Find out the price of a mastopexy in Portugal
The Mastopexy, also known as breast lift or breast lift, breast augmentation, is a plastic surgery procedure much sought after by women who want to correct sagging breasts and regain the firmness and natural shape of their breasts after pregnancy, weight loss or due to the natural ageing of the body. Here you can see various before and after images of mastopexy with prostheses and mastopexy without prostheses.
Before making the decision to have a breast lift, it's important to consider both the aesthetic benefits and the total cost involved. It is therefore essential to assess the budget available and choose the option that best suits your needs and expectations, bearing in mind that a lower price is not always the best option because, in the end, “cheap can be expensive”.
How much does a mastopexy cost in Portugal? Find out the amounts involved
Even in 2024, there are still many doubts about the price of a Mastopexy in Portugal. According to data from the Portuguese Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (SPCPRE), the average price of a breast lift in Portugal ranges from 4,000 to 6,000 euros. However, this figure is only an estimate and can vary according to each specific case and various factors, such as:
- Medical feesMedical fees are one of the main expenses to consider when carrying out a Mastopexy in Portugal. Costs vary according to the experience and qualifications of the surgeon, the geographical location of the clinic, the type of procedure to be performed, among other factors. Some plastic surgeons may be paid a flat fee for the procedure, while others may be paid on an hourly basis. In general, medical fees are between 2,500 and 4,000 euros.
- Surgical materialsThe cost of the procedure is also added to the total cost of the procedure, such as the drugs used for anaesthesia, sutures, dressings and breast pads, and all the post-operative support.
- Breast implantsIf the patient wishes to have a breast lift and simultaneously increase the size of her breasts, it is necessary to have breast implants fitted. The price of these implants can vary according to the type, shape, size and brand chosen. In this case, the surgery time is longer, as well as the cost of the materials and the complexity of the procedure, which means that the price of Mastopexy with breast implants is generally higher than the price of Mastopexy without implants, and this difference can vary between 1,000 and 3,000 euros.
- Pre-operative examinationsBefore having a mastopexy, some preoperative tests must be carried out to ensure that the patient is in good health. These tests can include blood tests, x-rays and other medical examinations and the cost can vary depending on the clinic you choose, but in general it is between 200 and 500 euros.
- AnaesthesiaThe cost of mastopexy is determined by the type of anaesthetic used and the duration of the procedure. In general, the cost of anaesthesia can vary between 500 and 1000 euros.
- HospitalisationDepending on the type of Mastopexy performed and the patient's recovery, it may be necessary to stay in hospital for a few hours or even overnight. The cost of hospitalisation can vary depending on where the procedure is carried out and the length of stay required. In general, the cost can be between 500 and 1000 euros.
- MedicinesAfter this procedure, it is common to be prescribed medication, such as painkillers and antibiotics, to help the patient recover. The cost of these drugs can also vary according to the doctor's prescription and is generally between 50 and 200 euros.
- Post-operative consultationsAfter the surgical procedure, some post-operative appointments are necessary to monitor the patient's recovery. The cost of these appointments may be included in the doctor's fees or charged separately. In general, the price of each consultation can vary between 50 and 100 euros.
Do you really want to risk a low-price mastopexy?
When assessing the cost of a Mastopexy (with or without prostheses) in Portugal, it is essential that the patient is fully aware of what is included in the final price of the procedure and what additional costs she should consider, which may differ from clinic to clinic.
In addition, it's important to remember that the price of surgery shouldn't be the only factor to take into account when choosing a clinic and plastic surgeon. The clinic's reputation, facilities and post-operative support should also be taken into account, choosing a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon. After all, this is a complex and delicate surgery that requires technical skill, in-depth technical knowledge and a personalised approach to each patient, in order to guarantee safer treatment, minimise the risk of complications and ensure a more satisfactory result that meets the patient's expectations and needs. It is important to check their training, specialisation and experience in the field, for example by consulting the website of the Medical Association. You should research the surgeon's reputation, consult reviews from other patients and assess their portfolio (previous work). In addition, you should have a prior consultation with the plastic surgeon in order to clarify any doubts, discuss expectations and assess whether there is good communication and empathy between the parties.
In short, price shouldn't be the only factor to consider, as the quality of the service, the reputation of the clinic and the experience of the plastic surgeon are fundamental to the safety and success of Mastopexy. For this reason, it is recommended that you carry out thorough research and consult with your selected medical specialists before making a decision. Only in this way can you guarantee the best choice for your case.
