An Australian quote covers the surgery. Ours covers the trip — surgery, flights, accommodation, transfers and insurance. Compare them below, procedure by procedure. Where Brazil isn't cheaper, we say so.
Credentials and outcomes checked before any surgeon joins the panel

Surgery, flights, hotel, transfers and insurance in a single AUD figure
Savings vs typical Australian pricing
Choose a procedure to see the validated Australian band beside a complete all-in cost through Nuviya, plus the clinical variables that move each quote.
Choose a procedure
One area, usually under twilight sedation in a day-surgery unit. The range moves with the volume of fat removed, whether the surgeon uses power-assisted or ultrasound-assisted technique, anaesthetist time and the compression garments included afterwards.
Liposuction (single area)
No standalone liposuction package published
The all-in figure covers the surgery, return flights, accommodation for the recovery stay, visa and transfers, complimentary medical-travel insurance and Nuviya's flat service fee. It is built from the cheapest defensible combination, so it can never overstate the difference.
This is a “from” price: the surgery component is the most affordable surgeon on the Nuviya panel for this procedure. You may choose a different surgeon at a different price.
Single-area liposuction sits at or near parity once travel is counted on validated Australian pricing. We show it rather than hiding it, and we do not advertise a saving on it. All amounts in AUD.
The largest difference between the two cards above is not the surgery — it is scope. Always ask a practice, in either market, for a written itemised quote.
Included in the headline figure in both markets.
Australian quotes frequently itemise the anaesthetist separately.
Often billed by the facility directly in Australia.
Included in the Nuviya all-in figure on this page.
You would be recovering at home in Australia.
Included in the Brazil all-in figure.
Complimentary — Nuviya pays for this cover on your behalf.
Nuviya's flat A$1,500 service fee is inside the all-in figure.

Brazil figures are “from” prices — the most affordable surgeon on the Nuviya panel for that procedure. You may choose a different surgeon at a different price. Flights and accommodation are shown as ranges. This is a general estimate — your matched surgeon provides exact package pricing. All figures in AUD.
Facial surgery is where marketing language has drifted furthest from clinical reality. What the techniques actually are, what each costs, and why the recovery is longer than anyone tells you.
Australian quotes for a mummy makeover run from A$22,000 to A$47,000, and almost none of them are like-for-like. What the operation actually is, what drives the range, where Medicare fits, and how the all-in Brazil figure compares.
Quotes for the same abdominoplasty can differ by more than $15,000. The three types of tummy tuck, what the Australian quote leaves out, what recovery is really like, and how the all-in Brazil figure compares.
Augmentation, lift and reduction are three different operations with three different price tags. Which one your anatomy actually calls for, what each costs in Australia, and where the Brazil saving is largest — and smallest.
Tell us your procedure and timing, and we'll match you with verified, English-speaking Brazilian specialists — with written, all-in pricing.
Compare my surgeonsIt is not a discount on the surgery itself. Brazil trains an unusually large number of plastic surgeons, operates at very high volume, and has far lower theatre, staffing and indemnity costs than Australia. The surgeon's skill is not what is being reduced — the overheads around them are.

Methodology: Australian figures are compiled from published, dated Australian price lists from practising surgeons and from professional-body patient guidance. They are indicative bands, not quotes.
Savings are measured against the Australian median, never the top of the market, so the comparison is against a typical price rather than the most expensive one available.
The Brazil column is a “from” price, not a band. The surgery component is the cheapest real fee — surgeon, hospital and anaesthetist — published by a Nuviya panel surgeon who accepts international patients, converted at the ECB reference rate. It reflects the most affordable surgeon on our panel for that procedure; you may choose a different surgeon at a different price.
On top of the surgery it adds the cheapest departure fare, the cheapest nightly rate, the shortest clinically appropriate stay, visa and transfers, and Nuviya's flat A$1,500 service fee. Medical-travel insurance is complimentary and paid by Nuviya, so it adds nothing to the total.
Final cost always depends on an individual assessment by your surgeon. Fares, exchange rates and accommodation prices move.
