Revision after revision - How many more?

NinaATelloJul 18, 2023
First implants put in 10 years ago. After 7-8 years and at the point of capcon. I had a revision done and increase 300 - 700cc. 6 months after the first revision, the L side started going and the Dr. showed little to no concern and didn't do much, full Baker4 ensued. 2nd revision - planned to put "fish matrix" and did not - when asked about R side and possibility of cross con, he said "let sleeping dogs lie". Now the R side is going capcon. Again relying on Singulair.

Dear Genius188143, 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. Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic...

Unfortunately, your photograph is inadequate. We need frontal views. However, it does look like your implants have bottomed out. It would be helpful to see what your pre-operative photographs looked like. I do not understand why you would have a reduction and implant placement at the same...
