Breast augmentation: the costs, how it works and why the "cost" approach is wrong

Breast augmentation Costs: it is a thorny issue, which is addressed right from the first preliminary visit. Getting a breast augmentation is a surgical operation without particular complications, but this "absence of complications" does not arise by chance. 

In fact, fixed points are necessary: the preparation of the aesthetic doctor, the preparation of the people involved in the operation, the high quality of the prostheses, the length of stay in a health facility with all the paperwork in order, etc.

All these characteristics have costs that are needed to guarantee the excellent result of the operation. How the costs for a breast augmentation are estimated and how to orient yourself to achieve a truly successful operation?

Breast augmentation costs: what are the items to pay attention to

For the breast augmentation costs which are indicative until you do the preliminary visit and make some important choices. 

In fact, for breast augmentation it is necessary to understand not only how the breast looks and its shape, but also which are the best prostheses, of which materials, when the operation will take place and what is the availability of the relevant healthcare facility for the 'operation.

To get an indicative idea, for one Breast augmentation costs vary from 5000 to 8000 euros. However, if we are talking about thick breasts, where there are defects to be resolved (such as sagging breasts) the costs rise up to 10 thousand euros. 

This is to get a general overview of the costs, but how are the calculations made, given that these are only the costs of the surgery and not with the pre- and post-surgery visits?

Breast augmentation: high costs? Actually no

As a surgeon, I feel like dispelling a myth: a breast augmentation has costs that guarantee standards and the health of patients, they are not high. Below is a short demonstration.

For breast augmentation surgery, you will need:

• have a surgeon specialized in aesthetics available. This means having at least 20 years of study behind you, between General Medicine and then the related specializations in surgery and then for aesthetic purposes. In addition to his studies, the doctor must have passed the entrance exam to the Register in order to operate within the professional association. Then, there is the experience gained during professional activity and constant training, thanks to refresher courses. Finally, the doctor must also be an easy-going person, to reassure the patient along his journey.
• have a healthcare facility available. The structure must guarantee high standards of hygiene and sterilization of work tools, also to avoid any risk of infection linked to the operation. The structure must guarantee an ad hoc resuscitation room in case of unforeseen events.
• have the support of an anesthetist, because the operation is performed with the patient completely asleep with general anesthesia. If the person wakes up before the end of the operation, it is natural that the anesthetist must be ready to intervene.
• obtain valid prostheses to guarantee your health. This applies to all gauze, suture threads, plasters and everything needed for the success of the operation.
• manage the patient's stay when it is necessary to take hospital days. Day hospital admission also has its cost.

Breast augmentation: the wrong approach of evaluating costs alone

Take an overview of the Breast augmentation costs are excellent for understanding roughly what the budget might be which is used to get breast augmentation. Looking for the costs of breast augmentation to find a discount, however, is completely wrong. In fact, requesting a discount, or trying to save something, is a big risk.

To be able to request a discount, those conditions which are the only ones that guarantee health must be absent. More, all professionals can do little about the costs and it's easy to say why. The costs of the hospital or clinic, for example, do not depend on the cosmetic surgeon.

The same goes for prostheses, the cost of which depends on the company that produces them, the materials used and the tests that are used to obtain valid prostheses. 

It is natural that the latest generation prostheses have lower costs than the first productions of prostheses, precisely because of innovation, but the savings are still minimal in the face of a significant expense.

Having your breasts redone while supporting the costs of a breast augmentation means having a more florid and sensual breast, firm and unique, ideal for wearing any dress and for feeling confident in yourself. In addition, the operation has costs that guarantee a natural effect.
