Searching for “the best breast augmentation surgeon in Madrid” leads to lists, awards and ratings that are hard to compare. Spain has no official ranking of surgeons. What does exist is information any patient can check before deciding: the surgeon’s specialty, the clinic’s registration, the hospital, the anaesthesia and what the quote includes. This guide explains each one and where to verify it.
How do I choose a good breast augmentation surgeon?
Choose a specialist in Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery who is registered with the medical college and, ideally, a member of SECPRE, with proven experience in cases like yours. Meet them in consultation before deciding: the surgeon who examines you and recommends the technique should be the one who operates. Check that the clinic is licensed, that surgery takes place in a hospital with an ICU with an anaesthetist dedicated to your operating room, and ask for a written quote stating what is and is not included.

Contents of this guide
Seven checks
Each point includes where you can verify it yourself, without relying on what the clinic says.
1. A specialist in Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery
In Spain the specialty is called Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery and is obtained after the MIR residency. There is no official specialty of “cosmetic surgery”: a doctor can advertise as a “cosmetic surgeon” without being a plastic surgeon.
How to check: search their name in the OMC public register of doctors, which shows their college, registration number and specialty.
2. A member of SECPRE
The Spanish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery brings together specialists and has a code of ethics. Membership is voluntary, but it is one more check.
How to check: in the SECPRE surgeon finder.
3. Real experience in cases like yours
Years in practice are not enough: what matters is how many breast augmentations they perform and whether they have operated on cases similar to yours (your volume, your breast type, the technique proposed).
How to check: ask for photos of their own patients with a similar starting point, with several views and follow-up time, and ask how many of these operations they perform each year.
4. Meet the surgeon before deciding
The consultation, examination and choice of technique belong to the surgeon who will operate. It is sensible to have at least two consultations before surgery, at least one in person.
How to check: ask who will operate and make sure it is the person who examined you.
5. A licensed clinic
Clinics in Madrid must be listed in the regional Register of Health Centres, Services and Establishments, display their authorisation and include their registration number in their advertising.
How to check: look for the number (usually starting with “CS”) on the website or at the clinic, and verify it in the Community of Madrid register or the Spanish Ministry of Health register (REGCESS).
6. A hospital with an ICU and an anaesthetist for you
Breast augmentation is real surgery. Ask which hospital will be used, whether it has an ICU and recovery unit, and who is responsible for the anaesthesia. The anaesthetist should be present throughout your operation, dedicated to your operating room and not shared with others.
How to check: ask for the name of the hospital and the anaesthetist, and whether they will be present even with local anaesthesia and sedation.
7. A written quote that states what is not included
Two quotes for the same amount can cover different things. The quote should state what is included (implants, hospital, anaesthesia, check-ups, ultrasound) and, above all, what is not: which costs you would pay if a complication occurs and whether insurance is available to cover them.
How to check: ask for the quote in writing and compare it with our guide to breast augmentation costs and inclusions.

Who is the best breast augmentation surgeon in Madrid?
There is no official ranking. Awards and lists are usually based on ratings or commercial criteria. What you can check is the specialty, experience with cases like yours, the clinic, the hospital and the anaesthesia. With that information and a consultation with the surgeon, the choice is yours.
How do I know if a surgeon is a plastic surgery specialist?
Search their name in the OMC public register of doctors: the specialty of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery should be listed. You can also look them up in the SECPRE directory.
Is an anaesthetist needed for breast augmentation under local anaesthesia?
At our clinic, yes: an anaesthetist is present in all hospital breast operations, including MIA Femtech® and Preservé®, which are done under local anaesthesia with sedation.
How many consultations should I have before surgery?
We recommend at least two, at least one in person, to examine you, plan with 3D simulation and answer your questions without rushing.
Can I choose which surgeon operates on me?
At our clinic, yes. We are three plastic surgeons; you choose who operates, and no one operates on you without having seen you in consultation first.
Is a low price a warning sign?
Not necessarily, but check what it includes: hospital, anaesthetist, implants, check-ups and what happens if there is a complication. An offer with a deadline to make you decide quickly is a warning sign.
How can I check that a clinic is licensed?
Look for its health registration number (in Madrid it starts with “CS”) on its website or at the clinic and verify it in the Community of Madrid register or the Ministry of Health register.
