Cheek Augmentation Cost in United Arab Emirates

The cost of cheek augmentation in the UAE typically ranges from $2,000 to $18,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

Cheek augmentation gives the cheekbones more volume or definition, using implants, the patient's own fat or dermal fillers. In the UAE, the cost depends on:

• Technique: surgical implants, fat transfer or injectable filler.
• Implant details: size, material or a custom design.
• Anaesthetic: general for implants, local for fillers.
• Maintenance: fillers need repeating.

Cheek fillers in the UAE are usually priced per syringe, while implants are priced as surgery. Check which option a quote covers.

UF Health notes that cheek implants are usually made of silicone or porous polyethylene and inserted under general anaesthetic. Fat transfer uses the body's own tissue, although part of it is reabsorbed. Bupa notes that hyaluronic acid fillers can define the cheeks and last roughly six months to two years.

UF Health lists infection, movement of the implant, asymmetry and numbness after implant surgery. Fillers can, rarely, block a blood vessel, which needs urgent treatment.

In Dubai, DHA non-surgical cosmetic standards set out who may give injectable treatments and require practitioners to work within their licensed scope.

After implants, swelling fades over a few weeks and most people return to normal activities within one to two weeks. Fillers involve little downtime beyond mild swelling for a few days.

Cheek augmentation is cosmetic and is not covered by basic UAE insurance.
