I had a breast augmentation done by Dr. Bruce Kramer in 2007. One of my implants burst in early 2014. I am left with one breast. I called and wrote to Dr. Kraemer and he refuses to fix my breast without $1700. I don't have the money right now. My self-esteem has gone to zero because I don't feel comfortable with myself anymore. I'm 50 years old and I feel that my life is over. I can no longer date and feel that I will be alone the rest of my life because of this. Don't use Dr. Kraemer for any plastic surgery. He doesn't stand by his work.
It looks like the Implant would have a lifetime warranty but the doctors fees would still be charged... Maybe contact the manufacturer and see if they have a cheaper option for doctors?
Sue the manufacturer for the cost of the repair. I would use another surgeon though.
this is not the fault of the doctor. this is an issue for the manufacturer of the implant. have you contacted them? implants can burst for many reasons, including being contacted in an accident or laying on your stomach.
