Breast Reduction Surgery BRISBANE & NORTH LAKES

The initial consultation fee is $300. Following your assessment, you will receive a personalised, itemised quote for surgery. 

The surgeon’s fee and its inclusions will be explained before you decide whether to proceed. The planned care includes:

• Your Abdominoplasty operation with Dr Rughani 
• Two preoperative consultations with Dr Rughani for cosmetic surgery, with no additional fee for the second consultation 
• Nurse reviews at approximately one and two weeks after surgery 
• Reviews with Dr Rughani at approximately six and twelve weeks 
• Further review for up to one year when clinically needed 

Your quote will explain how the initial consultation fee is accounted for and identify other costs, including hospital and anaesthetist fees. Medicare or private health insurance benefits depend on individual eligibility; purely cosmetic surgery generally does not attract a Medicare benefit.

For cosmetic surgery, a minimum seven-day cooling-off period applies after your two consultations and signed informed consent, before surgery can proceed. You may arrange your second consultation in advance by calling our rooms. Surgery dates cannot be pre-booked before your initial consultation with Dr Rughani.

Benefits may apply when eligibility criteria are met. Our team can help you understand your quote and what to confirm with your insurer.

Please complete these steps so your appointment can proceed:

1. Obtain a GP referral addressed to Dr Milap Rughani that briefly describes the treatment you are seeking, such as breast reduction. Please send it to the practice before your appointment. A GP referral is generally valid for 12 months from your first specialist consultation. 
2. Complete the pre-consultation questionnaire. Patients considering cosmetic surgery must complete a screening questionnaire, including an assessment for body dysmorphic disorder. Our team will provide the secure link before your appointment. 

If either requirement is incomplete, your consultation may need to be rescheduled.

Your preferred size will guide the discussion, but a specific cup size or perfect symmetry cannot be guaranteed.

Drains may be used temporarily to remove fluid from beneath the skin. Whether they are needed, and when they are removed, depends on your operation and recovery. You will receive care instructions if drains are used.

Yes. Scars usually surround the areola and extend downwards, often along the breast crease. They generally soften and fade over time, but remain permanent.

Breastfeeding may be reduced or impossible. Discuss future pregnancy plans during your consultation.

Breast shape settles over several months, while scars may mature over 12–18 months.

A written, itemised estimate is provided after assessment.
