I have already had Breast Implants and I'm thinking about going bigger. It has almost been a year since I had it done. I wondered if it is less expensive, since all the Dr. would do is take out old Implants and put/slip in bigger implants?
Answer: Breast Implant Cost Second Time - Price of Going Bigger Upsizing an implant isn't exactly that straightforward because the the capsule needs to be released and sometimes the pocket needs to be expanded so it may not be less money that a primary augmentation. Prices will vary by region and within each region by Surgeon. Each surgeon may also have slightly different prices for the same procedure depending on what exactly is involved. Your best bet is to call your surgeon's office and find out what they would charge you to change your size. Hope that helps!

Answer: Cost of revision surgery Dear carlsbad,Every surgeon has a revision policy. Many involve reduced or even no fees for the surgeon (depending on the situation) while the patient may still be responsible for facility (the use of the operating room, staff, and supplies) and anesthesia fees. Best to go back to your surgeon and have a talk about your concerns again. Daniel Barrett, MD
