Chin augmentation is any treatment that reshapes or projects the chin to improve facial balance. That can be surgical (a silicone chin implant or a sliding genioplasty that repositions the chin bone) or non-surgical (dermal fillers or fat transfer). The right option depends on how much change you want, how long you want it to last, your tolerance for downtime, and of course, your budget.


If you’re comparing costs, you’re in the right place. This guide breaks down typical UK price ranges for chin implants, sliding genioplasty, chin fillers and fat transfer, then explains what’s usually included in a quote (and what isn’t). You’ll also find how London prices compare with the rest of the UK, the key factors that push fees up or down, longevity and “cost per year” comparisons, expected recovery, common treatment combinations, finance options, and what to budget for unexpected revisions. We’ll finish with safety tips for choosing a qualified provider and answers to the most asked pricing questions—so you can plan with confidence.


Typical UK price ranges at a glance


To orient your budget quickly, here are benchmark chin augmentation prices in the UK taken from recent, publicly listed clinic fee guides. Your personal quote will depend on the surgeon, anaesthesia, facility, and complexity.


Procedure

Typical UK prices

Chin implant (silicone)

£4,250–£10,000

Sliding genioplasty (chin bone)

From £7,800+

Chin fillers (hyaluronic acid)

£450–£900 per session

Fat transfer to chin

£4,500–£7,000+


Most fees are “from” prices; combination procedures or complex anatomy usually increase costs.


What chin augmentation includes (and what it doesn’t)


Chin augmentation quotes in the UK vary by provider and anaesthesia. Many implant and genioplasty cases are day‑case procedures; quotes are often “from” prices that scale with complexity. Some clinics advertise all‑inclusive packages with no hidden fees, but always confirm line items so you know exactly what your chin augmentation price includes.


  • Usually included: surgeon’s fee; anaesthetist/theatre (for general anaesthesia); implant device or filler product; basic dressings and immediate post‑op checks.

  • Often not included (or charged extra): overnight stay; combined procedures (e.g., rhinoplasty, neck lipo); revision surgery; future filler top‑ups; upgrading from local to general anaesthesia.


Chin implant prices in the UK


Chin implant prices in the UK vary with anaesthesia, location, and the clinic’s profile. Based on current public fee lists, regional day‑case mentoplasty commonly starts around £4,250–£5,200, while established London practices publish £6,800–£7,150. Premium central London packages can begin at £10,000. Remember most figures are “from” prices and increase with case complexity or when treatments are combined.


Setting/approach

Typical published prices

Outside London, local anaesthesia day case

£4,250–£5,200

Outside London, general anaesthesia day case

£4,900–£5,500

London specialist clinics

£6,800–£7,150

Premium central London/Harley Street

From £10,000


Expect quotes to reflect the anaesthesia plan (local versus general), the clinic’s location, and whether your case is straightforward or combined with other procedures. Some providers advertise all‑inclusive packages; others itemise theatre, anaesthetist and device fees—so confirm what your chin augmentation price covers before you book.


  • Regional benchmarks: many quotes fall around £4.5k–£5.5k depending on anaesthesia.

  • London benchmarks: well‑known clinics list £6.8k–£7.15k, with premium options from £10k.


Sliding genioplasty prices in the UK


Sliding genioplasty repositions your own chin bone rather than using an implant. It’s usually performed under general anaesthesia, which—together with theatre time and fixation plates/screws—makes it one of the higher chin augmentation prices. Current UK fee guides list genioplasty from £7,800, with London flagship clinics typically quoting higher, especially for complex movements or when combined with other procedures.


While many cases are day‑case, your total depends on planning and facility needs. Expect “from” prices to rise for:


  • Advanced planning: 3D imaging/surgical simulation.

  • Complexity: multi‑vector movements or longer theatre time.

  • Hardware: titanium plates/screws and additional fixation.

  • Hospital stay: overnight observation when indicated.

  • Combined surgery: rhinoplasty, neck liposuction, or orthognathic work.

  • Revisions: secondary procedures generally cost more.


Always ask for an itemised estimate that separates surgeon, anaesthetist and hospital fees, clarifies hardware costs, and confirms what post‑op reviews are included.


