    The odd thing about Australia is that this is considered cosmetic surgery as opposed to the US where it is reconstructive surgery after breast cancer.

    BTW, in 1998 the legislature mandated that breast reconstruction after cancer would always be paid for by insurance companies, Medicaid and Medicare. That included revisions for symmetry. In Australia, there is no such mandate.
