Investment in Plastic Surgery in Londrina: understand the value of your procedure
One of the most frequent questions I receive in the clinic is: "Doctor, how much does the surgery cost?" I completely understand this concern. After all, we are talking about a significant investment in your health, self-esteem, and quality of life. And that is exactly why I prefer to use the word investment instead of "cost".
A cost is something you spend and do not recover. An investment is something that returns to you in the form of benefits — and the benefits of well-performed plastic surgery accompany you for decades. The renewed confidence, the well-being of looking in the mirror, the freedom to wear whatever you want without embarrassment. That is priceless.
On this page, I want to be completely transparent about how investment in plastic surgery works at my clinic. I will not publish specific values — and I will explain exactly why — but I will clarify all the factors that influence the value, what is included, the available payment methods, and how you can obtain your personalised budget.
If you are researching plastic surgery prices in Londrina, this page will help you understand what really matters before making this decision.
Why we do not publish prices on the website
This is a legitimate question. If you have already searched "how much does plastic surgery cost", you have probably found websites with generic price tables. I have deliberately chosen not to follow this path, and the reason is simple: each patient is unique.
Publishing a fixed price would be dishonest because the investment varies significantly according to various individual factors. Two patients who want the same surgery may have completely different needs in terms of technical complexity, surgical time, type of anaesthesia, and length of hospital stay.
Furthermore, the Federal Council of Medicine (CFM) advises that the disclosure of prices for medical procedures should not be done in a promotional manner. I respect this guidance because it protects you: it ensures that your decision is based on the quality and safety of the procedure, not just on the lowest price.
How personalised budgeting works
During the first consultation, I examine you in detail, understand your goals, and develop an individualised surgical plan. Based on this plan, I present the complete and detailed budget, without surprises. You leave the consultation knowing exactly what is included and how much you will invest.
I also offer online consultation for patients from other cities who wish to have a preliminary assessment before travelling to Londrina.
Factors that influence the cost of plastic surgery
To help you understand why costs vary, I need to explain the main factors that make up the total investment. Each of them directly influences the final result and your safety.
Complexity of the procedure
A more complex surgery requires more time in the operating room, more technical skill, and more resources. A deep plane facelift with complete neck treatment, for example, demands five to six hours of meticulous work. A simple blepharoplasty takes about an hour. Naturally, the costs reflect this difference.
Associated procedures
Many patients choose to combine procedures in the same surgical time — such as abdominoplasty with liposuction, or facelift with blepharoplasty and fat grafting. Although the total cost is higher, the savings compared to doing each procedure separately are significant, as the costs of the operating room, anaesthesia, and hospitalisation are shared.
Type of anaesthesia
Minor procedures can be performed with local anaesthesia or sedation. Major surgeries require general anaesthesia, with a dedicated anaesthesia team monitoring every vital parameter throughout the procedure. Each modality has a specific cost.
Length of hospital stay
Some surgeries allow discharge on the same day. Others require one or two nights of hospitalisation for proper monitoring. The length of stay directly impacts the final cost.
Surgical materials and supplies
I use top-quality materials in all procedures: high-quality sutures, implants from internationally recognised brands, surgical meshes when necessary, specialised drains. The quality of the materials directly influences the result and recovery.
Surgeon's experience
With over twenty years of experience and more than eight thousand surgeries performed, I offer a level of safety and predictability of results that can only be achieved with decades of dedicated practice. My training with Professor Ivo Pitanguy and my affiliation with the SBCP and ASPS reflect this commitment to excellence.
What is included in your investment
Transparency is essential. When I present a budget, it includes everything you need for the complete procedure. There are no hidden costs or later surprises.
Before the surgery
Detailed pre-operative consultation: complete assessment, surgical planning, and clarification of all doubts.
Pre-operative instructions: detailed instructions on necessary tests, medications to discontinue, and preparation for the day of surgery.
On the day of surgery
Surgeon's fees: my technical work throughout the procedure.
Anaesthesia team: experienced anaesthetist dedicated exclusively to your procedure.
Operating room: use of a fully equipped and accredited operating room.
Surgical materials: all necessary supplies, without exception.
Hospitalisation: when necessary, for the period indicated for each procedure.
After the surgery
Follow-up consultations: post-operative follow-up included for the entire recovery period.
Dressings and reviews: all dressing changes and progress evaluations.
Long-term follow-up: monitoring of the result for months after the procedure.
Availability for questions: direct access to my team for any issues that arise during recovery.
This "all-inclusive" approach exists so that you can focus on what really matters: your recovery and your result. Without unexpected financial worries.
Payment methods
I understand that investing in plastic surgery requires financial planning. Therefore, I offer various payment methods to facilitate your decision:
Payment in full
We accept payment by bank transfer (PIX or TED) and cash. Payment in full may offer special conditions — please inquire during your assessment.
Credit card
Installments on credit cards in various conditions. The installment options are presented at the time of the budget, tailored to your financial planning.
