When Capsular Contracture Happens Should the Surgeon Fix It Without Charging Me His Fee?

Although many surgeons will reduce or eliminate fees for immediate post-op complications, or revisions, capsular contracture is really not one of these. It is not the fault of the surgeon or the patient, and can occur quickly, or years later. Most surgeons will charge for this. If you have had this many problems, you may want to consider just removing the implants, or consider a different surgeon.

Good luck.

so you cannot expect your surgeon to do this for free.  That being said, my patients are covered for the first year from their surgery for any problem related to their implant if they simply cover the costs of the facility, anesthesia and implants if changing them.  After the first year fees will apply but if they were my original patient, they get a discount.  And if my patient had 3 contractures in a row in a short time frame, I would be counseling against more surgery due to the incredible risks for having another... the Jenny Jones story.  But options always are present so if you're determined to beat this (or go down trying), more procedures are available to you at more cost.

Most plastic surgeons have standing policies on secondary plastic surgery.  Certainly no one wants to have a complication.  Unfortunately complications do happen and the tendency is to blame some one.  This is not the case.  The only commodity that a plastic surgeon has is his time.  So the time spent reoperating on complications is time lost on other patients.  Work with your plastic surgeon and hopefully you will be able to come up with a satisfactory conclusion.
