Cost of reconstruction
Hi I'm looking for more information on the usual cost of reconstruction. My surgeon has quoted me around $11000. She seems great and I can have the surgery in March which is fantastic but I hadn't tho...

How do you find a surgeon that will work in a public hospital? My surgeon (who did my bi-lateral mastectomy) recommended me to the private plastic surgeon so now I trust her and am nervous to go elsewhere. I was told today that the wait time at the local public hospital is about 2 years before the surgery can be done. My $11K quote already has the medicare and BUPA rebates deducted. Basically the private insurance covers the scheduled fees only (and the hospital when I pay my excess) but it doesn't cover the plastic surgeons own additional fees which are an extra $8k!! Has anyone had a reconstruction in a public hospital that they are happy with? Thanks for all your responses it's great to be able to ask all these questions xx
