Chin Implant (Chin Augmentation) in Savannah

Chin Implant generally runs $4,000–$12,000 per procedure, and each Savannah clinic sets its own price. The biggest variables are the provider's experience level and the specific device or product used. Newer technology and senior injectors price at the upper end. Pricing is quoted in US dollars (USD).

Maintenance schedules vary. Most Savannah providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6–12 months once optimal results are achieved.

Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.

An implant is a shaped piece of solid silicone placed on the front of the chin bone through a small incision inside the lower lip or under the chin: forty-five to ninety minutes, quick recovery, easily reversed by removing it. It suits a mild to moderate recession where the chin only needs to come forward. A sliding genioplasty cuts the lower edge of the chin bone, moves it forward, down or sideways, and fixes it with a small plate: one to two hours, done by a plastic or oral-maxillofacial surgeon, and it can lengthen a short chin or correct asymmetry as well as project it. The 2025 systematic review of 1,126 patients found implants suit mild to moderate deficiency and genioplasty suits severe deficiency and complex three-dimensional problems, with high satisfaction for both and a trend toward higher satisfaction after genioplasty.

A silicone chin implant runs $4,000 to $8,000 in the US including surgeon, anesthesia and facility; a sliding genioplasty $7,000 to $12,000 because it is longer and needs plating. Combining with rhinoplasty or chin liposuction in one operation is common and cheaper than doing them separately. Canadian prices track similar figures in dollars. For comparison, chin filler costs $700 to $1,500 a year, so an implant is cheaper than filler after about five years.

Yes, and it is how most people arrive at surgery. One to two syringes of firm filler on the chin shows you the effect of projection on your whole profile for twelve to eighteen months, reversibly. If you love it and would rather stop paying yearly, an implant makes it permanent. Filler cannot lengthen a very short chin or correct asymmetry convincingly; those are genioplasty problems from the start.

The ASPS list covers both methods: anesthesia risks, bleeding, hematoma, infection, asymmetry, numbness of the chin and lower lip from the mental nerve, poor healing, prolonged swelling, a result you are not happy with and the possibility of revision. Implants add displacement, capsular contracture (thick scar around the implant) and, over years, some erosion of the bone beneath. The review's numbers: implant infection ranged from 0% to 23.8% across studies and persistent sensory change was 9.4%; genioplasty infection was 0% to 5.3%, temporary numbness was very common, and numbness lasting beyond a year affected 7.4% to 12.5%. Both are permanent operations on the face; the surgeon's experience with the specific method is the main variable.

A chin strap for a week, swelling and bruising along the jaw for two weeks, one to two weeks off work, and a soft diet plus mouth rinses for a week if the incision is inside the mouth. Numbness of the chin and lower lip is expected for weeks to months, longer after genioplasty. Most swelling is gone by four to six weeks and the final shape is clear at three months. Implants can be felt but not seen once healed; genioplasty leaves nothing to feel.

When the size and shape are chosen for your face, yes; the change is in proportion rather than a feature people can point to, and the usual comments are that the nose looks smaller or the neck tighter. Overprojection and a too-wide implant are the recognizable failures, and they are a surgeon's judgment error, not a property of the implant. Ask to see profile results at a year, not at three months.

Often. Surgeons regularly pair chin augmentation with rhinoplasty, because nose and chin are judged together in profile, and with chin liposuction or a neck lift, because projecting the chin tightens the line under it. One anesthetic, one recovery, and usually a lower combined price than two operations.
