Kind board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Hisham Seify provides cheek implants to patients in Newport Beach, Orange County, CA, and surrounding locations across the horizon.
Extent of the Procedure
Cheek augmentation typically involves the placement of pre-made implants comprising either silicone or another synthetic substance.
The surgeon may have to sculpt the implant to suit the patient’s facial structure. The surgeon typically undertakes this procedure under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation. This helps the patient to remain comfortable during the surgery and helps avoid the costs associated with general anesthesia.
But the surgeon may employ monitored anesthesia care (MAC) if the surgery is performed along with another procedure. This will involve the charges of an anesthesiologist or a registered nurse anesthetist. If necessary, the surgeon will perform cheek augmentation with another facial surgery such as eyelift or facelift. This will increase the procedure’s total sticker price as well.
At times, the surgeon may make use of FDA approved soft tissue fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm, or Radiesse along with cheek implant surgery for enhanced results. This will slightly increase the overall cost of cheek augmentation.
Surgeon’s Fee
A plastic surgeon who is highly qualified and experienced may charge a higher fee than a less experienced surgeon performing the plastic surgery under the guidance of a senior surgeon. Hard working and pragmatic board certified plastic surgeons usually invest in cutting-edge surgical techniques, state-of-the-art technology, pursue ongoing education, adopt best practices and quality standards, and follow the latest safety protocols.
A board certified plastic surgeon would not compromise on the quality of care to reduce costs. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), patients should work with the best surgeon for their requirements. Considerations such as the surgeon’s fees should only come second while making such decisions.
Location of the Practice
The monetary amount of goods and services in busy metropolitan cities is usually higher than in sparsely populated areas in interior towns. The cost of living and real estate costs impact the average costs of goods and services in various locations. Patients should understand these cost variations and be cognizant that cheek augmentation surgery financial responsibilities may differ between geographical locations.
