The cost of plastic surgery is a topic that generates many doubts and expectations among patients. While some are looking for the lowest price, others prefer to pay more for a reputable clinic. However, it is essential to understand that price should not be the only criterion for making a decision. The safety, quality and experience of the professionals who will carry out the procedure are determining factors that, in the long run, can avoid complications and additional costs.
In this blog, we will explore the factors that determine the price of plastic surgery and why choosing a certified clinic, with specialized personnel and procedures endorsed by health authorities, is crucial to guarantee satisfactory and safe results. In addition, we will tell you why in CLINIQ We include all stages of the process — preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative — within our budget, to give you a comprehensive experience without surprise costs.
What influences the cost of plastic surgery?
When looking for the price of plastic surgery, it is common to find significant variations between different clinics. Why does this happen? The cost difference can be due to multiple factors, including:
- Clinic certification and accreditations: a clinic certified under international standards such as ISO 9001-2015 and regulated by Superintendence of Health and the Secretary of Health of the city, as is the case with CLINIQ, guarantees quality processes, safe installations and highly qualified professionals. These certifications involve additional costs that are reflected in the price, but are an investment that ensures a safe and effective care environment.
- Surgeon’s experience and specialization: Surgeons with years of experience and specialization in specific procedures tend to have higher fees, since their expertise and professional career ensure better results and lower risk of complications.
- Clinical infrastructure and technology: Clinics with own operating rooms, equipped with advanced technology and support from specialized medical equipment, offer a higher level of safety during the procedure. These elements represent an added value that is reflected in the cost.
- Materials and devices used: The use of state-of-the-art equipment also influences the final cost of surgery. High quality materials and recognized brands offer greater durability and safety, which increases the price, but minimizes risks in the long term.
- Process stages: Many clinics advertise low prices, but do not include all the necessary phases in plastic surgery. It is essential that the budget contemplates the preoperative, with evaluations and medical examinations; the intraoperative, which covers all the expenses of the operating room, anesthesia and surgical equipment; and the postoperative, with reviews, complementary treatments and personalized follow-up. On CLINIQ, all these stages are included, providing transparency and tranquility to our patients.
What risks does it mean to choose an economic option?
Choosing a plastic surgery based on the lower price may seem like a saving opportunity, but it can actually lead to serious health and pocket consequences. Opting for a non-certified clinic or a surgeon without the right credentials can result in:
- MEDICAL COMPLICATIONS: Clinics that do not comply with health regulations can increase the risk of infections, unwanted scars, and other problems that may require additional treatment and higher expenses.
- Unsatisfactory aesthetic results: An inadequate or inadequate surgeon may not achieve the expected results, leading to correction procedures that significantly raise the total cost.
- Hidden costs: Some clinics offer low starting prices, but do not include preoperative consultations, medical exams, anesthesiologist fees, postoperative follow-up, or recovery treatments. This can lead to a much higher final cost than initially estimated.
Studies and Data: The Importance of Choosing a Certified Clinic
recent studies of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) They point out that 40% of post-surgical complications in plastic surgeries are due to lack of adequate training of medical personnel or uncertified facilities. Of this percentage, 25% of the cases required a second intervention to correct the problem. In addition, a survey of patients who opted for surgeries in non-certified clinics showed that 60% reported some degree of dissatisfaction with the results.
On the other hand, the Superintendence of Health It has issued alerts about the increase in cases of complications in unregulated clinics. The authorities always recommend verifying the clinic’s licenses and accreditations, as well as the experience and certifications of the surgeon.
Patient Opinions: Real Testimonials
Experiences of patients who have gone through procedures in uncertified clinics show that cheap can be very expensive. “I decided to have surgery at a lower priced clinic and ended up with scars that I didn’t expect. I had to have a second surgery to correct them and, in the end, I ended up spending more than the clinic cost with better references.”, says Carolina R., a patient that we now serve in CLINIQ.
On the other hand, those who have opted for clinics with high standards highlight tranquility and security as the main benefits. “I chose Cliniq because its comprehensive approach and certifications gave me confidence.
