CROSS-POST Reconstructive Surgery Costs

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone

For those who are interested in quotes for Reconstructive

Surgery I have listed the quotes I received recently from a Brisbane doctor. If Ozband causes them

to come out unformatted please feel free to email me personally and I will

forward them to your personal email address along with the name of the doctor.

For those who were at the conference last year he is the doctor who did Amy’s

arms which impressed the plastic surgeon speaker so much.

From various

messages from people that I have read on the site who have gone down the

Reconstructive Surgery path for breasts I knew never to mention the word

uplift. I only spoke to the surgeon about Reconstructive Surgery on the

breasts but he told me because I was not overly large busted I could not have a

breast reduction because I would become too small and that I would have to have

an uplift which is regarded as Cosmetic Surgery and not claimable on Medicare

of Health Funds. I will have this doctor do my arms, legs and adominoplasty

but I am going to shop around further for the breasts.

Kind regards

Leanne from Gold Coast
