Mentor or McGhan Saline Breast Implant Replacement or Warranty Policy?

Mentor and Allergan have changed their warranties over time. The warranty is the one that was in force at the time of your surgery.  Both companies have implant registries that delineate your coverage. 

Thank you for your question.

  In the event of a qualifying deflation of a saline filled breast implants or rupture of a silicone gel breast implant, they will replace the product free of charge (for the lifetime of the patient).  Regarding the financial assistance to return to the operating room to replace the implant  -The breast implant companies offer financial assistance within 10 years from the date of implantation.  The assistance includes $1200 stipend to help pay for  some of the anesthesia / operating room costs.  There is an enhanced warranty that will take the stipend amount to $2200 to also help with surgical fees.

Speak with your surgeon and the office should be able to file a claim with the company and give you more exact information.

Best Wishes!

Of the two major implant manufacturers, warranties generally cover the complications of implant rupture or deflation and do not cover problems such as implatn exposure, extrusion or wound breakdown or dehisence.
In the event the implant was ruptured, the basic warranty would provide you with a complimentary replacement implant.
However, it would be best for you to contact your implanting surgeon who could provide with the implant manufacturer.
