I am 40 yo w/ 13 yo gummy silicone sub-muscular breast implants for. Originally A cup, and went to a C/D. No symptoms, but worry of a possible silent leak currently or in the future. Not interested in replacing or reconstruction. I already had a consultation and was quoted $4,900. Broken down: $2,900 Procedure fees $850 Anesthesia $1,150 Facility fees Is this high, low, average? Is it necessary to remove the capsules if no leakage? How much does capsule removal affect the cost?

Answer: Implant removal costs That is a high price for a simple removal in all three fees listed if the implants are just being removed. That is usually all that is required. So yes, you are correct those are high fees. If for some reason, you would like the capsules removed (generally unnecessary), then that price is a fair price. The prices in Maryland are pretty close to VA. It really depends on the quality and experience of the surgeon. Skilled surgeons are typically faster so you should see those components of the fees go down. The surgical fee may be a bit higher. So some are more expensive in MD and some are cheaper. Just like VA.

Answer: Cost of implant removal Coss for surgery differ in different parts of the country based on several variables. The cost you have been quoted is average for the VA/MD area. Costs in MD for hospital and anesthesia are slightly higher in my experience. The fee you are being charged probably involves removal of the capsule (scar tissue) which would be necessary if you have a silicone rupture.
