I have a ruptured silicone breast implant and would like them removed. On medicare disability. What should I do?

I would suggest meeting with surgeons at a plastic surgery training facility to have your implants removed at usually a much lower cost. Most of these surgeons have completed 5 years of general surgery first and are supervised.

This is often the case when implants are placed for cosmetic reasons, insurance will not cover that. There are opportunities for saving, payment, plans, and other routes to save the money for removal. Often insurance plans will not cover the service those some of them cover it for rupture or capsular contracture. If you cannot get it approved, then sadly, the cost of removal will fall to the patient. However, consider it an opportunity to invest in a lift or mastopexy at the same time, given the fact that, without the volume of the implant, she will likely have more droop to the breast. Happy to help in any way we can.
