Black Friday deals on surgeries: price aside, it’s safety that matters

Black Friday deals on surgeries have become something of a trend in some clinics, offering discounts on medical procedures as if they were a product to be consumed. However, a breast augmentation, reduction or any other breast surgery isn’t something that should be decided by a limited offer.

In breast surgeries, what’s important isn’t the price, but the safety, the quality of the implant and the manufacturer’s guarantee.

What does Black Friday mean for the medical and cosmetic surgery sector?

In recent years, we have seen an increase in promotions and discounts in many different sectors because of Black Friday. But plastic surgery doesn’t work in the same way as a traditional purchase: it involves a medical procedure, accredited operating theatres and high-quality medical devices.

A breast surgery procedure during Black Friday entails exactly the same requirements as it would on any other day:

Individualised assessment by an accredited surgeon
Implant selection according to your biotype
Use of implants certified with CE marking
Complete traceability, thanks to the serial number and patient card
Pre- and post-operative checks
Guaranteed safety throughout the implant manufacturing process

None of this can be accelerated or reduced in price without compromising the quality of the result.

The risks of making decisions only based on price

Choosing a surgery because “it’s reduced” during Black Friday can entail real risks:

Insufficient pre-operative assessment

Rushing into a decision about breast surgery to get a lower price can lead to a consultation that is too quick and that doesn’t take a comprehensive evaluation of the patient.
Uncertified breast implants

The implants used must be approved according to European certifications and by each country’s Ministry of Health, as is the case with Silimed breast implants.
Lack of traceability

Silimed provides a patient card after your breast surgery, which notes the exact model, surface, volume and serial number of each implant. This therefore guarantees full traceability from the manufacturing process to insertion in the patient.
Reduction in medical follow-up

Post-operative follow-ups and care cannot be shortened to lower the cost of the surgical intervention. Each patient is unique, and the post-operative medical follow-ups need to be tailored to the technique employed, the type of intervention and the type of patient.

Quality, safety and trust: the three pillars that should not be reduced

As an internationally renowned manufacturer, Silimed prioritises three essential aspects that can never feature in Black Friday deals on surgeries:

1. Quality of the implant

Silimed guarantees:
- Certifications required by the European Union and Ministries of Health where it operates
- Advanced quality controls throughout the manufacturing process, complying with the ISO 13485 standard for the medical devices industry
- Mechanical, resistance and integrity testing on each and every implant
- Our own implant manufacturing technology, such as the gas diffusion technique on micro-textured implants and the vulcanisation method on polyurethane implants
- Long-term scientific studies, with a history of over 45 years in marketing breast implants
The quality of the implant cannot and must not be reduced.
2. Patient safety

Surgical safety includes:
- Selecting the right implant
- Clinical protocol adapted to each patient
- Qualified, expert surgeon
- Accredited hospital and operating theatre
- Post-operative follow-up
- Compliance with the manufacturer’s Instructions for Use
When it comes to Black Friday deals on breast surgeries, safety is non-negotiable, regardless of the price or the time of year. That’s why your choice of plastic surgeon is critical, as they will be the one to perform the surgery and the pre- and post-operative checks. It needs to be an accredited, approved surgeon who adapts the patient’s needs to the results she wants.
3. Trust and traceability

Silimed guarantees full traceability through:
- The Patient Card, included with every implant
- Complete information about the model, batch, reference, volume and surface, which patients can also register on the website.
- Unique serial number marked on each implant In 1993, Silimed was a pioneer in the market in including the serial number. As a result, it is now standard in the sector.
This is a sign of Silimed’s commitment to quality and safety. Traceability is a patient’s right.

Why we don’t offer deals at Silimed

At Silimed, we don’t apply discounts to surgeries during Black Friday.

The reason is simple: a breast implant isn’t a product that should be used for a commercial promotion.

A Silimed implant demands:

Full traceability
International certifications
Validated safety
Clinical studies
Controlled manufacturing
Strict quality protocols

None of this can be “reduced” without compromising what’s most important: the patient’s health and safety. That’s why, at Silimed, we have already helped make over 3 million dreams come true.

Conclusion: just because it’s Black Friday doesn’t mean everything has to be on sale

Not all that glitters is gold. You can make the most of Black Friday deals on clothes, technology or trips.

But when it comes to plastic surgery —especially breast surgery—, the decision should be based on safety, quality and trust, not discounts.

A breast implant will last many years. It needs to be chosen carefully together with your surgeon —for you, for your wellbeing, for your health and never because of a temporary offer.

At Silimed, we accompany you with the peace of mind of a product that is certified, safe and backed by scientific evidence.
