A typical estimate for fat injection in Gurgaon is around $3,500 (about ₹3.32 lakh). What you pay depends mainly on your own case.

When comparing Gurgaon packages for fat injection, check whether each quote includes:

• Surgeon and anaesthetist fees

• Dressings, splints or garments
• GST
• Hospital stay and room category
• Medicines and consumables
• Follow-up visits before you fly home

Fat injection (fat transfer or grafting) takes fat from one part of the body by liposuction and injects it into another, including the face, breasts or buttocks, to add volume.

The NHS says that fat is taken by liposuction from areas including the abdomen or thighs, processed to separate it from blood and fluid and injected in small amounts, in a procedure that normally takes about two hours.

Some of the injected fat is reabsorbed, so results vary, can take up to six months to show and might need further sessions, and fat transfer is also used in reconstructive surgery.

Bruising and swelling commonly last a few weeks, and some people take a couple of weeks off work.

The NHS names bleeding, infection and clots, hard lumps from fat that dies, and fat entering the bloodstream (fat embolism), and points out that the Brazilian butt lift has the highest death rate of any cosmetic procedure.

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 fat injection 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.
• Area: face, breast or buttocks.
• Sessions: commonly more than one.
• Anaesthesia: local or general.
• Recovery: a few weeks.

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.

Where a Gurgaon hospital has an international patient desk, ask whether it can issue the letter for your e-Medical visa and help with airport pickup, interpreters and a place to stay nearby.
