Prices vary by location.

Where I live, rhinoplasty is around $6000 (give or take $1000). I don't remember if this figure included anesthesia fees, but those usually get tacked on too.

Some plastic surgeons do their own anesthesia and they have a nurse practitioner present to help monitor the patient. I've personally always preferred paying more to have an anesthesiologist (an MD who specializes in anesthesia) present in the OR during an elective surgery to administer the anesthetic and monitor me throughout the procedure, but this depends on your comfort level and the plastic surgeon's preference.

I don't know how much chin implants cost because I've never considered having one put in.

 

Nope, I didn't notice much besides some swelling. In this guy's case, the improvement was noticeable (which is probably why he told us he got the implant in the first place) and it did even out his face quite a bit. I remember him mentioning something about the size or number of the implant being a 3 but I didn't ask him to elaborate at the time since it wasn't a procedure I was interested in having. But, if you didn't know what he started with, you'd never in a million years think he'd had work done. So, it's very subtle and natural looking unless you knew him before he had the chin 'corrected'.

 

I've never had this and have never personally considered it, but I know from a coworker's experience that it's a relatively easy procedure and that --if it's not performed in conjunction with rhinoplasty or neck lipo-- it's done under local anesthesia and takes about 30 minutes. My coworker (a guy) had a receding chin and wanted a more balanced and harmonious profile, so his PS made a small incision and inserted a prosthesis. Like I said, it took about 30 minutes.
