Pricing

The total cost of the procedure comprises surgeon fees, anaesthetist fees, theatre and hospital stay, assistant’s fees, implants/devices, and potential additional fees to consider. The total cost for surgery will vary depending on whether there are Medicare item numbers for the procedure that can be claimed and whether the patient is covered by private health insurance.

The costs that may be generally covered by health funds or Medicare include the theatre fee, the assistant’s fee, part of the anaesthetist fee, and a portion of the surgical fee. In some select cases, implants may be covered as well.
Anaesthetist Fees
It’s important to check eligibility under Medicare criteria, especially when estimating breast lift prices, breast uplift costs, or breast lift and reduction costs.

Anaesthetist Fees

Anaesthetists’ services and expenses are in addition to the surgeon’s fee. The fee can cost around $500-$1000 per hour. Anaesthetists bill in “units.” This charge depends on the complexity of the type of surgery, its duration, and whether any monitoring devices are used.

Theatre and Hospital Stay

Depending on the extent of surgery being conducted and your health, you may require a hospital stay. The charge for your visit will depend on how many nights you need in the hospital, but this may not always be the case, as most procedures can be performed as day surgery. The time required in the operating theatre will also be included in the cost, which will vary based on the time it takes to complete the surgery. Fees for any specific dietary requirements or special assistance that may be needed may also be included if required.

Potential Additional Fees to Consider

Additional fees that are not covered by the quote we provide may be charged by other providers that are involved in your care, such as:

• Pathology fees if any tissue is sent for examination or blood tests are collected.
• Radiology imaging.
• Additional doctors’ fees.

No two procedures are exactly alike. Factors such as previous surgeries, scarring, skin condition, and body type can influence the complexity of your surgery—and ultimately, the cost. The type of anaesthesia used, duration in the theatre, and whether you’re combining procedures can also affect pricing.

For example, breast uplift prices may vary between patients depending on skin elasticity, age, or whether a reduction is also required. Similarly, the mini tummy tuck Sydney cost differs from an extended abdominoplasty, which may involve more skin removal, abdominal muscle repair, and a longer recovery.

Patients considering fat grafting should also factor in both harvesting and transfer, which contribute to the breast fat grafting cost.

Pricing for body contouring procedures varies not only by the area treated but also by how much fat is removed or repositioned. For instance, liposuction prices in Sydney can vary based on the number of areas treated and the time in the theatre.

Patients considering breast fat grafting should be aware that both fat harvesting and transfer stages contribute to the overall procedure cost. Similarly, the tummy tuck price in Sydney can vary depending on whether a mini, full, or extended procedure is required.

For women seeking a natural enhancement without implants, a breast lift combined with fat grafting is an excellent option. This procedure uses your own fat, harvested from areas like the tummy or thighs, which is purified and gently injected to restore breast volume and improve shape.

Since the surgery includes both the lift and the additional steps of fat harvesting and transfer, it usually costs more than a breast lift alone or one with implants.

The overall price depends on factors like how much fat is transferred, the complexity of the lift, and the personalised plan we create with you during your consultation to deliver the best possible results for your body and goals. You can find a general idea of pricing for breast augmentation in our Pricing Guideline.

Some patients may elect to undergo multiple procedures during one session to consolidate recovery time and reduce overall costs. While combining surgeries may increase theatre time, it may reduce duplicate hospital and anaesthetic fees.

For example, combining a breast lift with liposuction may affect both the breast lift and reduction cost and the cost of liposuction in Sydney. A “mummy makeover” may include procedures like a mini tummy tuck, liposuction thighs, or a thigh lift to help address body changes following pregnancy or significant weight loss.

Surgical costs for men vary depending on individual anatomy, treatment goals, and the required techniques. For those experiencing enlarged breast tissue, the gynaecomastia surgery Sydney cost may differ based on whether liposuction alone is effective, or if glandular tissue removal and/or skin tightening are also indicated.

Skin quality, hormonal factors, and prior surgeries can also affect pricing. Men who have experienced significant weight loss may be suitable candidates for procedures such as a tummy tuck, arm lift, or liposuction, where the cost of an arm lift in Sydney (or brachioplasty) reflects the complexity of tissue removal and reshaping.

Where appropriate, combining multiple areas in a single session may help reduce some hospital or anaesthesia-related expenses.
