Most cosmetic surgical procedures are not covered by health insurance. A detailed quote of the total cost will be given to you after your initial consultation so that you are aware of all the costs involved before deciding on surgery. The fee will cover costs related to your inpatient stay (accommodation, medications, routine investigations), theatre, surgeon and anaesthetic fees. It also covers all post-operative visits and any necessary management of complications.

For those surgical procedures that are covered by health insurance (usually Reconstructive Plastic Surgery or Cancer Surgery), you are advised to contact your insurance company to clarify your level of coverage before the operation. Individual policies can vary considerably and sometimes excess do apply.
