Dr Ben Norris, who is dedicated to the principle of healthy beauty, founded Form and Face. Unfortunately that’s not true of many of the men and women who perform breast implant surgery without having received a training.
Cosmetic Surgery is a billion dollar industry in Australia, and breast augmentation procedures are heavily in demand. As reported in the Sydney Morning Herald last November, it is not uncommon for a cosmetic surgery practice to see as many as 200 patients per week, paying close to $7,000 per procedure.
The explosion of interest in larger breasts—led in part by curvy celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Kate Upton, and Nicki Minaj—has led to an explosion of what 60 Minutes called “Cosmetic Cowboys”. They’re cosmetic surgeons whose interest in patient health and safety is eclipsed by their interest in profits.
We hope the information in this post will help you find the best plastic surgeon to perform breast augmentation and keep you safe from money-hungry doctors.
What Goes Into the Cost of a Breast Augmentation at Form & Face
When disreputable surgery centres quote an extremely low price, they may be intentionally omitting some of the pertinent costs to lure prospective patients in the door. There’s no mention of those hidden costs until after the surgery is complete, and the patient is presented with a bill that can be thousands of dollars more than expected.
At Form and Face, we offer an inclusive price that covers all aspects of breast implant surgery:
- Surgeon’s Fee
- Operating room cost
- Anaesthesia fee
- Cost of implants
- Follow-Up
4 Ways to Avoid Getting Burned by Low-Cost Breast Augmentation
When you consult with a surgeon regarding breast implant surgery, there are four questions you can ask that will identify a professional who can help you achieve your aesthetic goals without putting your health at risk.
- What is your training and experience with breast implant surgery? Knowledge and experience are the keys to a successful breast augmentation outcome. Dr Norris has undergone specialty training in the area of breast enhancement and has performed literally thousands of procedures.
- Where do you perform surgery? All of Dr Norris’ breast augmentations are performed in the hospital, where everything he needs is available to address the expected and the unexpected aspects of implant surgery.
- What kind of anaesthetic do you use? Breast augmentation is major surgery, and patients should always be put under general anaesthetic, supervised by a professional. Anything less is unacceptable and risky, says Dr Norris.
- What kind of implants are you using? Low-cost breast augmentation surgery may offer a limited choice in implants. Dr Norris works with patients to select the implant that will achieve optimal aesthetic results with proper balance and proportion.
If you are considering breast augmentation and would like to experience the highest level of expertise and professional care before, during and after your procedure, please contact Dr Norris on (02) 9387 3800 to schedule an exploratory consultation.
