I desperately need help with ruptured silicone breast implants

Question

I broke 7 ribs 2015. I went to the doctor because my plastic surgeon referred me to the E.R. for a m.r.i. The hospital would not give me a mri because i had no insurance. 3 years ago i got Medicaid insurance had mri. Both implants ruptured and silicone migrating badly in right breast. Insurance will pay for removal but not replacement. I have silicone poisoning and great pain in right side and my legs. I need a doctor to desperately to be willing to donate the surgery

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

You might go to a plastic surgery training program for the removal. However, the replacement would still not be covered, but you would be given a much better price.

Sorry for you post auto accident issues with bilateral ruptured silicone implants. It is now 2024! So need new breasts MRI ASAP. As for surgery, Medicaid reimburses so little that the costs far out weigh the break even points. You must expect paying for the surgery and the facility, anesthesia fees? Read the direct message send to you, please.

No one needs to have cosmetic surgery.
Having that procedure is not considered medically necessary. You stated that medical will pay for the removal of your implants so I suggest you do that if you want them removed. If you want augmented breast, then you should expect to pay for that yourself.
I think it is unlikely you’re going to find a plastic surgeon. Interested in augmenting your breast for free.
A lot of plastic surgeons do charity work, but it is usually not for cosmetic purposes.
Best,
