Facial Implants Cost in Bangalore, India

Facial implants are solid shaped implants placed over the bones of the chin, cheeks or jaw to add permanent projection and change facial contour.

Fillers give temporary volume without surgery, fat transfer adds soft volume using your own fat and bone surgery such as sliding genioplasty reshapes the chin.

Implants give permanent projection, though they can be removed.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons lists infection, implant shifting, nerve injury, firmness, irregular contours and revision surgery among the risks. Infection is the main reason implants are removed.

Swelling settles over several weeks, and soft foods are advised after cuts inside the mouth.

Flying home: allow about a week so the surgeon can check swelling and the incisions before travel, as antibiotics may continue meanwhile.

The cost of facial implants in Bangalore typically ranges from $1,700 to $6,350 USD (about ₹1.61 lakh to ₹6.02 lakh), depending on the hospital, room category and type of procedure.
