Go back to your original surgeon.
I suggest that you return to your original surgeon for the best price. I agree with the range given by the other surgeons who have responded.

Augmentation "Bottoming Out"
It appears that the right crease is lower than the left. Prices vary by region in this country and I'm sure they do so in the UK as well. In the Minneapolis area, this may range from $3-6000 depending on what is needed. I agree with my colleagues that you would most likely get the best price from your original surgeon. If you still trust in them, then I would go back to them. By the way, this is something that all of us see from time to time and is not necessarily a sign of a poor...

Revision of breast augmentation
The revision of a breast augmentation can consist of many elements. The cost of such a revision will vary tremendously depending on the amount of work needed. The surgeon's fee can vary from $3000 to $8000. Be sure and consult a breast revision specialist.
All the best,

Breast Revision-Be Careful
You have had your implants in for only 1 year, that is not a long time. The right crease is a little low and i do understand your concern. The correction is another surgery to lift the implant and a suture technique to raise the implant above the fold. this can work very well. The average price may be 3 to 4 thousand.
Remember, when ever a women gets implants this is a life long issues and will need revision surgery throughout your life. Each...

Correction of Bottomed Out Breasts
This is a challenging problem to fix. For minor bottoming out, sutures can be placed along the bottom of the breast to correct this problem. Recurrence of this problem is always a risk. For more severe cases, I have had great success using Lifecell Alloderm or Strattice (matrix sheet of collagen) to create an internal "bra" to help lift up the implant, or reset the fold, and/or definitely correct the problem of bottoming out. ...

For Revision, See Your Original Surgeon
Your best bet is to return to the surgeon who performed you breast augmentation.
Your surgeon will be much less expensive than staring with a new surgeon.
Your surgeon has more information to help with the revision: he knows about your preoperative appearance, specifics of the surgical technique, and how your body responded to surgery.

Breast revision cost
Your right implant has bottomed out, as you have surmised. Correction needs to take place in the OR, under anesthesia, and would take anywhere from 1-2.5 hours, depending on the exact type of correction. You can generally expect to cover the cost of the OR and anesthesia. If you return to your original surgeon, there may or may not be a discount for his/her fee. After all, bottoming out can occur, even if everything was technically correct at the time of surgery...

Revision breast surgery
The first thing you should do is return to the original surgeon for advice and information regarding surgery. The cost will typically be less if performed by the original surgeon but not in all cases and of course the price will vary widely from practice to practice and within different geographic areas. A photo of your preoperative appearance would also be helpful to see. If the inframammary fold on the right side was signficantly higher to begin with or the skin of...

Difficult to give you a cost for this procedure
Your right implant is definitely lower than the left. There is the appearance of an extra fold on the right. It may be that the right breast crease was initially higher on the right. To correct this problem you will need a capsulotomy type of procedure. When I see a patient who has had a problem my first piece of advice is to return to your original surgeon. He may be willing to correct the problem at a reduced cost. The cost for this type of repair will vary from area to area so an...

Total cost would be $9000 in Manhattan.
Hi!
Your right breast does need a revision breast augmentation. I have no idea about fees in the UK, but in our Manhattan practice, it would cost you about $9000, including operating room charge and anesthesia.

Prices vary widely
Your right breast needs correction. If you stil have confidence in your original surgeon, you will get a much better price than if you have to go to an entirely new doctor. Prices vary widely so I couldn't even guess on what it will be.

Cost of Breast Implant Revision
There is so much variation in breast implant revision that a set fee is not established. The best approach will be to return to your initial plastic surgeon and discuss your concerns. Most surgeons will waive their professional fee and just charge for the anesthesia and facility, but you may need to ask "nicely".
Good Luck!

Breast implant revision
The cost of revision surgery after the placement of breast implants really depends on a number of variables. Some of those variables include the type of revision, the need for new implants, the selection of a different surgeon, and if the revision is medically necessary (capsular contracture). The photo you provided seems to show some bottoming out of the implant on the right side causing a double bubble deformity. Most plastic surgeons will elect to revise their own...

Breast implant revision cost
You will get the best price by returning to the surgeon who performed the augment and he would know more about you and your surgical course than a new doctor. The fee for revision including the operating room and anesthesia fees is about $5000.

Thank you for the question.
Assuming your initial surgeon is a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon, it would be in your best interests to return to him/her for the revisionary surgery. The surgeon who performed your operation will know your situation best and is also best equipped and motivated to help you keep the costs of the revisionary surgery as low as possible. These costs will vary based on several factors.
Best wishes.

Breast Surgery Revision Costs
It is always best to check with your initial surgeon. Upon evaluation your surgeon will be able to recommend treatment options and present you with a cost. The general rule is that the original surgeon's fees will be less as you are an established patient.

Bottoming out
Revision surgery is a bit more complex when the fold has bottomed out. This has to be re-suspended and a new or the same implants has to go in, sometiems alloderm is used to suppior the fold. In NYC, revision aug would cost about the same as a parimary augmentaion and sometimes more. figure all in assuming new implants,facility etc..( no alloderm) between $7500-$10,000.

Bottoming out
Thanks for including a pic. As you may have gathered, this is a difficult fix. As other surgeons have suggested, your original surgeon will likely provide the most reasonable price. For many surgeons, it is customary to perform revisions such as these for the cost of anesthesia and facility fees (no professional fee). Occasionally, only the inframammary fold requires repair. Sometimes, a capsulectomy is required and a dermal matrix may need to be implanted...

Breast bottomed out. Corection cost.
It looks as though the right breast has dropped past the IMF. The cost will depend on what needs to be corrected, how muck time will it take, and does correction entail use of dermis material, (expensive). Usually the best place to start is with the Plastic Surgeon who did the surgery. He will usually want to correct any problem, and will be more likely to discount the price. Most doctors cannot control the cost of OR, anesthesia, and implants, etc. Each...

Bottomed out Breast Implant
Hi there-
The corrective surgery you would need involves removal of the scar tissue capsule in the lower portion of the right breast, with reconstruction of the right infra-mammary fold (the crease under your right breast).
This is a technically challenging procedure, and to do properly would take 1-2 hours.
In our practice, the range of costs (including all fees and garment) would be between $5500 and $9500.
Your original surgeon may offer you a reduced fee to correct this, though.
