Should I Get a Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Consultation During the Private Health Fund Waiting Period?

Saturday Mar 23, 2024

In this insightful episode, we tackle the often-under discussed topic of post-weight loss brachioplasty surgery. Many individuals, after significant weight loss, find themselves grappling with the trade-off between excess skin and the potential for long scars post-surgery. Our discussion revolves around the concerns associated with the cosmetic implications of brachioplasty (arm lift) scars versus the physical discomfort and self-consciousness caused by **. Interestingly, feedback from the post-weight loss community indicates that the overwhelming ** from ** hanging skin overshadows the concern for scars, which are generally not visible from the front. The episode also hints at forthcoming topics, including navigating private health funds for surgery and the commonality of wearing long sleeves to mask arm appearance. Tune in to gain a comprehensive understanding of the physical and cosmetic considerations that come with the decision to undergo a brachioplasty after weight loss.

How much does an Abdominoplasty cost in Australia?

Wednesday Jan 31, 2024

Are you wondering about the current cost of an Abdominoplasty in Australia? You have come to the right place. ’Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) cost Australia’ is a top Google question for patients when considering abdominoplasty surgery.

Researching Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) prices is frustrating, as you have probably noticed by now. It is hard to get a straight answer. Google and you will be continually met with text saying the “cost will vary” and that the only way to get a price is to book a consultation.

Or even worse, vague answers like “prices start at $6000+”.

In this podcast, I will discuss my pricing along with what I have found out about what other surgeons charge for an Abdominoplasty in Sydney and Newcastle.

Using Suction Assisted Lipectomy (VASER liposuction) for abdominoplasty surgery

Wednesday Jan 31, 2024

I use Suction Assisted Lipectomy (VASER liposuction) for a lot of my operations, including my Abdominoplasties. In this podcast, I will go through some of the benefits and negatives of this technique.

This podcast focuses mainly on Post weight loss surgery and surgery post pregnancy. Ranging from

Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
Belt lipectomy (body lift)
Fleur de lis abdominoplasty
Brachioplasty (arm lift)
Thighplasty (inner thigh lift)

I will also discuss breast surgery in the context of post weight loss and post pregnancy changes.

There are many techniques for abdominoplasty and each patient is unique.

Liposuction can be safely added to an abdominoplasty but not every patient will benefit from liposuction. I treat a lot of post-weight loss patients. Some of these patients have minimal to no additional fat to remove. Adding liposuction in these patients will:

Increase the time it takes to do the operation.
Potentially increase complication rates
Potentially increase the recovery time as well

If you have external fat, you may benefit from liposuction, and this can safely be added to your operation.

There are many different types of liposuction.

The standard or traditional liposuction consists of 2 steps.

Injecting the wetting solution containing adrenalin and lignocaine
Using liposuction cannulas to suck out the fat

This works well, and prior to starting to use the Suction Assisted Lipectomy (VASER liposuction), which I have done for close to 10 years, I use this method for my abdominoplasties.

Suction Assisted Lipectomy (VASER liposuction) adds an additional step to the liposuction process.

The VASER is an ultrasonic probe, it vibrates at a very high frequency, this disrupts the fat cells making the fat liquid. This liquified fat is then aspirated with the liposuction cannulae.

Why do I like Suction Assisted Lipectomy (VASER liposuction) over traditional liposuction?

In my hands, I find that it is a much gentler way of performing liposuction. I also find that it causes less bruising. I can also get closer to the skin and remove more fat. If significant scar tissue is present, for example, if they have had previous liposuction, then the VASER will help disrupt this as well.

There are some negatives with this method as well.

The main negative is the additional time it takes to perform Suction Assisted Lipectomy (VASER liposuction), which adds to the operation time.

Also, the liposuction holes are bigger.

Overall I find that VASER has significant benefits and I would normally recommend this method for patients considering liposuction.

I’m able to remove more fat with this method.
I can get closer to the skin surface without getting indentations or irregularities.
There is less bruising.

Health insurance, MBS item numbers: can I get my Abdominoplasty operation covered

Wednesday Jan 31, 2024

In this podcast, I will give you an overview of how Private health insurance works and MBS item numbers.

I perform many operations that have MBS item numbers, including.

Post-weight loss body contouring surgery
Reduction Mammoplasty (Breast Reduction)
Blepharoplasty (Upper Eyelid) surgery
Gynaecomastia

If you want to have any of these operations, you must know how Private Health insurance and the medicare system work.

