As a plastic surgeon at Estetikcentrum , I am often asked about the costs associated with different types of plastic surgery procedures. Understanding the costs can be crucial for many people considering cosmetic surgery. It's not just about the surgery itself, but also about a range of factors that combine to influence the final price.

Why do costs vary?

Plastic surgery prices can vary a lot depending on several factors. Firstly, costs depend on the type of procedure you are considering. Common procedures such as breast augmentation, liposuction, rhinoplasty and facelifts can have different price ranges. In general, you can expect to pay between €30,000 and €80,000 for most major surgeries, while smaller procedures can cost from €10,000 upwards.

Costs to keep track of

When going for plastic surgery, it is important to understand that there are several different costs that are added to the total price:

1. Surgical cost: This is the cost of the procedure itself and is usually the biggest cost factor.
2. Anesthesia: The cost of anesthesia is another significant component. Depending on the type of anesthesia (local or general), it can affect the total cost quite a lot.
3. Clinic fees: Performing the surgery in a high-standard clinic may involve higher fees. The fees cover things like the operating room, medical equipment and aftercare.
4. Aftercare and check-ups: After surgery, follow-up and any aftercare is important, which in turn can also affect the total cost. With us, you always get free aftercare check-ups with a nurse or surgeon.
5. Prescription medicines: After a plastic surgery procedure, it is not uncommon to need to take painkillers to cope with the first few days. We recommend that you include this cost in your budget.
6. Possible complications: In rare cases, complications may occur that require further treatment. With us at Estetikcentrum you get a peace of mind guarantee included in the price.