Chin filler prices in the UK


If you’re considering non-surgical chin augmentation, UK prices for hyaluronic acid fillers typically run £450–£900 per session based on published clinic fee guides. London practices often sit toward the upper end of that band (£500–£900), while regional clinics commonly start from around £450–£500. Most quotes are per syringe, and many patients need about 1 ml in a first session, with the option to add more if required.


Results are temporary—clinics commonly quote 6–18 months’ longevity—so plan for periodic top-ups to maintain projection. Fillers suit those needing a modest enhancement or a “trial run” before surgery, and they offer minimal downtime with a quick return to normal activities. Your final chin augmentation price with fillers will depend on the product used and total volume needed at each visit; combining sessions (for example, a staged approach to build definition) will increase overall spend across the year.


Fat transfer chin augmentation prices


Fat transfer chin augmentation prices in the UK vary with setting and anaesthesia. Based on published fee guides, regional “minor” fat transfer cases (under local or short general anaesthesia) commonly start around £3,400–£4,200, while London clinics quote from about £7,000 for facial fat grafting to the chin. Quotes typically include micro‑liposuction to harvest fat, processing, and careful reinjection; theatre and anaesthetist fees scale with time and complexity. Treating combined areas, staging sessions, or needing an overnight stay will increase the total. Results can outlast dermal fillers, but natural resorption may mean touch‑ups, affecting long‑term spend.


London vs the rest of the UK: price differences


Broadly, chin augmentation prices are higher in London than in regional centres. For chin implants, published London quotes cluster around £6,800–£7,150, with premium Harley Street packages from £10,000, versus regional day‑case pricing around £4,250–£5,500. Sliding genioplasty is listed from £7,800 nationwide, with London clinics typically higher. For non‑surgical options, fillers are £450–£900 per session and tend to sit at the upper end in London, while fat transfer commonly starts around £3,400–£4,200 regionally versus about £7,000 in London.


Factors that drive cost up or down


No two quotes look the same because chin augmentation prices hinge on a handful of practical variables. Understanding these lets you compare like‑for‑like and avoid surprises when a “from” price becomes a final figure.


  • Anaesthesia choice: local is cheaper; general adds anaesthetist and theatre fees.

  • Location and clinic profile: London and premium centres cost more than regional.

  • Complexity and theatre time: longer or multi‑step movements increase hospital charges.

  • Combined procedures: pairing with rhinoplasty or neck lipo lifts the total.

  • Implant/device/hardware: higher‑spec implants or fixation plates/screws add cost.

  • Custom planning: 3D imaging/simulation and detailed treatment planning are chargeable.

  • Day case vs overnight: inpatient stays raise hospital and nursing fees.

  • Aftercare scope: “all‑inclusive” packages vs itemised follow‑ups and dressings.

  • Fillers variables: brand used, ml per session, and number of top‑ups per year.

  • Fat transfer specifics: areas harvested/grafted and staged sessions extend time and fees.

  • Revisions/secondary surgery: rarely included; separate pricing applies.


Ask for an itemised estimate (surgeon, anaesthetist, facility, device, aftercare) so you can compare true totals across providers.


Longevity and maintenance: cost per year comparison


Headline prices don’t tell you long‑term value—longevity does. Chin implants and sliding genioplasty are designed to be permanent, while HA fillers typically last 6–18 months. Fat transfer often outlasts fillers but may need touch‑ups. An easy way to compare chin augmentation prices is to amortise spend across expected years of benefit.


cost per year = total treatment spend ÷ years of benefit


Option

Example UK price

Assumed schedule

Rough cost per year (5‑year view)

Chin implant (regional)

£5,000

One‑off

~£1,000/yr

Chin implant (London)

£7,000

One‑off

~£1,400/yr

Sliding genioplasty

£7,800 (from)

One‑off

~£1,560/yr

HA chin filler (regional)

£500/session

1–2 sessions/yr

~£500–£1,000/yr

HA chin filler (London)

£800/session

1–2 sessions/yr

~£800–£1,600/yr

Fat transfer (regional)

£4,200

No top‑up in 5y

~£840/yr

Fat transfer (London)

£7,000

No top‑up in 5y

~£1,400/yr


These are illustrative only. Your “cost per year” will vary with anatomy, product volume, top‑up frequency, and whether revisions are ever needed. Implants/genioplasty may involve no maintenance for years, while fillers have predictable repeat costs; fat grafting durability varies by patient and technique.


