What is the average costs in DFW for an implant exchange?

dsheffieldJul 28, 2017
One of my mentor CPG implants ruptured after being implanted 10 years ago. The DFW plastic surgeon i used 10 years ago quoted $7,280 which includes the $2,700 warranty discount mentor is providing for the replacement mentor implants. Is that figure typical for this type of procedure in the DFW area? It seems very high. Thanks, D
