Do revisions cost the same money as the initial implant?

[España1980]

I don't know much about this but I see that implant brands give a lifetime guarantee. I see many people whose implants last 5, 6 or 7 years, and they have to have a revision due to implant failure. and I always wonder if they pay the same amount of money again. it may be a dumb question but i need to clarify it

Depends on what type of revision you get. A simple pump replacement by most logic should cost less than a complete change. The word "revision" gets thrown around on FT a lot. A definition of what is included in the "revision" should determine the cost.

what needs to break for a complete overhaul

Theoretically the additional implant devices *should* be covered by the manufacturer if the device breaks. I paid coloplast $9509 for my Titan in June 2021 so I'd expect to pay $9509 less next time around if implant breakage is the cause of the revision

it means you will pay around $ 20,000

why does it say that? how much did it cost you?

Insurance was billed 65K for first one (insurance adjusted to they paid 38K and I paid 2 K).

After failure second implant was 85K billed to insurance (insurance adjusted to BCBS paid 44K and I paid 3K).

Last implant was billed at 105K (BCBS settled at 68K and I paid $3,500). Was told that the previous issues created a lot of scar tissue to deal with, but all came out well and all good now.

Did you lose any size from your first implant compared to the last ?

Could it be that Dr. Richard Natale is not very competent? or do you think that the same thing would have happened with eid, the counter-proof is not there, but I see few problems and many implants made by eid