Recovery and downtime: what to expect and plan for


Downtime depends on the method. HA fillers allow an immediate return to normal activity, with mild soreness for a few days. Chin implants are typically day‑case; expect swelling/bruising and a return to routine in around 5–7 days, with most back to full activity by about 2 weeks. Sliding genioplasty usually needs longer: plan 5–7 days off work, light exercise at 2 weeks, and strenuous activity at roughly 6 weeks.


  • Sleep elevated: keep your head up for 1–2 weeks to reduce swelling.

  • Eat soft/liquid initially: especially if you have an incision inside the mouth; avoid hard chewing for several days.

  • Follow meds and mouth/skin care: take prescribed analgesia and use any advised mouth rinses or wound care.

  • Avoid strenuous exercise: until your surgeon clears you.

  • Arrange transport: no driving for 24 hours after general anaesthesia or sedation.

  • Attend follow‑ups: to monitor healing and adjust care if needed.


Combining treatments: rhinoplasty, neck liposuction and more


Combining procedures can deliver a more harmonious profile than a single change alone. UK clinics commonly pair chin implants or sliding genioplasty with rhinoplasty, and some combine with facelifts or neck lifts to sharpen the jawline and reduce signs of ageing. If you’re exploring combined surgery, expect the total fee to rise with added theatre time and anaesthesia; always request an itemised estimate so you know how it affects your chin augmentation prices and recovery.


  • Rhinoplasty + chin implant/genioplasty: balances nose–chin projection in one plan.

  • Neck liposuction or neck lift: refines the cervicomental angle and jawline definition.

  • Facelift (selected cases): enhances lower‑face support alongside chin projection.

  • Dermal fillers or fat transfer: fine‑tunes contour and soft‑tissue balance around the chin.


Financing and payment options


Big‑ticket treatments like implants or genioplasty are often financed. Many UK clinics offer pay‑in‑full, instalments, or third‑party finance, including 0% options (available at Wigmore Smiles & Aesthetics). Before you commit, ask for an itemised quote and a finance illustration showing monthly payments, total repayable, and any set‑up or cancellation fees.


  • 0% finance: subject to status, fixed monthly instalments.

  • Interest‑bearing plans: longer terms with lower monthly outlay.

  • Deposits: pay a deposit to book; balance before surgery.

  • Staged payments: pay‑per‑session for fillers; stage fat‑graft top‑ups.

  • Know the terms: confirm cooling‑off, refunds, and early‑repayment rules.


Risks, revisions and warranties: budgeting for the unexpected


Every option carries risks—and potential extra costs. For surgical augmentation, published clinic guidance cites infection, haematoma, implant shift, nerve irritation and unfavourable scarring as recognised complications. Fillers are temporary and can need additional product; fat transfer can partially resorb and sometimes needs touch‑ups. Because most quotes are “from” prices, set aside a contingency and clarify revision terms up front so your chin augmentation price reflects real‑world scenarios.


  • Revision policy: Is a revision included within a time window—or fully chargeable?

  • What’s covered: Distinguish any implant device warranty from surgeon, anaesthetist and hospital fees.

  • Complication pathway: Costs if infection requires implant removal/replacement or repositioning.

  • Aftercare scope: Number of included follow‑ups, dressings, imaging, and any emergency reviews.


How to choose a safe, qualified provider


Your result—and your total spend—hinges on who treats you. Prioritise safety, training and transparent quoting over the cheapest chin augmentation prices. A thorough consultation should clarify suitability (implant vs genioplasty vs fillers), risks, downtime and aftercare before you commit.


  • Check credentials: GMC (doctors) or GDC (dentists) registration; relevant training in plastic, maxillofacial or facial aesthetics.

  • Facility standards: CQC‑inspected clinic, accredited theatre; GMC‑registered anaesthetist for general anaesthesia.

  • Experience and results: surgeon’s case volume, complication rates, and before/after photos for cases like yours.

  • Clinical judgment: assessment of bite/overbite and profile; clear rationale for technique choice and any combos.

  • Transparent costs: itemised quote (surgeon, anaesthetist, facility, devices/products, aftercare) so you can compare like‑for‑like.

  • Risks and revisions in writing: what’s included, what triggers extra fees, and the revision policy time window.

  • Aftercare access: scheduled reviews and emergency contact during recovery.
