Breast Augmentation: the prices in Portugal | Lisbon
If you are considering getting a breast augmentation in Portugal, you will be concerned, among other aspects, with the price you will pay. After all, this is an aspect that we all take into consideration before making this kind of investment. Before talking about prices, you may view several examples of Before and After Augmentation Mammoplasty here.
However, there are some concerns to be taken into consideration... It is said that cheap can be expensive and when it comes to breast augmentation surgery (also known as boob job), as in other issues related to medical treatments, what at first glance may seem like a good deal may turn out to be a nightmare for your wallet (for having to redo work of poor quality) and for your health.
Breast Augmentation: "discounts and sales"
Indeed, you have already searched the internet. And suppose your search was focused on the words "low-cost breast implants”, “breast augmentation prices" or "breast augmentation discounts". In that case, you may be surprised at the number of doctors, clinics, and beauty salons that offer "promotional prices", "implants at the best price" or even "cheap surgery". There are websites advertising prices under 3000 € when the value of this procedure is around 4000 to 5000 €. It is a case of saying: it seems too good to be true...
How much does a augmentation mammoplasty cost? The values you should know.
Aesthetic surgery is still surgery, and therefore it 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 performed by a qualified doctor; spending less can mean leaving your physical appearance and your health in the hands of someone who doesn't know what is doing.
In order to perform a breast augmentation, the following expenses must be considered, as a minimum:
- Operation of the operating theatre, including materials and medicines
- Payment of the anaesthetist
- Fees of the plastic surgeon
- Nurse's fees
- Cost of high-quality silicone breast implants
- Bra and girdle
- Revision visits
- Lymphatic drainage for recovery
After seeing this list, do you still think it is possible to have an implant for less than 2000€ or 3000€? To all these expenses, clinics or surgeons must also add the rental of the spaces where they work, maintenance expenses (water, electricity, etc.), payments to administrative staff, taxes, etc. Therefore, it is easy to see that if someone is charging you for a service at cost price (or even below), something must be wrong.
By lowering the price of the service, you will certainly be neglecting its quality, opting for low quality materials, hiring unqualified staff or even "cutting back" on hygiene and sanitary conditions. Postoperative complications, the appearance of infections or disappointing final results may be some of the consequences of low-cost surgical procedures. Not to mention the complications that may arise during surgery and that only a trained and qualified team can solve.
Do you really want to risk a low-priced augmentation of breast?
So, how do you know if the service you are being offered is really reliable? One way to find out if your surgeon is qualified to practice as a specialist in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery is to consult the portuguese Ordem dos Médicos website, where there is an updated list of doctors who can practice this specialty. Also, try to understand if the place where you intend to have the surgery has good references or if you have had problems in the past.
Making a comparison between prices can be a first step, but do not let the amount you pay for breast implants be the only factor to weigh in your final decision. The experience of the surgeon, the quality of the service provided, the quality of the materials used, and the existence of a well-prepared team are essential conditions for your operation to run smoothly. And this is priceless!
IS IT POSSIBLE TO ASK FOR FINANCING TO PERFORM AN AUGMENTATION MAMOPLASTY?
Yes, it is possible to obtain credit to undergo breast augmentation surgery. As a rule, this will be considered a personal credit and the financing request must be made to a bank or credit institution.
