Replacing implants — for example swapping ageing implants for new ones — sits between primary augmentation and complex revision in cost, depending on what is involved.
What affects the cost
- Whether it is a simple swap or includes capsule treatment, pocket adjustment or a lift.
- The new implants chosen.
- Surgeon and facility fees.
Warranty contributions
Some manufacturer warranties contribute towards the cost of surgery to replace a ruptured implant, and sometimes for capsular contracture, within a defined period. The surgical fees are usually still payable. Confirm your implant's current written warranty terms. See do implants need replacing?