Medical financing
We work with companies specialised in financing medical procedures, which offer extended terms with affordable instalments. These companies conduct their own credit analysis and offer specific conditions for health and aesthetic procedures.
Personalised planning
If none of the options above perfectly fits your situation, talk to us. My team is prepared to help you find the best way to make your procedure feasible. I believe that financial issues should not be an insurmountable obstacle for those who wish to improve their quality of life.
Value versus price: why not choose the cheapest
I know that the temptation to compare prices is natural. The internet makes this easy. But I need to be honest with you: plastic surgery is not a commodity. It is not a standardised product that you can compare solely by price.
When the price of a plastic surgery is significantly below the average, ask yourself:
Is the surgeon a full member of the SBCP (Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery)?
Is the operating room properly equipped and accredited?
Is there a dedicated anaesthesia team?
Are the materials used top quality?
Are follow-up consultations and post-operative care included?
Does the surgeon have proven experience in the specific procedure you desire?
Saving on a plastic surgeon can be extremely costly. Revision surgeries — to correct unsatisfactory results from previous procedures — tend to be more complex, more expensive, and with less predictable results than a well-performed primary surgery.
The true cost of poorly performed surgery
Over more than twenty years, I have received countless patients seeking correction of surgeries performed by less experienced professionals. In addition to the additional financial investment, there is the emotional cost: frustration, insecurity, and lost time. When it comes to your body and your health, cheap can end up being very expensive.
Invest in safety, experience, and proven results. See the results of my work in the photo gallery and read the testimonials from patients who have trusted me.
Transparency and trust: my commitment to you
I believe that the relationship between surgeon and patient should be built on absolute transparency. This applies to expectations of results, risks involved, and, of course, to the financial investment.
During the consultation, you will receive:
Detailed written budget: itemising each component of the investment.
Clear explanation: of what is included and why each item is necessary.
Payment options: presented clearly, without pressure.
Time to decide: I do not believe in rushed decisions when it comes to plastic surgery. Take the budget home, talk to your family, clear all doubts before committing.
My clinic in Londrina is open to welcome you. Come and see the space, talk to my team, and feel the security you deserve before making this decision.
No surprises, no fine print
The amount presented in the consultation is the final amount. If during the surgery I identify the need for any additional procedure to optimise the result, this will be discussed beforehand — never charged without your knowledge and consent.
My experience: your greatest asset
When you invest in plastic surgery with me, you are investing in more than two decades of exclusive dedication to this specialty. I have had the privilege of being a student of Professor Ivo Pitanguy, the greatest name in Brazilian plastic surgery. With him, I learned that each patient deserves the best that the technique can offer.
In over twenty years of practice, I have performed more than eight thousand plastic surgeries. I am a full member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). I regularly participate in national and international congresses, keeping myself updated with the latest advances in the specialty.
Each surgery I perform receives the same level of dedication and perfectionism — whether it is a procedure considered simple or a complex reconstruction. This is my philosophy and my commitment to each patient who trusts me.

Frequently Asked Questions about Investment in Plastic Surgery
Why does the cost of plastic surgery vary between surgeons?
The cost reflects the surgeon's experience, the quality of the surgical centre, the materials used, the anaesthesia team, and the level of post-operative follow-up. More experienced surgeons with complete facilities naturally have costs that reflect this quality.
Is it possible to pay for the surgery in instalments?
Yes. I offer instalment plans on credit cards and medical financing options with specialised companies. Specific conditions are presented during the consultation, tailored to your financial planning.
Does the estimate include post-operative follow-up?
Yes. All follow-up consultations, dressings, revisions, and monitoring during the recovery period are included in the presented cost. There are no additional charges for post-operative care.
How long is the estimate valid for?
I inform you of the validity of the estimate at the time of the consultation. Generally, the costs are maintained for a reasonable period so that you have time to plan. If there are adjustments, I will communicate them in advance.
Does the health insurance cover plastic surgery?
Most aesthetic procedures are not covered by health insurance. However, reconstructive surgeries — such as breast reconstruction after mastectomy or correction of functional deformities — may be covered. Each case is evaluated individually.
Can I have more than one surgery at the same time to save costs?
In many cases, yes. Combining procedures in the same surgical time is safe when clinically indicated and represents a significant saving on surgical centre, anaesthesia, and hospitalisation costs. I evaluate each case during the consultation to ensure that the combination is safe for you.
What happens if I need a surgical revision?
Minor revisions that are part of the natural evolution of the post-operative period are included in the estimate. If there is a need for a more significant surgical revision, I will openly discuss the options and any additional costs.
How can I obtain an estimate?
The most direct way is to book an in-person consultation or an online consultation. During the evaluation, I will develop your personalised surgical plan and present the complete and detailed estimate.
Is there a deposit to reserve the surgery date?
Yes. After the estimate is approved, I request a deposit to reserve the date at the surgical centre. The amount and conditions are clearly communicated at the time of booking.
Do you offer a discount for payment in full?
I offer special conditions for payment in full. The details are presented during the consultation when we discuss all available payment options for your case.
