Out Of Town Patients

All patients seeking cosmetic surgery must have a GP referral. You will need to have two consultation appointments prior to booking in surgery.

At least one of your consultations must be done in clinic. You will need to wait 7 days following your second consultation before booking in a surgery date.

• In Clinic Consultation days are Monday and Wednesdays

• Virtual Consultation days are Thursdays and Fridays

• Surgery is performed on Tuesdays at Canossa Day Hospital

• You must stay in Brisbane for a minimum of 48 hours after surgery

A support person will be required to pick you up from the hospital as well accompany you for the duration of your stay.

If you are unable to find someone to accompany you, Dr Chinsee's team can provide you with the details of a reputable nursing agency.

The day after surgery, our nurse or patient co-ordinator will conduct a postoperative review by telephone and answer any questions or concerns you may have.

Dressing changes are performed once a week for three weeks. You can have your dressing change appointment in clinic with one of our Nurses on a Monday or Thursdays, or we can provide you with a detailed letter to give to your local GP.

We ask that all patients remind their practitioner to use their phone to take clinical images of the surgical incisions, and to follow the dressing change letter exactly.

You will have postoperative appointments scheduled with Dr. Chinsee throughout the following year. These can be done in person or via the phone. Your six and twelve week appointment with Dr. Chinsee are non-negotiable however your six and twelve month post operative appointments are optional.

We strongly recommend that all patients travelling for surgery with Dr Chinsee obtain travel insurance. In the event your surgery is cancelled, rescheduled or if you have to stay longer than anticipated, travel insurance may help cover associated costs such as flights and accommodation.
