    Default Replacing implants?

    I am going to save up for a new set or boobies...
    Ive already got implants but is it an additional charge to remove implants and replace them or it is same price as a regular operation?
    Thanks

    Are they leaking? Or is anything wrong with them? If this is the case, some doctors do charge more. If you are having any of the above issues and you have insurance, I know a doctor that takes insurance. My girlfriend had an implant that had shrunk smaller than the other one and she was able to use her insurance and it cost her $2300 to have her implants removed, replaced, and a lift.

    Are you getting them because they are just starting to sag? I had another girlfriend that had hers lifted back up but kept the same implants and it was more reasonable.

    Purchasing implants from the manufacturer costs the same whether for a 'new' patient or a repeat patient ( $1500 to $2500 for 'catalog' implants ). However, since the breast pockets are already created surgically speaking, and the office file has already been created bureaucratically speaking, in general going back to the same plastic surgeon's office to 'trade in' your old implants for a new set of bigger better implants will be less expensive than the initial surgery was in regard to the surgeon's fee.
