Understanding surgery and treatment costs
The cost of surgery or treatment depends on the procedure, the extent of treatment and your individual needs.
At Me Clinic, assessment helps establish a suitable plan and a more accurate estimate. For surgery, complexity and expected time in theatre can affect the fee. For skin and other non-surgical treatments, the area, treatment approach and number of sessions may affect the cost.
A starting price is a guide. Your written quote explains the proposed treatment, the fees and what is included.
What does your quoted fee include?
Specialist surgeon fees and separate provider costs
For procedures performed by a Specialist Plastic Surgeon, the surgeon’s fee is one part of the overall cost.
Other charges may include:
- Hospital or day-surgery facility fees.
- Anaesthetist fees.
- Implants or other procedure-specific items.
- An assistant’s fee, where applicable.
Some providers bill separately. Your estimate will identify these costs and explain any amounts that need confirmation.
A surgeon’s fee should not be mistaken for the complete cost of surgery.
Inclusive liposuction pricing with Dr Kwok Hao Lie
Dr Kwok Hao Lie’s supported liposuction pathway at an accredited day-surgery facility can be quoted using an inclusive fee.
The quote explains the applicable doctor, theatre and anaesthetist fees, along with garment arrangements and other inclusions.
The price depends on your surgical needs and expected time in theatre. Treating additional areas or completing more extensive work can change the estimate. An inclusive quote applies to the agreed plan; it does not automatically include every treatment area.
Non-surgical treatment fees
Non-surgical pricing depends on the service, treatment area and proposed plan. Some treatments are priced per appointment, while others may involve a course.
Your practitioner will explain the recommended approach and cost before you proceed. Cosmetic-medicine pricing is discussed through an individual enquiry or consultation.

Consultation costs
Consultation fees vary according to the practitioner and appointment type.
Our consultation costs page explains the confirmed fees, second-consultation inclusions, fee-redemption qualifications and follow-up arrangements.
The consultation fee is separate from the cost of treatment unless a specific redemption arrangement applies.
Your personalised estimate
After assessment, Me Clinic provides financial information for the proposed plan.
Check that you understand:
- The procedure or treatment being quoted.
- The applicable practitioner’s fee.
- Any separate provider charges.
- Garments, implants or other inclusions.
- Planned follow-up appointments.
- Payment arrangements and relevant terms.
Planned follow-up and post-operative appointments are included up to the usual number for your procedure. Appointments beyond that schedule may attract an additional fee, which our team can explain.
Ask about anything unclear before proceeding. If your treatment plan changes, the estimate may also change.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a starting price the total cost?
Only where it is clearly identified as an inclusive price for the stated plan. A surgeon’s starting fee is a component of the overall cost, and separate provider charges may apply.
Why can prices vary?
The treatment area, complexity, practitioner and expected operating time can affect the quote. Your assessment helps establish the work required rather than relying on a general price alone.
Is liposuction pricing inclusive?
Dr Kwok Hao Lie’s accredited day-surgery pathway can use inclusive pricing for the agreed plan. Confirm the exact inclusions, garment arrangements and treatment areas in your written quote.
Are follow-up appointments included?
Planned follow-up and post-operative appointments are included up to the usual number for the procedure. Additional appointments beyond that schedule may attract a separate charge.
Could Medicare or private health insurance contribute?
A contribution may be available where the service meets the relevant eligibility criteria. A referral or Medicare item number does not guarantee that every fee is covered; confirm any expected benefits and remaining costs before proceeding.
