Surgeon training and credentials
A plastic surgeon in the Philippines must be a licensed doctor who has passed the medical board exam and completed formal residency training. One online discussion notes that a licensed doctor can take a short weekend course in cosmetic surgery, so ask what residency and training the surgeon completed, not only the title. Check the surgeon's experience with your exact procedure before you compare prices.
What the package includes
Clinic packages are often quoted as an estimate that includes the hospital fee, so the headline price may not be the final bill. Ask whether the quote covers the surgeon, anaesthesia, the hospital stay, implants or materials, and follow-up visits. For breast augmentation, ask which implant is included, because listed prices range from ₱100,000 to ₱500,000 depending on the doctor and clinic.
Climate and recovery time
The climate is hot all year, with a wet and a dry season rather than winter and summer, so there is no cold-season window to wait for. Plan recovery days around your work and family, and ask the clinic how long you should stay in your city for check-ups before you travel home.
What to write in your request
Name the procedure and the result you want, and say whether it is a first surgery or a revision. Add the part of the body involved, when you would like to have it done, the budget in pesos, your city (Manila, Quezon City, Cebu City, Davao City or Makati), and whether you have a surgeon or clinic in mind. Say whether the price should include the hospital fee and follow-up visits, since packages differ on this.
Getting offers through BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the procedure in your own words in the chat. The AI asks for missing details and looks through clinic price lists and sellers' websites in the Philippines, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own price and terms, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide to exchange them. For related services, see cosmetology or medical services.
