Chin Augmentation
Before a chin augmentation consultation
A chin augmentation consultation is easier when you know what to ask. For readers in Redmond and nearby, the questions below cover the visit, the quote and the travel, and leave the call on your face to a surgeon who examines it.
Chin consultation questions
- What approach does the surgeon suggest for you, and why?
- How often does the surgeon perform chin augmentation?
- What does the written quote include?
- Where do follow-up visits happen, and how far is the drive?
- What should you arrange at home?
Chin cost, services and research reading
The society's page on facial implants cost is a place to start thinking about price. Ask each office for an itemized quote in writing.
Surgeons describe their own services too. A university surgeon's page of aesthetic services shows how one practice lists what it offers. Look for the same kind of plain list when you compare offices.
Published papers show what surgeons write about their work. A review of facial contouring surgery covering genioplasty and mandible angle correction is one example. Ask any surgeon you consider what they have published or presented.
The society also has an article on whether a chin implant is right for you. Read it so you arrive with questions about the procedure itself.
