Emoz Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Has any body had this or have taken up the TCI capsular contracture Guarantee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mummytotwo Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 The percentage of getting it is quite low but i hear of it happening quite a lot. Id definitely pay extra for the guarantee just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaddles Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Quite low? It's the single most common complication arising from BA. Get the insurance, TCI don't seem to accept responsibility for complications that arise from surgical error, let alone those which are not surgeon related. No-one expects to have issues arise, but knowing your surgeon has your back if something goes wrong is gold. I was an unlucky statistic, I had CC both sides 3 months PO, but my surgeon waived his out of pocket fee, and PHI picked up the rest of my revision cost. Of course that doesn't apply if you proceed with a CS, since they're not recognised by anyone as a specialist.Mummytotwo - does Dr **** offer any assurance if something goes wrong? donatella, herveybaymummy and Newster 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he does actually. He offers the cc guarantee for 5 years amongst other things that several plastic and cosmetic surgeons wouldnt.

donatella Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Second line, patient with CC having to go to another surgeon to repair 15k out of pocket so don't believe everything told you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newster Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 If someone had shared similar information to me about my surgeon I'd have sought out another surgeon very fast. Sorry, I realize this is off the original topic, but it's a genuine worry a "surgeon" like that is still having patients select him. All I can say is caveat emptor. donatella 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to Catita and donatella ive learned all the negative things about this surgeon. Its just hard when you read so many good reviews and his consult was fantastic, its hard to believe negative reviews from people. After chatting with Catita, and going over my replies from Donatella ive decided to look elsewhere. So thanks ladies danielle87, Newster and donatella 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
