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

• GST

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

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

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

For implants, UF Health lists 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 most people resume normal activity in one to two weeks, while fillers involve little downtime.

Fit-to-fly window: UK aviation guidance gives no figure for cosmetic surgery, so book the flight after the surgeon's wound review and walk regularly on board.

A Delhi estimate for cheek augmentation is usually built from these parts:

• Tests before surgery: blood tests, ECG and anaesthetic review.
• Operating theatre and anaesthesia: billed largely by time in theatre.
• Surgeon grade: fees vary with the plastic surgeon's experience.
• GST: may apply, as cosmetic surgery is not exempt healthcare.
• 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 Delhi is usually self-paid. Check whether the quote covers GST, the anaesthetist, garments and review appointments.

Delhi has a wide choice of plastic surgery practices in hospitals and day-care clinics; for operations under general anaesthesia, a hospital with an intensive care unit on site gives a safety back-up.

India's national hospital standard is set by the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH), a constituent board of the Quality Council of India whose standards are accredited by ISQua; you can check a Delhi hospital's current NABH status on the NABH website.

Before booking cosmetic surgery in Delhi, you can check that the surgeon appears on the National Medical Commission's Indian Medical Register and ask for the doctor's medical council registration number.

Private hospitals and nursing homes in Delhi must hold a registration from the Delhi government under the Delhi Nursing Homes Registration Act, 1953, so you can ask a hospital for its current registration certificate.
