Warranty on Breast Implants

There are a few companies that offer a warranty on their breast implant products. When considering any type of elective, cosmetic surgery you will always want to know about all of the options available to you. One way to be sure that you get the correct answers is to make a list of questions to take with you on your initial consultations and ask the doctor. They will be able to answer any and all questions that you may have.

Having breast implant surgery is just like any other major purchase and you will want those to be covered under any warranty available. Since most insurance companies will not cover the cost of implants, let alone the up keep of them, a warranty on them is the way to go. There are many different types of complications and things that can happen to implants over time. More often than not most breast implants will need to be replaced at some point in time.

The first company to put a warranty on their breast implants was Mentor. It comes free with all of their saline filled breast implants. They also offer an optional extended limited warranty. This is an additional warranty to the one that already comes with the implants. This one will cover things like operating room, anesthesia, and surgical charges that are not covered by insurance. Like all warranties there are certain rules and restrictions so be sure to talk with your cosmetic plastic surgeon about these.

Allergan is another company that offers the Breast Implant Warranties on their implants. They even offer their warranty on their gel implants. The Allergan breast implant warranty covers things like lifetime product replacement and financial assistance to cover things like anesthesia and operating rooms. Of course their warranty also has rules and restrictions so be sure to talk those over with your doctor as well.
