How Much Does Breast Implant Revision Cost?

Hello,  thank you for your picture.  A side view would also be helpful but from this front view, it does not appear that your breast has bottomed out. It looks as though your implant has moved below your inframammary crease.  This is called a “double bubble“ and is a risk of having breast implant surgery. While not terribly common, it can certainly happen in any case. 
Your best bet regardless of cost is to go back to your original surgeon. There is always the greatest benefit in having the original person who was there before and knows exactly what they did.  That person will understand your anatomy and it’s healing from their personal techniques the best.  Being that it has only been a year, you are likely to get some form of price reduction off of the procedure portion. If you go to a different surgeon, you will get the cost of a new operation. 
Revision surgery of this type may be done a few different ways and cost will depend largely on which method is felt to be the best for you, how long it will take, and if any additional materials for reinforcement are required.
Keep an open mind about what you hear as, again, implant malposition like a double bubble is a known complication of breast implant surgery. If you are unwilling to go through with what is offered to you by your original surgeon, only then should you seek the advice of someone else experienced in breast revision surgery.

Dear kaseysmummy,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

Thank you for your question.  I agree with my colleagues below. I think cost can really vary depending on the surgical "approach" and complexity of the case.  Based on reviewing your photo, I do agree there is some subtle bottoming out on the right breast; however, it also appears to me there may be a subtle "double-bubble" (secondary crease line) on the right.  That can occur for several reasons.  In this case it may have a dynamic component and may have to do with the pull of the pectoralis muscle in that location.  This often can be improved in revision breast surgery and sometimes requires further dissection or release of the pectoralis muscle in that location, or even a neo-subpectoral pocket dissection with replacement of a new breast implant with fold support and Galaflex (dissolveable ADM-like mesh ) along the crease.  I would recommend getting several different opinions from board certified plastic surgeons that focus their practice on aesthetic breast implant revision.  Cost can really depend on time and complexity of the case and what is needed.  For inferior fold support and bottoming out, I prefer Galaflex (which is in the family of ADMs), and I think it works quite well and holds the best over time. Good luck!
