Where your surgery takes place
Your consultation is at Woollahra, and your surgery is performed in an accredited private hospital. Dr Laniewski operates at Sydney Adventist Hospital in Wahroonga, Lakeview Private Hospital in Bella Vista and Westmead Private Hospital in Westmead.
For Eastern Suburbs patients this means travelling across the city on the day of surgery, typically 30 to 45 minutes to Wahroonga or Westmead outside peak periods. We mention it plainly because it affects how you plan the day, who drives you home and when you arrange help. Consultations and most follow-up appointments remain at Woollahra where clinically appropriate.

What to expect at your consultation
Australia regulates cosmetic surgery tightly, and the process is designed to make sure your decision is well informed. Before your first consultation for a cosmetic surgical procedure, you will need a referral from your GP. Your pathway then includes:
- At least two pre-operative consultations, with at least one in person with Dr Laniewski.
- A psychological assessment for suitability, including screening for body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). If significant concerns are identified, you will be referred to an independent GP, psychologist or psychiatrist before any surgery.
- A mandatory 7-day cooling-off period for adults, following your consultations, before surgery can be booked or a deposit paid.
- For patients under 18, a minimum 3-month cooling-off period and assessment by an independent GP, psychologist or psychiatrist. Cosmetic surgery that is not clinically necessary is generally discouraged for minors.
At your consultation, Dr Laniewski will discuss your goals, examine you, explain the realistic options and their risks, and provide written information. All surgery carries risks, and results vary between individuals.
Fees, Medicare and private health insurance
Fees depend on the specific procedure, its complexity and where it is performed, so a fully itemised written quote is provided after your consultation. A typical surgical fee estimate covers the surgeon’s fee, the anaesthetist’s fee, the hospital or theatre fee and post-operative care.
A Medicare rebate and a private health insurance contribution may apply when a procedure has a documented medical or functional component, for example upper eyelid surgery where excess skin obstructs vision, nasal surgery to correct breathing, breast reduction that meets criteria, or skin cancer excision. Purely cosmetic procedures do not attract a Medicare rebate or health-fund contribution. Payment and finance options are explained on the payment options page. We do not publish fixed prices, because an accurate figure requires an individual clinical assessment.
