Emma Jane Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Hi Ladies, I've been reading a few post about cc and I'm pretty sure that's what's happening with my implant. I had my BA just over a year ago and have been waiting for my right to "drop" and look like my left I doesn't sit in the pocket and is coming across into my other implant. I also get a sharp tight pulling pain coming down from my collar bone to my implant, the past week I now get pain just at the top part of my underarm. I saw my PS a month or so ago and he said that I do have a little CC but not to worry, that the implant can't go right across my chest has its in a pocket. I just don't feel this has helped put my mind at ease. I've read some posts where the girls has private health insurance and was wondering what cover they had? I also have health insurance and want to fix what is happening but atm am unable due to cost. I'm also scared to go back to my PS I don't want him to think I'm being stupid and obsessive. its just for 12 months I've been upset over my boob thinking i should be so happy now I have boobs but im still so self conscious . Please help!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billychic Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Wow Emj that sounds horrible I'm not to sure about private health insurance companies but my PS told me its a good idea to get private health insurrance because once something goes wrong most will fix it I guess you could ring some Ur health insurer and just ask the question did u get brizillan implants they have a 10 yr warranty program? It's called polytech Just google it. I guess you may be able to consider this if u require them to be fixed sorry I'm not to much helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Hi Emma Jane! Sorry to hear about your situation! In regards to private health - I am with BUPA and have Hospital Economy Cover with General Extras. In regards to getting revision surgery done, BUPA would cover my hospital stay (pretty sure you have to pay $400 admission) and medicare covers the rest. You are out of pocket some amount but it is no where near the amount of say your first BA! I think that in order to get an estimate your surgeon has to send a report to medicare so medicare can approve it and provide the item numbers in which you claim on. Good luck x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneDay Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Im sorry your having to deal with this... have you spoken to your PS again to ask about meds and massaging which seems to be the step before revision surgery? Can I also ask what type of impant you go, under or over and if you massaged?? Reason I curious is casue CC seems to be popping up everywhere at the moment.
