Breast augmentation vs breast reduction: same price, different plans
Breast augmentation and breast reduction carry the same starting figure at our centre, $4,700 (€4,200), because they are priced as operations of one scale. The difference sits in the goal and the plan: one corrects size and shape with implants, the other reduces volume and weight.

Two operations, one price line
Patients often expect the two directions to be priced worlds apart, yet our table gives them one row height: breast augmentation with implants at $4,700 (€4,200) and breast reduction at the same $4,700 (€4,200). The dollar figure is the base price and it is the same for every patient; the euro amount is an approximate conversion at the European Central Bank reference rate of 2 October 2026, rounded up. One line for both operations is the honest way to show that neither is a discount version of the other; what separates them is the surgical goal, not the budget.
What each operation sets out to do
Our service page keeps the definitions short. Breast augmentation corrects size and shape with implants. Breast reduction reduces the volume and weight of the breasts. Those are different jobs on the same anatomy: one adds an implant chosen for your proportions, the other removes tissue to take weight off. Which direction your case calls for is settled by the surgeon at the consultation, and the shared price line means the choice can be made on medical grounds rather than on cost.
The operation day and the first weeks
Both operations run on the same early schedule. Anaesthesia is general, administered by the anesthesiologist, and after surgery you stay at the hospital for one day. Return to work comes 7 to 14 days after the operation, without physical exertion. At 3 weeks the page marks three points: post-op swelling disappears, the scars form, and the loading rules apply, with nothing heavier than 3 kg to lift and no raising the arms above shoulder level. Those first weeks are identical whichever of the two rows you are on.
From one month to three
The middle of the calendar is also shared. At 1 month the swelling subsides and the breasts take on a natural shape and softness. From 4 to 6 weeks fitness, swimming and the pool come back into range, and the compression garments are worn for 4 to 6 weeks. By 3 months the discomfort has disappeared, the inflammatory changes resolve and a pocket forms around the implant, and strength training returns. That last point belongs to the augmentation track; the rest of the stages describe both operations.
How your plan is built
The size and shape of implants are decided by the surgeon, not chosen from a catalogue by the patient, and the same applies to the reduction plan: how much tissue and what contour, the surgeon works that out at the consultation from your build and your goals. This is why the table can carry one figure for two operations. The price covers the operation at its confirmed scope, and the scope is what the consultation fixes, in the contract, with no hidden extra charges.

Frequently asked questions
Why do augmentation and reduction cost the same?
Because both are priced as operations of the same scale: $4,700 each, or €4,200. The table prices the operation, and the surgeon confirms the plan and the figure for your case at the free consultation.
Who chooses the implant size and shape?
The surgeon does, at the consultation, based on your proportions and goals. The consultation is where the whole plan is agreed, and the confirmed price is then fixed in the contract with no hidden extra charges.
When can I go back to work?
Both operations share the same schedule: return to work 7 to 14 days after surgery, without physical exertion. For the first 3 weeks there is no lifting over 3 kg and no raising the arms above shoulder level.
When can I train again?
Fitness, swimming and pool return at 4 to 6 weeks, with compression garments worn for 4 to 6 weeks. Strength training comes back at 3 months, once discomfort has gone and the pocket around the implant has formed.
How long does the swelling last?
Post-op swelling disappears around 3 weeks, and at 1 month the breasts take on a natural shape and softness. The surgeon monitors your individual course through the follow-up visits.
