Facial Implants Cost in United Arab Emirates

The cost of facial implants in the UAE typically ranges from $5,500 to $20,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

Facial implants are solid implants placed to add shape to the chin, cheeks or jaw. In the UAE, the price depends on:

• Implant site: chin, cheek or jaw.
• Implant material: such as silicone or porous polyethylene.
• Custom or standard implants: custom implants are designed from scans.
• Anaesthesia: general or local anaesthetic with sedation.

Implants are usually inserted through small cuts inside the mouth or in natural skin creases, then positioned over the bone. The procedure is usually done as a day case or with one night in hospital.

Alternatives include fillers, fat transfer and bone surgery, depending on the result wanted.

Facial implant surgery should be performed by a licensed plastic, maxillofacial or ENT surgeon in a licensed facility.

• Licensing: check the surgeon's licence with DHA, DOH or MOHAP.
• Implant details: keep a record of the implant type and size.
• Insurance: cosmetic facial implants are not covered by basic UAE plans.

Swelling usually settles over several weeks. Soft foods may be advised after implants placed through the mouth.

Risks include infection, implant movement, asymmetry, numbness and the need to remove or replace the implant.
