Chin Augmentation

Many men and women elect chin augmentation to accompany a nose job, or as stand-alone cosmetic procedure. During chin augmentation, a doctor reshapes the underlying tissue to create space for a sterile implant, then inserts the prosthetic in the front of the chin. The doctor may also perform minor liposuction underneath the chin to enhance the jawline. The result is a more balanced face. The average cost of chin augmentation is $6,500 in the US and £4,100 in the UK. Plastic surgeons in Latin America can perform chin augmentation for less than $2,000 or £1,500.

In Mexico, Argentina, and Costa Rica, plastic surgery on the face is very popular among the young and the wealthy. Doctors are experienced in performing chin augmentation on their fellow Latin Americans, as well as on medical tourists. Many Latin American surgeons have studied medicine in the US and UK, and they are up to date on the latest techniques. Licensed plastic surgeons use implants made of ePTFE, Supramid, and Mersiline, the same materials that doctors in the US and UK use. Because these materials are synthetic, flexible, and strong, the risk of infection and shifting is low. Doctors in Latin America also provide excellent follow-up care. Ten days after chin augmentation surgery, the doctor will check the sutures and make sure the patient is healing normally.
