    There are a number of medical loan facilities available such as "MAC credit" however some patients make arrangments with specialists directly or access their superannuation to pay for medical procedures. The Private Hospital fee estimate is $4000 which is difficult to bypass however some surgeons will bulk bill medicare for compassionate reasons and on individual case-by-case basis which could save you a great deal.

    Hi

    If you are with a health fund costs can be kept to a minimum. I suggest you speak to your local Specialist Plastic Surgeon who will have other options to keep the costs to a minimum while getting you great results.
