Plastic Surgery after WLS in Australia

[ausmith 374]

I'm 18months out now and have been stable for the last 6 months. Now it's time to find a Plastic Surgeon to have the excess skin removed. Can anyone recommend a good Plastic Surgeon in either Brisbane or Sydney. Im happy to travel to either state, my first quote here has been over 130k which is not going to happen. Also need information on claiming some of the procedures through Aus Medical insurance specifically Medibank Private. If anyone has any info please share

$130k??? that surely can't be right??? My private health is with HCF and they offer very little coverage in the area of plastic surgery... I am considering a trip to Bangkok when I am ready for that step. Not sure if that is something for you as it is definitely not something everyone would consider, but the cost difference is ridiculous.

Wow I am 11 days post opt from Tummy Tuck and that price you quoted was very expensive you can get a mommy makeover cheaper then thy quote, do you research and find a qualified plastic surgeon who specialized in tummy tucks , ask for references, pictures, and see if they have work with clients who have had weight loss procedures good luck .

The quote was for full body, Breast, legs, arms and neck. It was quoted as 3 separate surgery's 2 at a time with the neck seperate

Yes Bangkok is an option as a last resort. Please let me know if you have any recommendations for surgeons there

My actual reaction would just have been censored on this site, so I didn't even bother to type it out

have a chat to your surgon. I know when i have my sleeve done in brisbane my surgon told me that the proceedure could be claimable under medicare because of the long term effects the excess skin can have and something i would need to discuss with him once i have lost my weight. $130K is crazy....

I have an appointment with my sleeve surgeon end of next month and it is on my list to discuss because I contacted my medical insurers and they said it could be covered if it was considered for medical reasons and not cosmetic, so fingers crossed he agrees and refers me.

Cosmetic surgery prices have long been recognized as reaching up to the thousands of dollars. Yet, many people who are not earning enough to afford the cosmetic surgery prices, still yearn to get cosmetic surgery. This is because of the promise of a better life with a better face and figure.
