Can a different plastic surgeon do the re-implant secondary surgery?

Asked By:snelly1075 in Buffalo, New York

Hi- slightly over a year ago, I had my 11-year old silicone breast implants removed. The right one had ruptured and the thought of having to worry about that happening again made me decide to just explant and get a breast lift. However, now, I regret not having the implants exchanged. I'm a tiny A cup and remember why I wanted implants in the first place! My question is.....can a different plastic surgeon do the "re-implant" secondary surgery? My original dr can't be reached.
