Cheek Augmentation Cost in Gurgaon, India

The cost of cheek augmentation in Gurgaon typically ranges from $620 to $6,000 USD (about ₹58,800 to ₹5.69 lakh), depending on the hospital, room category and type of procedure.

A typical estimate for cheek augmentation in Gurgaon is around $2,000 (about ₹1.90 lakh). What you pay depends mainly on your own case. If one area is treated and you go home the same day, your bill is likely to be closer to $620 (about ₹58,800). It is likely to be nearer $6,000 (about ₹5.69 lakh) if several procedures are combined, the operation takes longer, you stay overnight or you choose a more senior surgeon.

When comparing Gurgaon packages for cheek augmentation, check whether each quote includes:

• Surgeon and anaesthetist fees
• Operating theatre or procedure room
• Dressings, splints or garments
• GST
• Hospital stay and room category
• Medicines and consumables
• Follow-up visits before you fly home

Cheek augmentation adds volume or definition to the cheeks with implants, your own fat or injectable fillers.

UF Health points out that cheek implants are normally silicone or porous polyethylene and placed under general anaesthesia, whereas fat grafting uses your own fat, some of which may be reabsorbed.

Bupa points out that hyaluronic acid fillers can define the cheeks and last about six months to two years.

For implants, UF Health names infection, shifting, asymmetry and nerve numbness; for fillers, rare but serious risks include a blocked blood vessel.

After implants, swelling settles over a few weeks and the majority of people resume normal activity in one to two weeks, whereas fillers involve little downtime.

Flying home: aviation guidance does not cover cosmetic surgery, so wait for the surgeon's wound check before flying and get up to walk regularly during the flight.

A Gurgaon quote for cheek augmentation is normally made up of these items:

• Tests before surgery: bloods, an ECG and an anaesthetic check.
• Theatre and anaesthesia: set mostly by operating time.
• Surgeon's fees: which vary with experience.
• Tax: GST can appear on the bill, since cosmetic surgery sits outside the healthcare exemption.
• Method: implant, fat or filler.
• Anaesthesia: general for implants, local for fillers.
• Repeat treatment: as fillers wear off.
• Follow-up: after surgery.

Cosmetic surgery in Gurgaon is normally paid for privately, so check whether the quote includes GST, the anaesthetist, compression garments and follow-up visits.

Gurgaon has plastic surgery services in both hospitals and day-care clinics, and for anything under general anaesthesia an on-site intensive care unit adds a margin of safety.

NABH, the hospital accreditation board of the Quality Council of India whose standards carry ISQua accreditation, sets the national benchmark for hospitals, and its online directory shows whether a Gurgaon hospital's accreditation is still current.

Before booking cosmetic surgery in Gurgaon, check that the surgeon is listed on the National Medical Commission's Indian Medical Register and ask for their medical council registration number.

Haryana adopted the national Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2010 in 2018, starting with larger private hospitals, so you can ask a Gurgaon hospital for its registration under the Act.
