Fat Transfer Breast Enlargement surgery incurs both risks and complications like all invasive surgery. However, your Surgeon will make you aware of potential complications during your consultation. This includes general anaesthesia, bleeding (Haematoma), infection, wound healing and deep vein thrombosis, as well as, scarring and numbness. Always stay informed and healthy, do not smoke before or after your procedure and read and understand your risks.

The length of your recovery period will depend on your procedure, as well as, other health & lifestyle factors. Recovery times can vary from person to person.

Scar maturation often takes longer, up to a year or more. Be sure you wear your garment as instructed and take advantage of the aftercare we provide to assist you during your healing and recovery.

You will need to work with your Surgeon to allow for adequate and proper healing time. It is important to consult with your Surgeon before returning to daily activities such as driving, lifting and exercise. Wear your post-operative compression garments for the designated time frames.

Coco Ruby Plastic Surgery will provide you with after garments. Good results depend on a collaborative approach and a healthy lifestyle. Follow instructions given to you by your Surgeon, and attend all post-operative appointments.

All Surgery is customised and your Surgeon will give you a price for surgery depending on the type of procedure you are having, the hospital you attend and the length of your stay.

At your initial consultation, you are given a detailed quote. This will include a Surgeon’s fee, Anaesthetist fee, Surgical Assistant fee and the hospital fees.

Medicare may cover your Fat Grafting procedure if you have a developmental disorder of the breast (Item numbers 45535 and 45534).

Meeting the Medicare item number criteria may make you eligible for a Private Health Insurance subsidy too if you have the right level of cover.

Here is some information on Private Health Insurance and different methods of payment.

Not all Surgeons have the same experience or intensive training and testing qualifications. Be sure you learn the differences between a Plastic Surgeon, a General Surgeon, Cosmetic Surgeon or other types of Surgeon.

Choosing a Specialist Plastic Surgeon means you are choosing an accredited recognised plastic surgeon that performs surgery in an accredited hospital. Look for members of FRACS, ASPS, ASAPS or ISAPS as some of the Qualifications of your Plastic Surgeon.

It is important to research a Surgeon’s qualifications and experience before deciding on the Surgeon. You can check your surgeons’ credentials at AHRPA. Our Breast Surgeons, Dr Craig Rubinstein, Dr Rebecca Wyten, Dr Geoff Barnett, Dr Richard Sackelariou, Dr Patrick Briggs are all highly experienced, fully qualified specialist plastic surgeons with current FRACS memberships.
