Do I have to pay if I want to redo my breast implants that I had done recently?

Dear blessful The financial issue varies surgeon to surgeon. You should discuss the financial policy with your surgeon. If you had an augmentation and not a lift, you might choose to do a lift at a later time. you are likely going to see more changes with your breasts as you are only 1 month from your procedure. You should wait till 4-6 months after surgery for any revision.

Every plastic surgeon (office) has its own policy regarding revision surgeries. Depending of the reason for revision, surgeon will adjust surgery and facility fee accordingly. You need to review agreement that you signed before surgery which should address a revision policy as well. The best is to talk to your doctor and find a common ground. Good luck.

I am so sorry that your breast augmentation did not go the way you wanted it to go.  Each plastic surgeon has his or her own policy regarding redos, touchups, revisions.  As a group, Board Certified plastic surgeons practice plastic surgery as an art form which, incidentally, garners them money.  Therefore, most plastic surgeons want to do touchups as much as their patients want them to do touchups, and therefore minimal charges such as anesthesia fees, etc. are the fee for touchups.It is my personal feeling that touchups are not really touchups because plastic surgery is a process and not an event.  I believe that if both plastic surgeon and patient see a second surgery as not a new procedure but a second part of the primary procedure, then both surgeons and patients will be happier.  Reading RealSelf, not only the surgeons' answers but the patients' questions and concerns, has given me a new pair of glasses when it comes to plastic surgical procedures.  I believe patients come in requesting an outcome, and when they don't get that outcome, they feel the plastic surgeon has done something wrong.  That is rarely the truth.  Very often, the plastic surgeon cannot have an apriori understanding of the elasticity of one's skin or one's propensity for forming a capsular contracture or a hypertrophic scar.  Therefore, if both plastic surgeons and patients understand that the outcome may take more than one procedure, the patients might be more understanding and the plastic surgeons will not be so upset when the patients dis their best efforts.  Simply put, aesthetic plastic surgery is an outcome.  It always has been and it always will be, and honest communication on the subject prior to surgery will eliminate questions about who pays for a redo.

Good afternoon!You're still very early in the process- it will likely take 3-4 months for you to really see what you're going to look like. Once you reach that point if you still have concerns sit down with your PS and discuss the options. In the event a revision is necessary, most PS will work with you on the cost!

and there is usually an explanation for why you have what you have.  Drooping suggests ptosis and if you chose not to have a lift, this is what is expected.  Dents can be fixed with less invasive procedures such as fat grafting that could be done in the office under local.  Best to discuss your concerns with your surgeon, even if he/she may not like it or feel that you look great because its not what we think in the end that matters... its what the patient thinks that is more important.

I am sorry to hear you are dissatisfied with your recent surgery.  As the others stated, often the surgeon will waive his/her fee but you are usually still responsible for OR and Anesthesia costs.  Your specific surgeon will have their own policy though so it is hard to say.  Best of luck to you

Every office has their own policy but in general, board certified plastic surgeon could waive their for a recent revision and only charge surgery center , anesthesia fees. Procedures under local could be totally complimentary. 

I am sorry to hear about your disappointment with the results of the breast surgery. Policy regarding coverage of expenses for revisionary surgery will vary from office to office and probably on a case-by-case basis as well. Costs of revisionary surgery may range from zero, to anesthesia/surgery center fees, to discounted surgeon's fees.Generally, successful plastic surgeons rely on positive word-of-mouth and will work hard to maintain satisfied patients. Also, I generally speaking, I suggest patients communicate their concerns in a calm and constructive fashion; this form communication tends to be much more effective than confrontational communication.Best wishes; hopefully through courteous/respectful communication you and your plastic surgeon will be able to work out a plan to achieve your goals.

If there is a problem, most surgeons are happy to offer revision surgery at no charge, but as to your specific surgeon, I have no idea. You should have had a preoperative discussion regarding financial policy, and I bet if you review the paperwork given to you by the office you will find it. You would still be responsible for the cost of the OR and anesthesia usually.
