I am bottoming out, I have talked with my original dr about this and he wants to do an internal bra procedure with sutures, possibly mesh. He wouldn't give me a price yet and I was wondering about how much this revision would cost? I know all doctors are different but I really have no idea what ball park we're in..

Answer: How much will a revision cost from the same dr? The price of a surgical procedure is totally up to your individual plastic surgeon. Generally, surgeons do charge considerably less when they did the original procedure. According to the extent of your "bottoming-out," a mesh may very well be a good idea. It certainly gives excellent support and the encapsulation rate is considerably less using mesh. Bottoming out frequently recurs without the use of mesh.Regarding the price, you simply have to discuss this with your plastic surgeon. Thank you for your question and best of luck

Answer: How much will a revision cost from the same dr? I'm sorry to hear about the complication you are experiencing. Policy regarding coverage of expenses for revisionary surgery will vary from office to office and probably on a case-by-case basis as well. Of course, much of the financial considerations will depend on exactly what operation is necessary; generally the longer the duration of surgery, the greater the expenses. Costs that may be considered are that of surgery facility, anesthesiologist, new breast implants, additional material such as acellular dermal matrix/mesh etc. Generally speaking, costs of revisionary surgery may range from zero, to anesthesia/surgery center fees, to discounted surgeon's fees. I hope this, and the attached link (dedicated to bottoming out surgery correction) helps. Best wishes.
