Consultations

To make an appointment, please contact 02 8544 3270.

You are required to have a consultation with Dr Andre Safvat at Ethique Plastic Surgery in either Miranda, Bowral or Concord rooms, prior to any procedure / surgery being booked for you.

Ethique Plastic Surgery are located in three different locations – Miranda, Bowral & Concord

• Your Referral
• Medicare details, Private Health Fund details, DVA and Pensioner (full aged pensioner only) details if applicable.
• Your completed Patient Information form if you have not already submitted it online.
• Any pathology, radiology, previous surgery details that are relevant as well as current medication information and any other documentation or information that may be relevant.

A referral is required for all medical and cosmetic consultations and must be brought to the appointment on the day of your consultation or sent to us prior to the day.

It is now an AHPRA requirement that all cosmetic patients bring a valid referral from their GP specifying the reason for a consultation with Dr Safvat.  Legally, Dr Safvat will be unable to see the patient if the referral is not available at the time of the appointment.

During the consultation, Ethique Plastic Surgery’s Dr Andre Safvat, will give you detailed information relevant to your needs and desired outcome. Dr Safvat will discuss the following (amongst other things):

• Options for treatment
• The procedure
• Any risks
• The expected outcome
• Recovery expectations
• An indication of whether your procedure is medically required – Medicare/Health Fund rebates may be available if the procedure is classified as medically required.
• Answer your questions

Following the appointment, you will be given a thorough estimate of fees for any potential procedure, including rebate estimates from Medicare and Private Health Funds (where applicable), so you know exactly what you are up for in terms of costs. There is absolutely no obligation to go ahead with any sort of procedure after having a consultation and receiving an estimate.

For standard consultations such as skin cancers, skin lesions and hand issues, please call Ethique Plastic Surgery at 02 8544 3270 during business hours to reschedule or cancel an appointment.
