According to 2008 statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average surgeon's fee for cheek implants in 2008 was approximately $2,553 to $2,713. Fees vary based on the surgeon's level of expertise. Costs can be higher, of course, in metropolitan areas than in less-populated cities.

Some of the cost may be covered by insurance if the procedure is a medical necessity. Ask your plastic surgeon about filing for insurance. Purely cosmetic procedures are not covered by insurance.

If the cost is too much to pay at once, ask your surgeon about monthly payments.

However, lab fees for blood tests, x-rays, and other associated costs must also be considered. Depending on the surgeon and the related medical fees, cheek augmentation cost can range from $2,400 to $5,000.

The cost of cheek implants may be greatly reduced if the procedure is done in conjunction with another facial plastic surgery procedure.
