Find out what factors you should take into account to ensure your operation is carried out in complete safety.
Breast augmentation is a complex surgical procedure. For this reason, it involves a number of associated costs which are reflected in the final price, ensuring that everything is carried out in accordance with the strictest safety standards.
The final cost of the project includes, in particular:
- Operating theatre: hire of the premises, equipment, instruments and necessary medicines;
- Specialist medical team: fees for the lead plastic surgeon, the assistant plastic surgeon and the anaesthetist;
- Nursing support: a nurse is present throughout the entire operation;
- High-quality materials: use of top-of-the-range consumables and equipment.
Beware of unusually low prices: quotes that are significantly lower than average for this type of surgery can be a warning sign. This often involves the use of materials of dubious quality, less qualified staff, or even a failure to adhere to essential hygiene and sterilisation procedures in the operating theatre.
At RC Plástica, a breast augmentation procedure carried out by Dr Ricardo Carvalho — in strict compliance with all the safety standards mentioned — costs from 4950€.
