Dr Justin Perron sees patients who travel to Brisbane from interstate and overseas. Surgery away from home needs more planning than surgery close to home, so this page explains what to expect before you book flights or accommodation.
All cosmetic surgery in Australia must follow the Medical Board of Australia’s guidelines for cosmetic surgery. These apply to every patient, wherever they live:
These steps mean you should plan to be in Brisbane, or to travel more than once, well before your surgery date.
An initial video consultation may be possible to talk through your concerns and whether travelling for surgery is practical for you. It does not replace the in-person consultation with Dr Perron that is required before cosmetic surgery.
When planning your stay, please consider:
All surgery carries risk. When you travel for surgery, complications such as infection, wound healing problems, fluid collections or blood clots may appear after you have returned home, when your surgeon is not close by. Some complications need prompt review or further surgery. Dr Perron will discuss your individual risks at consultation, and we encourage you to talk with your GP before deciding to travel for surgery.
You can read more about surgery risks and complications, specific procedures such as breast augmentation with Dr Perron and having your tummy tuck in Brisbane, or our frequently asked questions.
Every patient’s needs are different, so fees are provided as an individual written quote after your consultation with Dr Perron. Your quote will set out the surgeon’s, anaesthetist’s and hospital fees. Overseas visitors are generally not eligible for Medicare rebates, so please check your own insurance cover before you travel.
