The average cost of cheek implants is $3,669, the average cost of chin augmentation is $3,137 and the average cost of lip augmentation (without injectable fillers) is $2,299, according to the most recent statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Please consult with your plastic surgeon's office to determine your final fee.

A surgeon's fee for facial implants will be based on his or her experience, the type of procedure used and the geographic office location.

Many plastic surgeons offer patient financing plans for facial implants, so be sure to ask.

Facial implant costs may include:

• Anesthesia fees
• Hospital or surgical facility costs
• Medical tests
• Prescriptions for medication
• Surgeon's fee

When choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area for facial implants, remember that the surgeon's experience and your comfort with him or her are just as important as the final cost of the surgery.

Are facial implants covered by health insurance?

Most health insurance plans will not cover facial implant surgery, related complications or another surgery to revise the appearance of your face. You must carefully review your health insurance policy.
