Face Surgery FAQ
Yes. In accordance with AHPRA regulations, a GP referral is mandatory before consulting a Specialist Plastic Surgeon for any cosmetic or reconstructive procedure. Your referral also ensures you are eligible to claim a Medicare rebate for your initial consultation.
Recovery timelines vary significantly depending on the specific procedure. A minor procedure like a lip lift or upper eyelid surgery may require only a few days of downtime, whereas a structural rhinoplasty or facelift generally requires 1 to 2 weeks off work. Detailed, step-by-step recovery protocols are provided during your consultation.
Yes, it is common to combine procedures to maintain overall facial balance and consolidate your recovery period. For example, a deep plane facelift is frequently paired with a neck lift or blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). Dr Barnouti will advise if combining surgeries is safe and appropriate for your individual health profile.
Choosing the correct procedure requires a comprehensive assessment of your facial anatomy, tissue laxity, and underlying bone structure. During your consultation, Dr Barnouti will evaluate your proportions and discuss whether your goals are best met through structural changes (like rhinoplasty), restorative lifting (like a facelift), or a combination of techniques.
Mandatory Surgical Warning
Surgical Warning: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner. Please read our Risks and Complications of Plastic Surgery page.
GP Referral & Assessment Requirements
In accordance with the latest April 2026 AHPRA and Medical Board of Australia regulations, all patients seeking a consultation for cosmetic surgery must obtain a referral from their General Practitioner (GP). This ensures your medical history is reviewed by an independent doctor who can discuss your motivations and goals before you meet with a specialist.
A mandatory seven-day cooling-off period applies after your initial consultation before surgery can be booked. Patients are also encouraged to seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner before proceeding. These requirements exist to protect patients and to ensure every decision is fully informed and free of pressure.
