Costs and Financing

The TOTAL COST of your surgery will naturally be made up of each of the following INDIVIDUAL COSTS:

  • Surgeon’s Fee
  • Anesthetist’s Fee (hourly rates vary between Anaesthetists)
  • Hospital Theatre Fee (hourly rates vary between hospitals)
  • Your choice of implants (brands and shapes vary considerably in cost)

Accordingly, it’s only at the end of your consultation that it’s possible to issue an accurate and itemised TOTAL COST QUOTATION. However, in the meantime, if you would like an approximate total cost, please call us on 1300 73 63 53.

Just remember, when comparing prices for Cosmetic Breast Surgery between clinics, please remember to also compare quality, experience, and reputation!

Consultations Usually 20-30 minutes; sometimes by a Nurse or Sales Consultant with only a brief ‘look in’ by the Doctor, sometimes only Online or Skype Consultations which cannot include measurements! 2 hours and entirely by the Doctor who’ll do your surgery; many chest & breast measurements are taken to design and customise your surgery.
What You Get For Your Money
  1. Experience of the Surgeon in Breast Augmentation is not always known or guaranteed.
  2. Surgical Technique: Usually limited to whichever is the simplest and quickest – almost always via the crease under the breast and ‘in front of the muscle’. Never the Armpit Approach.
  3. Hospital Theatre Fees (time based): Surgery often performed as quickly as 1 hour to keep the Theatre Costs & Anaesthetist Fees low.
  4. Anaesthetist Fees: a lower Anaesthetic Fee could reflect a cheaper Anaesthetist or only 1 hour of surgery.
  5. Implants: Low prices nearly always mean ROUND Implants, often in the less expensive brands, sometimes chosen on the basis of negotiated bulk-ordering discounts.
  1. ONLY HIGHLY EXPERIENCED COSMETIC & PLASTIC SURGEONS.
  2. Surgical Technique: Whichever is the best for each patient – through the crease under the breast, via the armpit (Trans-Axillary), or around the nipple (Peri-Areolar).
  3. Hospital Theatre Fees: (time-based). We will never rush your surgery. We always allocate 1-2 hours to perform your surgery meticulously.
  4. We use only Senior Specialist Anaesthetists for maximum patient comfort and safety.
  5. Implants: We are not brand loyal. We will use whichever brand, type, shape and size of implant that will deliver the best result for each patient.
Duration of Surgery Typically 1 hour:
Quick surgery > increased risks of complications & deformities; drains often inserted to drain ongoing bleeding.		 Always 2 hours.
Meticulously performed surgery; drains almost never used as we stop all bleeding points before inserting the implants.
3-D Simulation Technology Unreliable at accurately predicting final results. Final result is rarely the same as the Simulation. Gives patients false expectations of how they’re going to look. We won’t use 3-D Simulations. We prefer to be more accurate by giving patients the actual implants to insert into a bra. No Simulation Technology can ever beat that!
The ‘Rapid Recovery Technique’ Widely promoted to increase a clinic’s appeal by claiming patients can resume normal activities in 24-48 hours or even go out to dinner the same night! Considered by us a ridiculous claim and a ‘marketing ploy’ simply to attract patients.
We have performed the identical technique for over 20 years and not one of our patients has gone out to dinner the same night! Surgery is surgery and the tissues need time to heal!

Financing Your Surgery

Unfortunately, since new National Regulations were introduced in 2016, doctors providing Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery are not allowed to arrange financial loans for patients needing to finance their surgery.

This new National Regulation applies only to Doctors and Clinics providing Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery. They do not apply to other Medical Specialties.

Accordingly, if you need to finance all or part of your surgery, you must source your own financing. Options to consider include:

  • Apply for a Personal Loan through your own Bank or other Lending Institution.
  • Arrange a Payment Plan from any of a number of Medical Loan Providers easily found by searching for ‘Medical Loans’ on Google.

If, however, you don’t need to finance and would like to book a consultation with one of our Surgeons, please call our Clinic on 1300 73 63 53.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
