How much does a breast augmentation cost? The amounts you should know...
A cosmetic surgery is still a surgery and therefore has several associated costs so that the surgery meets all the necessary standards, including monitoring during and after the operation, the quality of the materials used, anaesthesia, etc. This surgery can only be carried out by a qualified doctor; spending less could mean leaving your physical appearance and health in the hands of someone who doesn't know what they're doing.

- Nurse's pay
- Cost of silicone implants superior quality
- Bra and sash
- Review consultations
- Lymphatic drainage for recovery
After seeing this list, do you still think it's possible to have an implant for less than 2000€ or 3000€? To all these costs, clinics or surgeons also have to add the rent for the premises where they work, maintenance costs (water, electricity, etc.), payments to administrative staff, taxes, etc. So it's easy to see that if someone is charging you for a service at cost price (or even below), something must be wrong.
