We cover the two following situations:-
INFECTION
Infection after surgery is rare and may require further attention,
either by way of medication or further surgery. Your surgeon will
discuss this with you in further detail but we would cover the
cost of treatment of post-operative infection occurring between
sixty hours and six weeks after initial breast augmentation surgery.
CAPSULAR CONTRACTURE
Whenever, a foreign object is placed into the human body, scar
tissue forms
around the object. This naturally occurs with Breast implants.
In some instances the scar tissue can contract and shrink leaving
a noticeable hardening and discomfort to the breast. Corrective
surgery may be needed to rectify the problem.
We cover the cost of corrective surgery in the event of you developing
capsular contracture (Baker Scale III or IV) in one, or both breasts
following initial breast augmentation surgery.
Baker Classification:
Class III – moderate firmness – the breast is harder,
the implant can be palpated easily and it (or distortion from
it) can be seen.
Class IV – serve contracture – the breast is hard,
tender, painful and cold, Distortion is often marked.
