I had my implant rupture. I cannot afford to get it removed. Is there a payment plan?

I recommend that you see your plastic surgeon and have them removed as soon as possible because there are complications such as capsular contracture associated with ruptured implants. Depending on the type of health insurance that you have, it may help with the cost as well. Best of luck. 

Most plastic surgeons offer financing via care credit or prosper. In fact, they may even have a link to the applications on their website. This way, you can apply online and know how much you are approved for before you even visit the surgeon. Hope this helps!!

There might be several options to "finance" your surgery with Care Credit of Alphaeon Finance. Both companies are reputable. Another option would be to check with the implant manufacturer (Mentor, Allergan, Sientra) as they offer warranties for free implant replacement when implants are ruptured. Warmest regards, Dr. ALDO

you should get documentation by your surgeon and see if your surgeon can intentionally deflate the larger one so at least you will have symmetry while saving for your next procedure.  If you can arrange for financing, then you can have a replacement of one or both implants.  Your surgeon should be able to help you navigate your options without compromise of any warranty that you may have in place.

Thank you for your question.  Most offices and plastic surgeons have some sort of financing available.  Also there are a few insurance companies that will pay for the removal only of a ruptured implant if you want a replacement that portion is typically self pay. Best Wishes!

I am sorry to hear about the complication you have experienced.In our practice, we use Care Credit as well as other companies; they have been used by our patients with no problems.  They do have different rates so please make sure you get all of the information you need prior to signing up with any financing company.

  Best wishes.

Thank you for your question. Care Credit offers multiple financing options to help out with paying for the surgery.

Thank you for your question.I’m sorry to hear about your implant rupture. I would schedule a consultation with a few board certified plastic surgeons in your area and see if they offer any financing options. Most do offer financing options for their patients such as Care Credit. You can simply go online and apply and if you are approved then you can pay for your surgery with your Care Credit card then make monthly payments on it. Best of luck.Sincerely,
