How much does it cost for saline implant removal???

Question

I have a ruptured saline implant. It has become painful, and turned into a hard mass. I have medicaid insurance, however I was told that they would not cover the implant removal. What is the cost to have just the saline implants removed. That is all I want...

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

With saline implants you have the option of having the implants deflated in the office to allow the skin to begin retracting and the tissue to begin healing.  You can then have the implant shells removed at a later time.  Costs will vary by surgeon and location.  I offer a quoting tool on my website so patients can get an idea of costs for the various procedures.

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

I am sorry to hear about the problem you are experiencing. Costs of this type of surgery will vary from one practice to another and will depend mainly on exactly what procedure is being performed. For example, some patients who have breast implants removed will also require capsulectomy and/or breast lifting performed at the same time. Additional procedures performed (if necessary), requiring additional time, will likely increase costs. You will find some average costs listed on this website as well as individual plastic surgeon's websites as well. Best wishes.

A rupture saline implant should not cause pain.It is also rare to see a mass. I suggest you  be evaluatedby a board certified plastic surgeon in your area. They willadvise you of cost and any other findings.

Fees vary depending on the qualifications, skills and experience of your plastic surgeon.  Shopping around often leads to disappointment.

The fee will vary from surgeon to surgeon. Best to find a surgeon that you feel will do a good job for you and then figure out the price.
