Is it the surgeons fault if a breast implant bottoms out?

FloridaMommy1990
is it the surgeons fault if a breast implant bottoms out? I know thin skin is more prone to bottom out but if it occurs from over dissection of the pocket, etc. shouldn't the surgeon fix it without charging the patient for the surgeons error. The patient should only have to pay for anesthesiologist fees.
