What is chin surgery? Chin surgery, also known as mentoplasty or genioplasty, is a surgical procedure to reshape the chin either by enhancement with an implant or reduction surgery on the bone.

The average cost of chin augmentation (mentoplasty) is $3,641, according to the latest statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. This average cost is only part of the total price – it does not include anesthesia, operating room facilities or other related expenses.

For patients who desire a flatter, more toned tummy and who find that diet and exercise alone cannot provide the results they desire, a tummy tuck may be an appropriate option. Drains after surgery are the typical method used, but drainless surgery is something to consider.
