If a person gets a capsular contracture and done everything possible, how can a doctor expect a patient to pay to replace implants. Shouldn't the fee fall on both parties?

Answer: Capsular contracture and costs Unfortunaetely, a capsular contracture can happen to any patient for unknown reasons. If this develops on the earlier side, I usually work something out with the patients. In other words, my fee is lowered for the patient, but the patient pays for the surgery and the facility, and implants.

Answer: The patient is responsible for revisions Most of the time the surgical fee is shared with the patient because the surgeon wants to get the best result possible. This will generally happen only with the surgeon that placed the implants. When I say "share" the fee I mean it is reduced to a very cheap rate. The other costs of going to surgery are outside of the surgeon's influence and would be covered by the patient.
