If I don’t like the results of my
surgery what can I do?
This is fortunately a fairly rare problem. We do have a revision
policy that we go over with patients. Most things within the first six months
to a year are covered. Sometime there will be charges only for supplies. I
often try to deal with this sort of subject proactively. When I meet patients
that had surgery elsewhere they will often not like one quality about the
surgical result. Not uncommonly this can be a result of their specific anatomy.
Some of that can be changed and some of it cannot. Every patient needs a
thorough explanation of what each operation can and cannot do for them. This
should explain the surgical limitation of what can be done as well as their
anatomic limitations. By doing this I think that you enhance patient’s
satisfaction because they will consistently get the result that you have
discussed with them. If they have agreed to be happy with this in advance I
have found that they are happy with it after surgery. A miscommunication of
what the patient wanted or an unrealistic expectation that is not clarified
with the surgeon can lead to a great deal of unhappiness. If there is an issue
such as unsatisfactory scarring then this is usually handled as I described.
ACTUAL PATIENT
That's nice to know that if there is a problem with your breast augmentation, you're covered for six months to a year. Is that true no matter what surgeon you go to after the initial surgery? I would hope to only have that surgery once! It is important to make sure that you and your surgeon are on the same page about what the expectations are and how you it to look. http://www.markbisharamd.com/cosmetic-procedures/breast-procedures/breast-augmentation
