Choosing a plastic surgeon in São Paulo is not easy. The offer is huge and often the most visible professional is not the best prepared. See the 8 objective criteria you should check before scheduling surgery.
1. Specialist Title (TCBCP/SBCP)
Specialist Title in Plastic Surgery granted by the SBCP after 5 years of residency recognized by the MEC + national exam.
2. RQE in Plastic Surgery at CRM
Registry of Qualification of Specialist (RQE) registered with CRM-SP. Free consultation on the website cremesp.org.br.
3. Accredited Hospital
Joint Commission, ONA or Qmentum. Never an office with general anesthesia.
4. Anesthesiologist Board Certified by SBA
Demand the name, CRM, and title of the anesthesiologist. A critical point ignored in cheap proposals.
5. Real Before and After Photos
Own portfolio with consent, not a stock image bank.
6. Subspecialization
For breast, lipedema, intimate surgery, face, prefer someone with volume and publications in the specific area.
7. Transparency about Risks
Written informed consent, expectations adjusted to individual anatomy.
8. Detailed Written Budget
Fees, team, hospital fee, materials, and validity itemized.
Red flags when choosing a plastic surgeon in SP
- Promise of "guaranteed results" or "no risks."
- Surgery in an office with general anesthesia.
- Professional without TCBCP claiming "cosmetology."
- Price 50%+ below average.
Questions for the Consultation
- What is your RQE?
- Must provide number for consultation with CRM.
- In which hospital do you operate?
- Fixed hospital and clear accreditation.
- How many similar cases per year?
