Why this isn't your final quote

We can't give you a 100% exact number until your surgeon sees your case in your medical video consultation. Your final quote may move from this estimate based on additional studies your surgeon may need, your specific anatomy, or projected recovery time. Most patients land within 15% of what you're seeing here — we'd rather tell you that upfront than surprise you later.

Frequently asked questions about this procedure

Do you remove the capsule too?

When indicated (contracture, rupture, or patient preference), the capsule is removed in the same surgery, full or en bloc capsulectomy. Your surgeon decides based on your case.

Can I get a lift at the same time?

Yes, a breast lift can be combined to restore shape after removal. It's quoted separately.

Do I need a recovery house?

Usually not, explantation is outpatient and a hotel is sufficient. A recovery house is available as an option.
