Tuberous Breasts and Medicare
Tuberous breast deformity surgery is a medical procedure and there are Medicare and private health rebates available. However, you will still have out-of-pocket costs. If you have an appropriate level of private health cover, your hospital fees will be billed to your health fund.
In order to qualify for rebates, you must have an official diagnosis of tubular breast deformity. Not every patient with small breasts has tubular breast disorder, and so not all breast augmentation mammoplasty patients are able to qualify for Medicare rebates. It’s crucial that you be evaluated for tuberous breast deformity prior to booking your surgery, if you would like to use private insurance to pay for your procedure.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner
