These are published ranges, not quotes. Our sources don't report city-level prices, so these are national ranges.Ask clinics for an itemised written quote.
Before you accept a quote
- • Ask for an itemised written quote: surgeon, anaesthetist, hospital or theatre fee, implants or materials, garments and follow-up.
- • Ask what a revision or complication would cost, and who pays.
- • Some clinics offer payment plans or third-party finance. Ask for the full cost, fees and interest in writing before you agree.
- • Insurance cover depends on your policy. Get written pre-approval before you book.
Common questions, honest answers
Six of the questions we get most often. Costs are NZD ranges from the published sources listed in the price table above. Your actual quote will vary.
How do I check that a NZ surgeon is actually qualified?+
Three free public checks — do all three before booking surgery:
- MCNZ register at mcnz.org.nz — confirms current annual practising certificate and vocational scope. For plastic surgery the scope must read "Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery", not "Cosmetic Medicine" (those are separate scopes).
- NZAPS Find-a-Surgeon at plasticsurgery.org.nz — NZAPS membership requires FRACS plastic surgery fellowship plus ongoing CPD.
- RACS / FRACS at surgeons.org — FRACS plastic surgery = 5+ year specialty training after medical school.
"Cosmetic surgeon", "skin surgeon" and "surgeon with an interest in plastic surgery" are not protected titles in NZ — anyone with a basic medical degree can use them. The protected title is plastic and reconstructive surgeon on the MCNZ register.
How much does LASIK cost in NZ?+
Our sources put LASIK at $3,000 – $4,500 per eye in New Zealand. See the laser eye surgery cost guide.
What does a breast surgery quote actually include?+
A defensible NZ quote bundles five things:
- Surgeon fee (the largest single component)
- Hospital + theatre + anaesthetist fee
- Implant cost (for augmentation — typically Mentor, Motiva or Allergan, all Medsafe-notified)
- Pre-op consultations (usually 1–2 included)
- Post-op follow-up for the first 12 months (usually 4–6 visits)
Our sources put augmentation at $12,000 – $18,000 and reduction at $14,000 – $22,000. Compare clinic quotes. If a quote is dramatically below this range, ask what's not included — common omissions are anaesthetist, hospital, or revision in the first 12 months.
Is plastic / cosmetic surgery covered by ACC or insurance in NZ?+
It depends on whether the procedure is reconstructive or purely cosmetic:
- ACC covers accident-related reconstructive work (trauma, burns, melanoma excision after biopsy).
- Te Whatu Ora covers medically-necessary reconstructive surgery (post-mastectomy reconstruction, congenital deformity, severe burns) — subject to clinical prioritisation criteria, with long waitlists for non-urgent cases.
- Southern Cross / nib / AIA typically cover medically-necessary reconstructive work and may cover breast reduction if there's documented neck/back pain. Purely cosmetic procedures are excluded under almost every NZ policy.
Always check your policy schedule and get written pre-approval before surgery — verbal indications are not binding.
Are dental implants covered by Southern Cross or nib?+
Mostly no. NZ private health insurance generally excludes dental implants because they're classed as cosmetic — even when they replace a lost tooth. There are two exceptions worth checking:
- Dental add-ons on some policies contribute to dental costs up to a limit. Check your policy schedule.
- Accident-related tooth loss may be partially covered by ACC's dental treatment scheme — apply within 12 months of the accident.
Some clinics offer payment plans or third-party finance. Ask for the full cost, fees and interest in writing before you agree. Our sources put a single implant with crown at $5,500 – $8,500, and All-on-4 at $28,000 – $45,000 per arch.
How does ClinicCompare make money — and does that affect what I see?+
Honestly: when you submit a quote enquiry, we may share your details with up to 3 NZ medical clinics matched to your procedure and region (with your explicit consent under HIPC Rule 11). Partner clinics pay us per converted patient — never per lead, never per click.
Our ranking on /best/ pages is governed by a fixed published formula: log₁₀(reviews + 1) + verified bonus + NZAPS bonus. Partners cannot pay to appear higher. Listing is free for any NZ clinic with current MCNZ / Dental Council / NZAPS registration. Read our full methodology.
