What “All-Inclusive” Pricing Means

Every figure on this page is all-inclusive. That means a single quote covers:

• the surgeon’s fee
• the private hospital and theatre fee
• the specialist anaesthetist’s fee
• routine post-operative follow-up appointments
• premium implants and a surgical garment, for implant procedures

It does not cover prescription medications, garments beyond the standard supply, complex revision work, or treatment of unrelated conditions that arise during recovery. When comparing quotes from other providers, check whether theirs is all-inclusive, as some quote only the surgeon’s fee and add hospital and anaesthetic fees separately.

What Affects the Cost of Plastic Surgery

• Procedure complexity: the technique, the operating time, and whether procedures are combined in one session.
• Hospital and anaesthesia: private hospital theatre fees and the specialist anaesthetist’s fee.
• Implants and materials: breast implants, surgical garments and any devices or consumables used.
• Medicare eligibility: whether a documented functional or reconstructive indication applies.
• Recovery and follow-up: routine post-operative reviews, included in the quote.
• Revision complexity: prior surgery can change operating time and planning.

Because surgery is priced largely by operating time and complexity, combining procedures in one session is often better value than staging them, since the costs of one anaesthetic and one hospital admission are shared. The combined figure is confirmed at consultation.

Facelift and Face Surgery Prices in Sydney

Platysmaplasty and deep neck lift are quoted as part of a deep plane or SMAS facelift rather than separately. For detail on what drives facelift pricing, see the facelift cost guide for Sydney, or the facelift, deep plane facelift, ponytail facelift and neck lift pages.

Blepharoplasty and Eyelid Surgery Prices

Upper blepharoplasty may attract a Medicare rebate under MBS item 45617 only where excess upper eyelid skin causes a documented, measurable obstruction of the upper visual field. Lower blepharoplasty is usually cosmetic. See the blepharoplasty cost guide for Sydney, and the upper and lower blepharoplasty pages.

Rhinoplasty and Nose Surgery Prices

Functional rhinoplasty and septoplasty may attract Medicare rebates where nasal obstruction criteria are met, for example a documented NOSE score and obstruction. See the rhinoplasty cost guide for Sydney, the rhinoplasty page, and the revision rhinoplasty page.

Breast Surgery Prices

Implant procedures include premium implants and a surgical garment. Breast reduction, breast lift, tuberous breast correction and implant revision may attract Medicare rebates where clinical criteria are met. See the breast surgery cost guide for Sydney, and the breast augmentation, breast lift and breast reduction pages.

Abdominoplasty and Body Surgery Prices

Abdominoplasty may attract Medicare rebates where a documented functional basis is met, such as significant rectus diastasis or post-weight-loss skin. See the abdominoplasty page for a full cost breakdown, and the labiaplasty page.

Male Plastic Surgery Prices

The surgical fee structure does not change with the patient’s sex. Gynaecomastia may attract a Medicare rebate under MBS item 31526 where glandular and symptomatic criteria are met. See the gynaecomastia cost guide and the gynaecomastia page.

Medicare and Plastic Surgery

Purely cosmetic procedures attract no Medicare rebate or private health insurance benefit. Where a procedure has a documented functional or reconstructive basis and meets the relevant MBS item criteria, the cost structure changes: appropriate private hospital cover may meet the hospital fee, with the patient paying only their fund excess, and Medicare may provide a partial rebate on the surgeon and anaesthetist fees. A gap payment usually remains. Eligibility is always assessed at consultation with a GP referral.

A Medicare rebate is a partial offset against the surgeon’s fee, not a full payment, and the anaesthetist fee has a separate rebate. The exact out-of-pocket is confirmed in your written quote. Cosmetic procedures carry 10% GST, which the all-inclusive figures already reflect, while medically indicated procedures meeting MBS criteria are GST-exempt.

Payment Options and Timing

• Consultation fee: $450, charged at consultation and not deducted from the surgical fee.
• Surgical deposit: $1,000, payable only after your second consultation, never at the first.
• Final payment: due 14 days before surgery.
• Methods: bank transfer or direct deposit, credit card (a surcharge may apply), and EFTPOS.
• Pre-payment plan: an internal, structured, interest-free savings arrangement is available. This is not a loan.

The practice does not endorse or recommend external finance or Buy Now Pay Later providers, in line with AHPRA and Medical Board guidance, and does not provide financial advice. Accessing superannuation early for cosmetic surgery is rarely appropriate, and you should seek independent financial and tax advice before considering it.

The figures above are a guide. Your final cost is confirmed in a formal written quote after your consultation with Dr Turner on 1300 437 758, once your individual plan is assessed. A GP referral is required, and surgical planning involves a minimum of two consultations and a seven-day cooling-off period before consent.
