Frequently Asked Questions

Does my surgeon perform my procedure on a regular basis?

Asking your surgeon how often they perform your procedure will help you understand their experience level.

What are the possible risks and complications of my procedure?

All surgery, cosmetic and reconstructive, whether performed under local or general anaesthetic, in day surgery or in hospitals, can carry serious risk With a substantial rise in the number of Australians undergoing cosmetic procedures in the last 10 years, cosmetic surgery has become ‘normalised’ and accepted as common place.

It can’t be underestimated that cosmetic surgery is not unlike any other kind of surgery in that it carries serious risk and therefore needs to be seriously considered. A patient can have an adverse reaction to the anaesthetic or be affected by postoperative complications. These problems can occur even when the surgery has been performed with the utmost skill. In addition results cannot be guaranteed. The best way to reduce risk is to consult a Specialist Plastic Surgeon that is fully trained and qualified.

Will the surgery be performed in an accredited facility?

ASPS Specialist Plastic Surgeons perform surgeries only in accredited facilities. In Australia it is not illegal to conduct surgical procedures in an unaccredited facility such as an office space or day procedure centre. In these settings there is often no quality assurance and no way for authorities to monitor that the surgery is being performed safely and expertly. Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons believes that Australian consumers need to be protected, making it mandatory for all facilities undertaking invasive cosmetic surgery procedures to meet the practice standards of the Australian Day Surgery Council and have compulsory registrations and accreditation to ensure:

  • Anaesthesia use is safe
  • Infection control, sterile supply and clinical waste management
  • Minimum quality and audit requirements (e.g. medicines checked they have not reached their used by dates and are kept at the right temperatures)
  • Credentialing of clinical staff
  • Building and facility issues (e.g. the resuscitation equipment works)

Will a qualified Anaesthetists administer the medication?

You may like to discuss this with your surgeon in your consultation. Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons, Specialist Plastic Surgeons only use qualified Anaesthetists.
