Prosthetic implants is a broad label for artificial devices placed in the body; this page covers facial implants such as chin, cheek and jaw implants and explains how other types differ.

Prosthetic implants can mean breast, calf, penile, joint or dental implants, each involving very different surgery and costs.

UF Health makes clear that facial implants are generally made of silicone or porous polyethylene and placed under general anaesthesia, with risks including infection, asymmetry, shifting and numbness from nerve irritation, while allergy is rare.

UF Health observes that swelling and bruising generally settle within a few weeks and most patients return to normal activities in one to two weeks.

Implants might later need revision or replacement.

Fitness to fly: aviation guidance does not give a figure for cosmetic surgery, so book your flight after the wound check and move around the cabin regularly.

In Chennai, the price of prosthetic implants is generally built from these parts:

• Tests before surgery: blood work, an ECG and an anaesthetic review.
• Theatre and anaesthetic: billed largely on operating time.
• Surgeon's fee: which reflects experience.
• GST: may be charged, because cosmetic surgery does not count as exempt healthcare.
• Which implant: facial, breast, calf, penile, joint or dental.
• Material and size: silicone or polyethylene.
• Anaesthesia: generally general.
• Follow-up: and possible revision.

The page name is broad, so confirm the exact procedure with the Chennai hospital before comparing estimates.
