FAQs

A chemical peel causes a controlled chemical injury to the skin. This then promotes the skin cells and collagen to re-model during healing which helps with blemishes, skin tone and fine wrinkles.

A chemical peel is added with a Facelift to treat the skin.

All plastic surgery is invasive and has risks *

Dr Jack Zoumaras has dedicated his Plastic Surgery profession to surgery on the Face as this was his area of interest since the start of his internship as a doctor. Further to this he has been inspired through his work in the best facelift centres around the world from San Francisco to New York and Paris, where he learned from the best. Dr Jack Zoumaras has been invited by his peers to teach on Facelift anatomy and to present to other Plastic Surgeons on the international stage. Dr Jack Zoumaras is a peer reviewed Facelift surgeon, educator and author on Facelift surgery.

Outside the surgery anaesthetic and hospital fees other fees include blood tests and any x rays that may be necessary. Occasionally physiotherapy is also required but these items will be discussed as needed. For body and breast surgery a compression garment will need to be purchased for your own post operative comfort.

Artiste Plastic Surgery is based in Sydney, and is led by world trained and Face Expert and Specialist Plastic Surgeon, Dr Zoumaras.  It is a high-end, clinic that offers world class service and professionalism, this means we only use state of the art hospital facilities that are safe and accredited. Some surgical procedures attract medicare item numbers, which means if you have a health fund, the hospital fee may be partly covered or covered entirely. If you are having  a Facelift or if you do not have insurance then there is a hospital fee to pay. This hospital fee represents the time in surgery and accommodation in the hospital. This is to reimburse the hospital staff involved with your surgery, ultimately keeping you safe, (there are a minimum of 3 nurses in the operating theatre at any one time). The fee also includes consumables, such as dressings, sutures, medications and food when you are recovering. The other key figure in your surgery is the anaesthetist who safely puts you to sleep and keeps you asleep throughout the duration of your surgery, and then manages your pain post operatively. Along with the Plastic Surgeon, and his assistant, there is a minimum of 5 personnel in any surgical theatre at any one time. All plastic surgery has risks and if these risks occur they will be managed asap.

As you can see having an operation is a team effort that follows a number of procedures and protocols much like a plane does to take off and land and as such, it does require a financial investment.

The anaesthetic fees ranges from $650-800 per hour of surgery, and if the surgical procedure itself takes 1 hour, you often need to take into consideration another 30 minutes for transitioning you to sleep and waking up. Hospital fees can vary from $3,500 to $12,000 for 1-9 hour surgery.

Having plastic surgery is a personal choice. There are variable factors that come into play. How experienced is your surgeon, does he/she have expertise in that specialised field of work. Not all surgeons have the same skill level or training or experience, much like not all builders, designers, hotels, and restaurants are at the same level. Dr Jack Zoumaras is an internationally trained Plastic Surgeon, with world Facelift experience and training. He is also an author and educator on the subject. Dr Jack Zoumaras constantly gets invited to discuss and teach other plastic surgeons about Facelifts.  He is also a reviewer for medical journals and chairman of the NSW state chapter for the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

Dr Zoumaras fees are reflective of the skills, training and experience of over 10 years in Facelift surgery.

Dr Zoumaras and staff do not offer no gap plastic surgery and as such even with medicare rebate items such as eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty out of pocket expenses still apply.
