I had an implant rupture from an accident. It was a Natrelle Inspira. Is this covered by a warranty?

Hi & thanks for your question.
You can do 2 things, Call your surgeon office and they should be able to help you out with this. You can also call Allergan directly to find out if this is covered under your warranty. Best of luck!

Natrelle implants are covered by a lifetime replacement policy that should provide a new implant regardless of the cause. Contact your plastic surgeon to initiate the claims process.

If you have purchased extended warranty in the time of implant placement, you may be covered for accident related implant rupture. It is best to contact your original surgeon or contact Allergan (owner of Natrelle) with same question. They will need implant related data which were given to you on the card in the time of your surgery. Good luck.

Thank you for sharing your question. In most cases Natrelle's implant warranty does cover a set of replacement implants. Hope this helps.

Dear Harlow1911,
if you had implant rupture, I suggest you to consult your plastic surgeon and discuss your options with him. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Allergan implants do have a warranty if broken, both gel and saline. I would suggest getting in touch with your surgeon who can help you with this warranty.

Thanks for your question. Usually there is some warranty related to implant rupture, but what exactly is covered (i.e. surgeons's fee, operating room fees, implant cost) can depend on the age of the implant, and whether an extended warranty was purchased at the time of the original surgery. Check with the plastic surgeon who did the original breast augmentation. His/Her office should be able to get you the information you need.
Best of luck!
