Qualified breast implant removal surgeons in Spain must hold a specialist degree in Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery. Membership in the Spanish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (SECPRE) and registration with the local provincial Medical Board are essential credentials for ensuring professional expertise.
- SECPRE membership: Confirms the surgeon is a recognized specialist in plastic and reconstructive procedures.
- EBOPRAS certification: Membership in the European Board of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery signals international standards.
- Medical registration: Every licensed doctor must be registered with the Consejo General de Colegios Oficiales.
- Hospital accreditation: Top specialists operate in facilities with JCI or EFQM quality certifications.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows that leading Spanish surgeons often pursue international training to refine complex explant techniques. For example, Dr. Javier Herrero Jover at Centro Médico Teknon completed fellowships in Israel and Brazil. Dr. José Luis Martín Del Yerro Coca, who served as Secretary General of SECPRE, trained in Glasgow and Rome. This cross-border training typically results in a higher proficiency for handling complex cases like calcified capsules.
Patient Consensus: Patients note it is important to choose a specialist, not just an aesthetic doctor. They often feel more confident when surgeons explain capsulectomy techniques in detail. Many were surprised to find that board-certified surgeons prioritize tissue health over just the cosmetic look.
