Your Consultation Journey in Gold Coast
Our patient-focused process ensures you are fully informed and comfortable at every stage. We adhere strictly to the guidelines set by the medical board for all cosmetic procedures.
01
 Obtain a GP Referral
Before booking an appointment, a GP referral is essential. The referral should specify your interest in “cosmetic surgery,” “liposuction,” or “liposculpture”.
02
Your Consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive, hour-long initial consultation with Dr. Heckenberg. During this time, every aspect of the procedure is planned and discussed- from your goals and expectations to pre- and post-operative care and potential complications. We provide a full breakdown of costs for complete transparency.
03
Cooling Off Period
After a second consultation takes place, a further “cooling off” period of seven days is required by medical regulations. This allows you ample time for reflection before you decide to book a procedure.

A Dedicated Focus on Lipoedema
Lipoedema is a chronic and often misunderstood medical condition characterised by a painful, abnormal accumulation of fat cells, typically in the limbs and buttocks. It disproportionately affects women and may affect mobility and day-to-day activities.
At our Gold Coast clinic, Dr. Heckenberg and our team provide a compassionate and understanding environment for patients seeking help with this condition. The goal of liposuction for Lipoedema is not purely cosmetic; it is a therapeutic procedure aimed at removing abnormal fatty tissue from the affected limbs that may assist with reducing pain, improving mobility, and slowing disease progression. Outcomes vary for each individual. If you have been diagnosed with or suspect you have Lipoedema, we are here to help you understand your options.
Liposuction Techniques Available
At Be Sculptured, we champion the pioneering tumescent local anaesthetic technique invented by Dr. Jeffrey Klein in 1987. This globally acclaimed method involves administering local anaesthesia to targeted areas of the body before the liposuction process.
This technique enables procedures under local anaesthesia, enhancing patient comfort and allowing for precise positioning during the process.
Dr. Meaghan Heckenberg’s preference for this method underscores its effectiveness and patient-centric approach. Sedation accompanies the procedure, enhancing relaxation during the few hours it takes, aiming for a seamless experience.
Learn more about the process on our FAQs page.
