Do revisions cost the same money as the initial implant?

The final frontier. Deciding when, if and how.

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 ?


I lost about a 1/2" in length but after 3 months have gotten it mostly back. I was worried at first but religous cycling and perito exercises has done wonders. Still gaining little by little.

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


Natale did make mistakes , and the last implant almost 6 months ago was more costly due to scarring that had to be dealt with from the infection Natale didn't know how to stop. Dr.

Dr Terlecki is an amazing surgeon that specializes in revisions to correct other's work (as well as normal implants).
