My dr said this should take 1/2 an hour and wants to charge me $950. Should I see if another dr would do it for less or is this normal? The reason is bc he lowered one breast and not the other and they are lopsided. Won't waive fee

Answer: How much should a bilateral capsulectomy cost? I am sorry to hear about the problem you are experiencing. The quote you have seems very reasonable. Generally, policy regarding coverage of expenses for revisionary surgery will vary from office to office and probably on a case-by-case basis as well. Costs of revisionary surgery may range from zero, to anesthesia/surgery center fees, to discounted surgeon's fees.

Answer: Capsulotomy / Asymmetry Good morning!$950 is cheap for a revision- I say take it and run with it. It is customary for patients to at least pay anesthesia and OR charges when undergoing a revision, and sometimes a surgeon's fee is warranted as well.
