A CC claim should be filed by your surgeon however your new surgeon will need your old records. You will also have to pay up front and then get the warranty check. Hope this helps and good luck with your revision surgery -- Dr. Nazarian

This paperwork can and should be submitted by your surgeon.  Patients who fall within the warranty period for implants may be provided with free implant replacements as well as money toward the cost of surgery (fees associated with anesthesia, surgeon, facility use etc.)

Curtis Wong, MD · Answer

should be done by your surgeon who is doing your surgery.  Your old records will be needed and you will likely have to pay for your procedure up front until the warranty is paid out.  If you go back to your original surgeon, they may allow your to schedule without full payment if you are willing to sign the check, if applicable, over to them.

Sorry to hear that you have a Baker Grade 3 capsular contracture.   Your plastic surgeon can file the paperwork with Allergan.  You will need to have information on the implants that were placed including the serial number.   Your previous plastic surgeon can provide this information if you no longer have the implant information.

Ciro Adamo, PhD, MD · Answer

The doctor of your choice will file the claim for you, and will deal with all the required paperwork.
