WE ACCEPT

Finance options offered through third party companies and are independent of Inigo Cosmetic. Patients are encouraged to research different finance options before committing to a payment plan. It is important that patients are in a good financial position before undergoing any elective surgery or non-surgical procedure in the event that a revision procedure is required.

Initial Consultation

If you book and/or receive a treatment from Inigo Cosmetic, you acknowledge your understanding and acceptance of our pricing structure and policies. If you do not understand and accept the clinics pricing structure and policies, do not book and/or receive a treatment from Inigo Cosmetic. We may revise the pricing structure and policies at any time and at our sole discretion.

Surgical Consultation

All patients seeking cosmetic surgery must have a referral, preferably from their usual general practitioner. If that is not possible, from another general practitioner or other specialist medical practitioner. The referring medical practitioner must work independently of the medical practitioner who will perform the surgery and must not perform cosmetic surgery, or non-surgical cosmetic procedures themselves.

A patient seeking cosmetic surgery must have at least two pre-operative consultations prior to booking in a surgery date. The medical practitioner who will perform the surgery will assess the patient for underlying psychological conditions such as body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), which may make them an unsuitable candidate for the surgery.

The cost for an initial surgical consultation is $250. This fee is required to be paid at the time of booking, to secure your appointment time. The initial consultation fee is non-refundable, and rescheduling requires 48-hours notice. The $250 booking fee includes first and second consultation; all additional consultations will be charged at $100 within the first 12 months. This consultation fee is not deducted from the cost of surgery, if you decide to proceed.

Book Consultation

Non-Surgical Consultation

The cost for an initial consultation, for a non-surgical cosmetic procedure, is $75. The cost is redeemable on product or treatment on the same day. (Excluding thread consultations)

For subsequent consultations, the fees may vary, according to the type of follow-up appointment, or time passed after your surgery or procedure.

Please contact us if you have any questions regarding the cost of your consultation prior to your appointment.

Medicare and Private Health Insurance

Inigo Cosmetic has no association with Medicare or Private Health Insurance, which means there are no eligible rebates associated with surgery.

Medicare or Private Health Insurance do not offer rebates on elective cosmetic procedures. There are very strict guidelines, for an operation to qualify as a necessary medical procedure.

Accounts

All accounts and fees are required to be settled three weeks prior to your scheduled surgery. Failure of payment will result in cancellation of your surgery. The clinic will issue a receipt, once payment has been made.

Payments

The clinic accepts cash, Visa, Mastercard, or payment can be paid via bank transfer.

Inigo Cosmetic do not offer payment plans. There are third-party companies that offer loans for cosmetic procedures; these can be found online, via a Google search.

We do recommend that all patients are in good financial standing before undergoing elective cosmetic surgery.
