    Your surgeon will need to sculpt this implant for making a customized fit. The cost of sculpting shall depend on the quality, size, and number of chin implants used. Additional procedures may be performed by the surgeon if the situation calls for it. Generally, rhinoplasty is performed for a more harmonious result. In this case, the overall price tag may go up.

    Insurance and Financing

    Chin augmentation surgeries are primarily considered an aesthetic procedure. The cost of the plastic surgery is not covered under regular health plan. However, you can always seek medical loans for the procedure. There is a competitive market for elective surgery loans.
