Cosmetic plastic surgery is a type of elective surgery that aims to improve a person’s appearance by altering or enhancing their physical features. The procedures are typically done on the face, breasts or body, and can include things like facelifts, breast augmentations, liposuction, and tummy tucks.

During your consultation with Dr Terrence Scamp, he will review your medical history, evaluate your physical features, and discuss your goals for the procedure. Dr Terrence Scamp may also use computer imaging (Vectra 3D Imaging) to show you what your results could look like.

Recovery time varies depending on the procedure, but generally, patients should expect some discomfort, swelling, and bruising for several days to weeks following surgery. Your surgeon will give you specific instructions on how to care for yourself during the recovery period.

In most cases, cosmetic plastic surgery is not covered by insurance since it is considered an elective procedure.

When choosing a plastic surgeon, it’s important to do your research and select someone who is board-certified and has experience performing the specific procedure you’re interested in. A cosmetic plastic surgeon, like Dr Terrence Scamp, should be a qualified medical practitioner who has completed a specialist training program in plastic surgery accredited by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS). They should also be registered with AHPRA and have a current medical license.
