Dear hayleyrenee,
the price is entirely practice dependent. If it was planned to be staged than the cost may be included. If its a revision, typically surgeons only ask the patient to pay for the surgery center and anesthesia.

Since this is your fourth capsule and it is stage four, removing the implants and capsules will be your best solution. Otherwise, you need to go smaller and use mesh to completely cover the implants. Mesh is expensive and does not guarantee you will not develop another capsule.
