Explant Surgery in Texas — FAQ
How does travel work for out-of-town Texas patients?
The team coordinates scheduling to consolidate consultation, surgery, and early follow-up into an efficient visit. Telehealth follow-up is available once the patient returns home. Most out-of-town Texas patients start with a virtual consultation.
Can I do a virtual consultation first?
Yes. Most out-of-town Texas patients begin with a virtual consultation to review implant history, symptoms, and surgical options before scheduling an in-person visit.
Does insurance cover explant surgery?
Coverage varies by plan and clinical circumstances. Some plans cover explant for documented rupture or capsular contracture. Coverage related to breast implant illness symptoms is less consistent. The practice can help assess individual situations, and the majority of patients self-pay with financing available.
