Only if it's medically necessary. Medicare won't cover a thigh lift for cosmetic reasons, but if your specialist can demonstrate functional impairment or medical need, you may qualify for a rebate. You'll need a referral and clinical evidence. The rebate covers part of the fee but you'll still have a gap.
Expect 2-3 weeks off work, compression garment for 4-6 weeks. Your specialist will give you a personalised timeline based on your situation.
As with any surgery, there are risks including infection, bleeding, scarring, and reactions to anaesthesia. Serious complications are uncommon but possible. Your surgeon should explain the specific risks for your case before you consent.
Check AHPRA registration first. Look for a specialist surgeon with specific experience in this procedure. Get at least two quotes, ask about complication rates, and don't let price alone drive your decision. CostDoc shows what real patients have paid across providers.
