an added facility & anesthesia price of $1,800 – $2100.

During your consultation, Dr. Daines will assess your unique needs and goals to provide a personalized quote. Our knowledgeable staff can also review cosmetic surgery financing options and help you make an informed decision.

*NOTE: Cost should not be the only deciding factor when it comes to any surgical procedure. Choosing a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with extensive experience in chin augmentation, like Dr. Daines, is the best way to ensure safe and satisfactory results. Opting for a bargain procedure with an underqualified provider is never worth the risk.

Are Chin Implants Safe?

As with any surgery, chin implant procedures carry some risk. However, when performed by a qualified and experienced facial plastic surgeon, chin augmentation is generally very safe.

The implants are made from biocompatible materials like silicone and polyethylene, which have been used in medical applications for decades. Allergic reactions are extremely uncommon. While no implant can be guaranteed to last forever, chin implants are highly durable and rupture or breakage is exceedingly rare.

Proper patient screening contributes to the safety and success of chin implant surgeries. Ideal candidates must be healthy, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations. Dr. Daines carefully evaluates each patient to ensure they are an appropriate candidate before recommending surgery.

Following all pre- and post-operative instructions minimizes risk and facilitates a smooth recovery. Patients may need to temporarily avoid certain medications, supplements and activities and cease smoking of any kind for a duration stipulated by the doctor. Diligent incision care and adequate healing time before returning to work and exercise all make the difference.

Your plastic surgeon’s skill, precision and aesthetic judgment play a significant role in the safety and outcome of your chin implant procedure.
