Cost for Body Lift in Sydney

What is the cost for a body lift (circumferential lipectomy) in Sydney?

Like all surgical procedures, a body lift in Sydney is a complex procedure involving care by multiple different medical professionals, as well as the use of hospital operating facilities and a variety of equipment and supplies. That means there are a few different elements to take into consideration when billing for a body lift operation. The total fees for a circumferential or 360 body lift in Sydney include:

• The Surgeon’s Fee (Includes assistant surgeon’s fee)
• The Anaesthetist’s Fee
• The Hospital/Facility Fee (includes both the Theatre Fee, which applies to the operating room in which the procedure is performed, & Accommodation Fee, which applies to care after the procedure)
• Any items required after the procedure, including post operative compression garments and follow up appointments

The total fees for a body lift can vary somewhat between patients, depending on the exact procedures chosen, the patient’s other medical needs, and similar factors. When you visit your Specialist Plastic Surgeon in Sydney for your consultation, you will receive a more detailed and personalised estimate of what the costs will be for your body lift.
