soren711 Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 I'm very unsure and need some direction! I want to have a BA and have mostly been focussing on TCI and travelling to Sydney. But I have small children and no one to look after them if my partner comes with me. I'm now also looking into Esteem Cosmetics in canberra, however they perform the surgery in sydney. Does anyone know what the requirements are for after surgery? Are u expected to stay overnight? Finally, I'd like to get an idea of the cost of going with a canberra based PS? ab1990 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mummytotwo Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Hi I looked into tci and for interstate patients their requirements are- You must have a carer with you. If you are unable to bring someone they can give you details of carers that you can use. Not sure on the charge for this. Also the flight company you choose will not allow you to fly within 24-48 hours within having the op. Hope this helps ☺ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab1990 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hi there was a member on here who travelled back to Canberra after her surgery in Sydney, then had her post op appointments in Canberra. I went through esteem as well and had Dr Ali Hussain but I had my surgery done in Brisbane. Message me if you have any questions about him or the surgery!

soren711 Posted April 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Thank you both! I've read heaps about Dr Ali Hussain and he seems really good. I'm not sure if he performs surgeries in only brisbane or in sydney also? Did u get to choose your surgeon through Esteem ab1990? ab1990 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Hussain is pretty much the only surgeon doing breast implants at esteem, my friend referred me to another surgeon but he wasn't available so I booked in with Dr Hussain instead. He operates out of both Sydney and Brisbane but I know you can have your consult/post op appointments from Canberra as that's where the head office is located and the owner Rena and admin girl Kathryn are based, they both travel up to Brisbane on a rotating basis when they need to.

soren711 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Booked a consult with Dr Ali at Esteem in Canberra for late May. Do u know how long the wait is between consult and surgery ab1990? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab1990 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I could of had surgery the following fortnight or within the month but I waited 7 weeks go fit in with my annual leave , think his getting more and more booked up as more girls catch into the cheaper pricing!

GStar Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 I'm going to a Sydney surgeon and I'm from Canberra! If you're interstate they usually organise your last consult to be the day before your surgery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
