It is important to highlight that it is common for many doubts to arise on the subject, from the choice of the type of silicone prosthesis to the price of surgery.

All these questions can only be answered within an office, but the costs of a silicone implant surgery can vary according to several factors, such as geographic location, experience of the plastic surgeon, type of implant used, among others. In general, the items that can make up the price of a silicone surgery include:

• Pre-surgical consultations;
• Preoperative exams;
• Plastic surgeon’s fees;
• Acquisition and choice of silicone prosthesis: The value of the implant may vary according to the size and format chosen;
• Costs of surgical support professionals: These costs involve professionals such as anesthesiologist and surgical instrumentator and can be requested separately;
• Hospital fees;

• Post-operative care: drains, medications, surgical bra, among others;