This podcast focuses mainly on Post weight loss surgery and surgery post pregnancy. Ranging from

Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
Belt lipectomy (body lift)
Fleur de lis abdominoplasty
Brachioplasty (arm lift)
Thighplasty (inner thigh lift)

I will also discuss breast surgery in the context of post weight loss and post pregnancy changes.

What is Medicare?

Medicare is the insurance scheme that gives Australian citizens and permanent residents access to healthcare.

Medicare is funded by Australian taxpayers who pay 2% of their taxable income to help cover costs.

If you have surgery or medical care in the Public Health system, you will not be out of pocket for these services.

The majority of the operations that I perform are generally not performed in public hospitals. You will, therefore, need to go to a private hospital.

This means that there will be additional costs to consider and this is where Private health insurance comes in.

The Medicare Benefits Schedule

This is the information that is provided on the Medicare website: https://www.mbsonline.gov.au/

The MBS is a key component of the Medicare system. It lists a range of professional services, and allocates a unique item number to each service, along with a description of the service. In broad terms, the types of services on the MBS include consultation and procedural/therapeutic (including surgical) services, as well as diagnostic services.

Subsidies for services by eligible health professionals take the form of Medicare benefits paid to the patient. The MBS sets out the ‘Schedule fee’ for each service and the rate/s at which the benefit for that service is to be calculated, as well as providing guidance on the clinical and administrative conditions under which benefits can be claimed. The rates of benefits are:

100 per cent of the Schedule fee for general practitioner services;
85 per cent of the Schedule fee for other out-of-hospital services; and
75 per cent of the Schedule fee for in-hospital services for private patients.

The Schedule fee is a fee-for-service set by the Australian Government, and may differ from the provider’s actual fee.

Medicare does not cover the Private Hospital charges. It will only cover the medical practitioner's costs.

The 'gap payment' or 'out of pocket' cost refers to the difference between the amount the doctor charges, and the amount that is paid by Medicare.

It's important to note that the MBS schedule fees have not kept up with inflation.

A rebate freeze was introduced by the Labor government in 2013 as a temporary savings measure. But it was kept in place and extended by the Coalition government until 2018. Even when the freeze was lifted, the annual rebate increase has never risen above inflation.

All other costs of running a practice have increased significantly over the last decade. So, in real terms, Medicare is paying significantly less than it did 10 years ago.

The costs of your operation will depend on a number of factors.

Anaesthetist fee
Surgeon fee
Assistant fee
Private Hospital Costs

If you do not have private health insurance, then you will need to pay the full charge of the hospital.

You will get 75% of the scheduled fee back for the anaesthetist and surgeon fee.

If you have private insurance and it covers your operation, then your hospital stay will be covered, and you will get a minimum of 100% of the scheduled fee from your private health.

I will go through an example to illustrate these costs for you. Note that the figures I use are only for illustrative purposes, not real. Every patient is unique and the costs will vary.

Lets have a look at an Abdominoplasty post weight loss.

30177

Lipectomy, excision of skin and subcutaneous tissue associated with redundant abdominal skin and fat that is a direct consequence of significant weight loss, in conjunction with a radical abdominoplasty, with or without repair of musculoaponeurotic layer and transposition of umbilicus

(a) there is intertrigo or another skin condition that risks loss of skin integrity and has failed 3 months of conventional (or non-surgical) treatment; and

(b) the redundant skin and fat interferes with the activities of daily living; and

(H)

(Anaes.) (Assist.)

Fee: $1,084.90 Benefit: 75% = $813.70

This operation takes around 4 hours and the usual hospital stay is anywhere from 2 days to 7 days.

The Hospital will charge at least 10,000 for the operation and then at least 1200 per day of hospital stay.

Lets say the hospital cost is $15,000

The anaesthetist will charge around $4000

The surgeon fee will be around $12,000

If you don’t have Private insurance then you will need to pay;

Hospital costs - 15,000

Anaesthetist - 4000 you should get a few hundred dollars back . The Anaesthetist MBS item numbers are very different from above, they depend on your health conditions and anaesthetic units.

Surgeon fee - you will get 75% back of the scheduled fee Benefit: 75% = $813.70

Total fee approximately: $29,686

If you have private health insurance that covers your operation then your cost would be:

Private Hospital costs $0 note however that a lot of private health insurers have an excess. usually around $500.

Your private health insurance has to pay you a minimum of 100% of the MBS scheduled fee.

Anaesthetist cost

Surgeon costs Minimum benefit paid back Fee: $1,084.90

The total costs for the operation would be around:

$14215.10

I hope this helps give you an overview of the system and what to expect.
