Chin Implant Cost in India

The cost of chin implant surgery in India typically ranges from $1,500 to $7,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

Chin implant surgery (chin augmentation) places an implant over the chin bone to make the chin more prominent. The cost usually depends on:

• Implant material and size: usually solid silicone or other materials.
• Approach: a cut under the chin or inside the mouth.
• Anaesthetic: local with sedation or general anaesthetic.
• Alternative procedure: a sliding genioplasty, which moves the bone itself, is priced differently.

There are two main ways to change the chin:

• Chin implant: an implant is placed over the bone to add projection.
• Sliding genioplasty: the chin bone is cut and moved forward or adjusted, then fixed with plates.

The choice depends on the shape of the chin and jaw, the bite, and the change wanted. A significant jaw imbalance may need jaw surgery instead.

The surgeon makes a small cut under the chin or inside the lower lip and creates a pocket over the bone. The implant is placed and may be secured with stitches or a screw.

It is often done as a day case.

Swelling and bruising usually settle over a few weeks, and the final result takes longer to show. If the cut is inside the mouth, a soft diet and careful mouth hygiene are needed for a short time.

Possible risks include infection, implant movement, asymmetry, numbness of the lower lip or chin, and dissatisfaction with the result. An implant can be removed or replaced if needed.
