Who pays for revisions, that is the question

The best thing to do is to discuss this at the time of the initial consultation. Most doctors will charge OR and anesthesia fees for revisions within the first year while others have the patient pay. I would think that after 4 years the surgeon does have the right to charge you, but it seems like he is charging a fairly minor amount.. Discuss it with the office so you are satisfied before proceeding.
