Breast Augmentation Surgery Costs

The cost of breast augmentation can vary depending on your individual goals, anatomy, implant selection, hospital and anaesthetist fees, and whether any additional support or fat grafting is required.

Breast augmentation performed for cosmetic purposes is not covered by Medicare or private health insurance, meaning patients are responsible for the full cost of surgery, including GST.

Following your consultation with Dr Cameron, you will receive a personalised quote based on your recommended surgical plan.

Medicare or Private Health Rebates

There is no Medicare rebate or private health insurance benefit available for breast augmentation performed for cosmetic purposes, this also means that GST will apply. 

In circumstances of significant asymmetry or tuberous breast deformity Medicare will provide a rebate and private health insurance may cover hospital costs.

If Dr Cameron considers that your breast augmentation may meet the Medicare criteria, this will be discussed with you during your consultation, including any relevant item numbers and the potential rebates or private health insurance benefits available.

Possible Additional or Unforeseen Costs

All of Dr Cameron’s surgical quotes are based on the planned procedure.

In some cases, additional costs may arise if:

• Compression garments (required)

Unforeseen surgical complexity requires a longer operative time or additional procedures

Post-operative complications require further treatment, dressings, revision surgery or hospital admission

Additional pathology, imaging or specialist review (if required)

Wound care or post-operative support beyond the standard recovery period.

ICU admission or an ICU specialist review is required

Medications on discharge beyond the standard supply

Please note that post-operative compression garments are a mandatory part of recovery for most surgical procedures. These are not covered by Medicare or private health insurance and are an additional out-of-pocket cost. Garment costs are listed separately in the cost overview above.

Where possible, Dr Cameron will discuss any anticipated complexity at your consultation. Our team will contact you promptly if any unexpected costs arise during your care.

Optional: Fat Grafting

Fat grafting is an option that may be recommended. To read more about fat grafting, read here.

If fat grafting is recommended, there will be an additional cost of $3,000 for liposuction, grafting and equipment costs.

*All fees are approximate only and vary based on individual patient needs, including time in theatre, individual hospital and anaesthetist scheduled. Dr Cameron’s surgeon fee includes the surgical assistant fee where applicable. A formal quote quote is provided following consultation with Dr Cameron.
