Aesthetic Plastic Surgery with Reconstructive Expertise

As a Specialist Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, Dr O’Mahony is also highly trained in cosmetic and aesthetic plastic surgery. She believes her extensive training, experience and skills in reconstructive surgery are fundamental to her practice as an expert cosmetic surgeon.

This reconstructive foundation means that every cosmetic procedure benefits from a deep understanding of anatomy, healing, and surgical techniques, ensuring both beautiful and safe outcomes.

Understanding cosmetic surgery

Cosmetic surgery focuses on enhancing appearance and aesthetic outcomes. While these procedures are typically not covered by Medicare or private health insurance, they can make a significant difference to how you feel about yourself and your confidence.

Dr O’Mahony approaches cosmetic surgery with the same care, attention to detail, and commitment to patient wellbeing that she brings to all her work. She will take the time to understand your goals, discuss realistic expectations, and ensure you feel completely informed before proceeding.

Health fund coverage

Breast reduction is considered a medically necessary procedure rather than purely cosmetic, which means Medicare and private health funds may provide some coverage for the surgery.

However, it’s important to understand that most health funds will not cover the entire cost of the procedure.

Dr O’Mahony’s office can provide you with a detailed quote after your consultation, which will help you understand what costs may be covered and what your out-of-pocket expenses might be.
