6. How much will the surgery cost and will I be able to afford it?

This is the most frequently asked question in any cosmetic surgery consultation. Patients often select their surgeon, base on the lowest price that they can get for a particular procedure. In the Philippines, when compared to other country, the costs of most cosmetic/aesthetic procedure by board-certified plastic surgeon are much affordable. Since the objective of each cosmetic or reconstructive procedure is physical enhancement or improvement in form and/or function, the success in each plastic surgery procedure is also dependent on your choice of surgeon, thus, cost should not be your main concern. Your surgeon's skills, training and qualification can make a significant difference.
