Like all procedures, there are a few elements to take into consideration when billing for a Breast Lift Operation. The fees include:

•    The Surgeon’s Fee (+/- Assistant’s fee)
•    The Anaesthetist’s Fee
•    The Hospital/ Facility Fee (includes both Day Surgery Accommodation and the Theatre Fee)
•    Post Operative Garments (Surgical Bra)

The total cost is approximately:-

Insured**: from $7 000 out of pocket with top private health insurance cover
Uninsured: from $11 250* incl GST

We are constantly seeking methods to reduce costs for patients. The facility fees vary from place to place, and over time. We are vigilant in watching for options that will save our patients money without compromising results or safety.

**In certain circumstances, as specified by Medicare Item Number 45558, some of your procedure may be covered by your Private Health Insurance. Depending on your health fund, this may involve obtaining approval from Medicare prior to your operation date. During your initial consultation, Dr Sandercoe will let you know if you are likely to fulfil these criteria
