How much does chin surgery cost in Mexico?

6-month interest-free instalments (MSI) are available with participating Mexican credit cards. Terms are confirmed at your assessment consultation.

"All-inclusive" means operating theatre and facilities, pre-operative laboratory work, the post-surgical recovery package and follow-up until discharge — not the surgeon’s fee alone. Approximate figures in Mexican pesos, current for 2026; results may vary from person to person. Every figure published on this site is approximate and is not a quote. Any procedure or treatment first requires a private assessment consultation with Dr. Arístides Arellano —$800 MXN, charged separately— and it is at that consultation that the definitive cost of your case is determined.

How much does chin surgery cost in Mexico?

From $40,000 MXN approx. with Dr. Arístides Arellano in Puebla, a plastic surgeon holding Mexican specialty licence 0002008. That figure is for chin augmentation with an implant, which is the commonest case.

It is an all-inclusive price: theatre, pre-operative labs and recovery are inside it. The surgery is usually performed from inside the mouth, so no visible scar is left.

Chin surgery price: what it includes and what it does not

Included: the implant, theatre and facilities, pre-operative labs, the post-surgical recovery package and follow-up until discharge. That the implant sits inside the figure is the least visible difference between two estimates, and it is always worth asking about.

Not included: the assessment ($800 MXN, charged separately) or hospital and anaesthetist fees if the case is done in a hospital theatre.

How much does a chin implant cost?

The same as chin augmentation: from $40,000 MXN approx., implant included. The implant is not billed separately from the surgery.

Chin implants are biocompatible pieces made in different shapes and sizes: some project only the point of the chin, others extend the contour towards the jaw to widen the lower third. Which one applies is chosen from your proportions and from what the profile needs, not from a catalogue. The facial implants page covers materials and areas.

Augmentation or reduction: does the price change?

It depends on the direction of the change, which is why the table has two rows. Augmentation starts from $40,000 MXN approx. Reduction — a prominent or overly long chin — is bone surgery, planned case by case, and no figure is published for it because that would mean inventing one.

It is worth saying where this page stops. When the problem is not the chin but the position of the whole jaw or the bite, the ground is orthognathic or maxillofacial surgery, a different specialty. If that is found at the assessment, the honest step is to say so and refer, not to place an implant over a different problem.

A recessed or small chin: what can be corrected

An under-projected chin — clinically, microgenia — is the commonest reason for this consultation, and people rarely arrive because of the chin itself: they arrive because of the profile. A short chin makes the nose look larger than it is and blurs the angle between neck and jaw.

What an implant corrects is the projection of the chin. What it does not correct is the position of the jaw or the bite: that is a skeletal problem and belongs to another specialty. Telling the two apart is the work of the assessment, and it is why an estimate from a photograph is worthless here.

Chin surgery with rhinoplasty: why they are combined

Because the profile reads as a whole. Reducing the nose without projecting a short chin leaves the job half done, and it is not unusual for someone who came asking about a rhinoplasty to leave the assessment with a recommendation to address the chin as well — or the other way round.

Done in one operating session it usually costs less than two separate surgeries: one theatre, one anaesthetic, one recovery. The combined estimate is made at the assessment, which is why that row carries no figure. The rhinoplasty price table is here.

Why can an exact price not be given without examining you?

Because it depends on whether the chin is augmented or reduced, on the implant your proportions call for, and on whether it is combined with another surgery. The assessment costs $800 MXN, is charged separately, and you leave it with the plan and the definitive cost in writing. Every figure published on this site is approximate and is not a quote. Any procedure or treatment first requires a private assessment consultation with Dr. Arístides Arellano —$800 MXN, charged separately— and it is at that consultation that the definitive cost of your case is determined.
