Can someone explain

I emailed my surgeon waier to ask which profile I was having cos I never new & also asked what's my after care Ect , his reply was :
 
Hi Amber

Your chosen implant will be high profile.

You are only covered for rupture and capsule contracture as these are implant based issues.  Rippling is down to the thickness of your own tissue, where it is in contact and closest to the implant (eg under the breast,)-here there may be some rippling, but this is a normal feature, not a problem.  This cannot be corrected unless you put on weight or become pregnant increasing the amount of breast tissue!!  In reality rippling is rarely a problem and is accepted by patients as a risk. If this is something you definitely don't want, then I would suggest not having the operation as no one can guarantee you won't get it!!
Yes, corrective surgery for the first two problems is free of charge for that side only. In other words if you have a contracture in 6 years time, you cannot decide to have both sides replaced with larger implants for free for example!!

Aftercare is 10 days and 3 months to see me. You are covered for any acute episode for 28 days after surgery, and a lifetime guarantee on rupture and capsule contracture. What is not covered is for example size dissatisfaction and droopiness after years have gone by.

.. This is my understanding I'm covered for CC and ruputure for life , but if it was to occur I would only get  the side that was affected done for free and of have to pay for the other one?



 Confused!!

Xxx

No, babe, he would replace the side that was suffering from capsular contracture but wouldn't have to replace the other side because that side didn't have it! So in other words he's saying you won't be able to get a bigger sized implant (if having a re-op) because he will only replace the boob that has capsular contracture.. So they'd be uneven haha! That's the way i read it anyway xxxxx

P.s, high profile will look fab on you!! I had extra high profile and love them! With 450cc you'll get lots and lots of projection with high profile! (I can't remember.. Did you say you were getting 450 or 440?) Anyway, you'll look hot! Xxxx

They would only operate on the affected breast. If you wanted both done to go larger at the same time, you'd have to pay for the other one as there's nothing wrong with it. This is pretty standard I think.

Hi hun,

in short, you are covered for rupture and CC but only the affected implant would be replaced, so you wouldn't be able to opt to swap your implants out unless you pay an additional fee. If you got CC in one he would remove the capsule and replace the implant and leave the other one intact.

It's also worth mentioning that your lifetime cover may be for your implants ONLY, so if you were to have a rupture somewhere down the line, your implant will be free as it is covered but your surgical fees may be separate from that and you may need to pay for the surgical suite, anaesthesia and the op it's self.

Oh right ok, thats the way i read it, it shouldn't cost that much tho for the other boob surely haha!

ok thanks, i understand now..

yeah i think it is just lifetime cover for the Implants, but when i see him again.. ill double check this .. but overall does that sound about right? im going with Spire (spire aftercare isnt like the bigger companies eg, transform,mya.. i dont think)

thanks hun 

xx

It's pretty much standard cover really! They all offer more or less the same thing now so you're all good :) x

Good Thankyou

Yeah lifetime cover for implants.so after the aftercare has run out and say u had a rupture or CC then u pay again.but get the price of the implants off the price

When.I had my reop I had the chance to go.bigger but wanted to sort my.complications out first

I.have rippling but u can't see it just feel it xx

Hi Gale, I am worried about the possibilities hun, he just said that when i asked about my aftercare, his exact word were "Rippling is down to the thickness of your own tissue, where it is in contact and closest to the implant (eg under the breast,)-here there may be some rippling, but this is a normal feature, not a problem.  This cannot be corrected unless you put on weight or become pregnant increasing the amount of breast tissue!!  In reality rippling is rarely a problem and is accepted by patients as a risk.
