Are butt augmentation revisions usually costly like the original procedure? (Photo)

Dear Rease33,
the price is entirely practice dependent. If it was planned to be staged than the cost may be included. If its a revision, typically surgeons only ask the patient to pay for the surgery center and anesthesia.

First step is to follow up with the surgeon who did your procedure.

In the end your provider is responsible for the outcome and your satisfaction of the procedure.

Likewise, you are responsible for choosing that provider.

Most plastic surgeons will cover the cost for revisions when the provider believes it’s indicated. Each plastic surgeon has their own threshold of when a revision is indicated and when it’s not. There are lots of examples of for example patients having preop asymmetry then complaining of the same asymmetry after surgery. patients often don’t judge their body critically before procedures but do so after they’ve had surgical intervention.

It’s fairly common for surgeons to ask patients to pay for operating room and anesthesia costs when they’re needed to do the revision but typically don’t charge a fee of their own.

In order to not add cost for the patient many revisions are done under local anesthesia in office-based settings.

Follow up with your surgeon and talk to him or her about your concerns.

If you see a different plastic surgeon then they will most likely charge you as a new patient and you can expect a revision to cost as much as doing a BBL.
