What exactly is a pocket modification? I'm looking for a doctor in Arizona who does this. I have 600cc silicone implants, under the muscle. Right breast is hanging lower, one year PO. Been told all I need is a pocket modification. One doctor quoting $2400. Anyone specialize in this!? I'll make an appointment!

Answer: Pocket repair for breast implants Great question. A pocket modification for breast implants is any surgical change to the breast implant pocket to help achieve a better breast shape and appearance. It sounds like the type of pocket modification that you would be having is a capsulloraphy. A capsulloraphy is the process of suturing the breast implant pocket so that the pocket and implant sits higher up on the chest. The fee for this will vary depending on the amount of work needed, whether its one side or both, and from surgeon to surgeon.Good luck with your breast revision surgery.Dr. Remus Repta
