Question breast capsular contracture replace implants
Surgeon removing and replacing implants due to capsular contracture. States he is removing cleaning up area and replacing the implants. I suggested looking at reconstruction codes.
"I believe he needs to remove the implant due to capsular contracture, and possible gel leak. So it's not for a revision for asymmetry. Do you think we should use 19330, 19371, and then another code for the new implant placement? Let me know what you think, thank you!"
Please give some guidance.
Thanks.
