Do I Have to Pay to Get Breast Implant Removal After Infection? I'm having an infection on my left breast 4 weeks after the breast augmentation. My doctor suggests implant removal, however, he also ask me to pay a fee of 1,782 dollars just to remove. When I first felt something wrong, I went to visited him,he told me I was fine.It got worse and redness started to show,when I visited him again, he asked me to remove the implant, and there is a pretty big fee comes with it. I just want to know if it is fair.

A: surgery fees

Removal of implants for complications in my practice is free. The only fee involved would be charges for anesthesia or the facility fees. If performed in my center I would comp my patient to avoid problems. People often want a refund of the original cosmetic fees if they are dissatisfied. I do not refund such fees, but I try to avoid further charges.

Do I Need to Remove my Saline Implants As They Are 23 Years Old? I have had my implants for over 23 years with no problems. They were inserted under the pectorial muscles.

A: do nothing

There is a lot of “Urban Legend" stuff about implants. I hear about the need to get new ones every 10 years in my office ever day. That is all bogus. Leave saline implants alone if you like the shape and the look. If an implant collapses then replace as soon as possible.

What is the Capsule That Many Doctors Refer to with Regards to Breast Implants? I am exploring breast implant explantation, and in many Q&As, the Doctors refer to the 'capsule' created by the implant. What is this made of? What are they refering to? And what are the risks associated with keeping it in the body versus removing it? I am also keen to understand the risks associated with local versus general anesthetic for the explantation. I had silicon implants put in 16 years ago when I was 21 years old. I had a 32A cup prior to the operation and a 32C after. Thanks!

A: capsules around implants

simply put, the capsule is scar tissue. it is a colection of collagen (scar tissue) which surrounds the implant. the scars may be soft or thick but it is neverheless scar tissue.
