What jaw, cheekbone and chin surgery cost in Bangkok
On 2 November 2026 we looked for the facial bone and implant prices that Bangkok hospitals and clinics publish on their own websites. One hospital, which updated its pages in July and October 2026, publishes them all; one clinic, which updated its price list in September 2026, publishes a chin implant price. The jaw and cheekbone prices come from the hospital alone:
| What the surgeon does | Published prices |
|---|---|
| Jaw-angle reduction, for a square jaw | 98,000 baht through a cut under the jaw or 139,000 baht through a cut inside the mouth, with two nights, at the hospital. |
| V-shape chin, narrowing the chin bone | 92,000 baht on its own, with one night, or 70,000 baht added to jaw-angle reduction; 150,000 baht for a V-shape genioplasty, with two nights, at the hospital. |
| Cheekbone reduction | 99,000 baht by grinding the bone, with one night, or 165,000 baht by cutting and moving it, with two nights, at the hospital. |
| Chin implant | 45,500 baht for a standard implant or 60,500 baht for a soft one, without a night, at the hospital; from 69,000 baht at the clinic. |
| Moving the chin bone forward (sliding genioplasty) | 140,000 baht, with two nights, at the hospital. |
| Cheek implant | 60,500 baht under local anaesthesia, or 91,000 baht under general anaesthesia with one night, at the hospital. |
| Revising surgery done before | 139,000 to 185,000 baht for the jaw angle, 115,000 or 215,000 baht for the cheekbones and 55,500 to 70,500 baht for a chin implant at the hospital. |
What the price covers
The hospital's prices cover the surgeon, the anaesthesia and the stated nights; flights and a hotel are not included. Jaw, cheekbone and chin work are often planned together to balance the face, and the hospital quotes combined plans at the consultation. Ask whether yours covers:
- the scans and tests before surgery;
- the anaesthetist and the nights in hospital;
- plates or screws, if the bone is fixed;
- medicine and follow-up visits.
Which operation
Jaw-angle reduction trims the bone at the corner of the jaw to soften a square lower face. The hospital usually works through a cut inside the mouth, which leaves no facial scar and costs more; a cut under the jaw is the other route. Cheekbone reduction either grinds the cheekbone down or cuts and moves it for a larger change, through cuts inside the mouth and sometimes at the hairline.
For a small chin, a silicone implant is placed on the chin bone under local anaesthesia in about an hour; a sliding genioplasty cuts the chin bone, moves it forward and fixes it with screws under general anaesthesia. The hospital says an implant can stay for life if there are no complications.
How long to stay, and recovery
Bone surgery is done under general anaesthesia, with one or two nights in hospital. For cheekbone reduction the hospital advises staying near Bangkok for 7 to 10 days; after jaw surgery the first follow-up is within one to two weeks. A chin implant is a day case.
Expect swelling and soreness for two to three weeks after jaw surgery, and a soft diet while the cuts inside the mouth heal, with gentle mouthwash rather than vigorous brushing. Swelling after cheekbone reduction eases by the second week; the final shape takes 6 to 12 months. After a chin implant, pain and swelling settle in one to two weeks, and up to three weeks after the bone is moved.
Risks
The hospital lists bleeding, infection, slow healing, uneven sides and the need for revision. Nerve injury can leave the lower lip and jaw numb or weak after jaw surgery. With a chin implant, the skin over it can thin over time, and a blow to the chin can move it.
Check the surgeon
Only a doctor registered and licensed by the Medical Council of Thailand may practise medicine (Medical Profession Act 1982, section 26). You can check a doctor on the Medical Council's website by searching their first name and surname, in Thai or in English. It lists only licensed doctors. If you find nothing, the Council answers on 02-590-1887.
No one may present themselves as skilled in a field of medicine unless they hold the Medical Council's certificate for it, or one the Council recognises, or meet criteria set in the Council's regulations (section 28). Ask which certificate your surgeon holds, and check the name you are given.
What to ask before you pay
- Which bone will be trimmed or moved, and where will the cuts be?
- Are the scans, plates and screws included?
- How many nights in hospital, and when is the first follow-up?
- When can I fly home?
- What does a revision cost if I need one?
- What is the surgeon's full name, and which Medical Council certificate do they hold?
