1 yr ago had lipo to flanks, i/o thighs, ab, butt. After the surgery, my butt dropped & was sagging. Pain for months when sitting, abs uneven, more fat taken from left on flanks, butt & thigh. Daily tenderness near the lymph site. Discussed with PS & he wants to charge me $4,500 to redo these areas – originally paid $7,000. Saw other drs who agree there is unevenness & butt cannot be fixed w/o extensive scarring as too much out & causing it to drop. Who pays for the revision - no contract.

Answer: Revision Costs
Each office has a diferent policy regarding the charging of revisions. It is important that you go to a respected board certified plastic surgeon as he/she is more willing to do everything in his/her power to ensure good results and happy patients. Plus, the probability for revision surgery is much less with a respected board certified plastic surgeon as opposed to a lesser trained surgeon.

Answer: Revision fees for plastic surgery
There is no specific ruling about this, and I would advise that you check with your Plastic Surgeon about this. You may have few options now if you had not had a specific understanding about this before the surgery
In my practice I do charge for revisions performed for my patients, but I try to be reasonable about the fees. It is never too late to discuss this with your surgeon- be professional and respectful as you discuss this , but be honest with your doctor as you try to make your case and discuss why you think a reduced fee would be appreciated.
Good luck to you.
