Silicone Breast Implant Removal and Replacement Cost?

Removal of silicone breast implants can be covered by your medical insurance in certain situations. I work with many insurance companies in cases such as removal of ruptured silicone implants, or removal of painful or distorted implants as a result of severe capsular contracture. If your silicone implants are 23 years old, the likilihood that they may be ruptured or leaking is very high. In these situations, insurance companies will pay for for the removal and you would only be responsible for the cost of replacement with new implants should you desire.

Good day! Breast implant removal average costs is around $4,500 but the most important part of your surgery is your doctor's experience. The cost varies depending on your area, facility, and years of experience of your surgeon. It is best to have an in-person examination so that costs will be customized according to your needs. Find a board-certified plastic surgeon near you that has extensive experience and discuss realistic goals and expectations. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

Costs for breast implant removal will certainly vary depending on your geographic location. Things to factor in for the procedure standpoint will be the facility fee, anesthesia fee, surgeon fee, other fees (e.g., fat grafting, breast lift, capsule removal, surgical garment, implant replacement, etc.). A range in price ~$6-10k is reasonable for a straight forward explantation with replacement of silicone implants. A consultation with a plastic surgeon will help you in determining which procedure(s) would be the right one for you. Cost also depends on the complexity of your case, presence of rupture, and how much work would need to be done to achieve an aesthetically-pleasing result for you. Best wishes!
