Frequently asked questions — Brisbane

Key points people ask about cosmetic surgery in Brisbane, from referral and consent to travel, costs and complaints.

Do I need a GP referral for cosmetic surgery in Brisbane?

Yes. In Australia, cosmetic surgery requires a referral from a GP or other non-cosmetic medical specialist before seeing the practitioner who may perform the surgery.

Is there a cooling-off period?

Yes. There must be a cooling-off period of at least seven days after two consultations and informed consent before surgery can be booked or a deposit paid.

What procedures are commonly researched in Brisbane?

Breast augmentation, breast reduction, rhinoplasty, tummy tuck, liposuction, facelift, eyelid surgery and gynaecomastia surgery are common, along with revision help.

What should I compare besides price?

Registration and relevant experience, consultation quality, risk and limitation clarity, facility and anaesthesia plan, aftercare, complication management and quote detail.

What if I live outside Brisbane?

Plan accommodation, transport home, a support person, follow-up appointments and what happens if you need unexpected review after returning home.

What if something goes wrong?

Raise concerns with the clinic first. If unresolved, the Queensland Office of the Health Ombudsman accepts complaints, and Ahpra provides a national pathway.

Can I complain if I signed an NDA?

Yes. Ahpra states that an NDA does not prevent a patient from making a complaint to a regulator or complaints body.
