It will vary widely depending on your surgeon and geographical location. Check to see if there is a warranty that applies to your implant. If there is, it may cover the replacement implant and provide for some funds to cover some of the surgical costs.Best,
The costs to replace a ruptured implant depend on a bunch of things...yes, the implant warranty is part of it, but so is your relationship with your doctor and his/her policies. The amount of 'work' involved may also affect cost and this may be different if you have a silicone or a saline implant.Implant warranties vary from manufacturer and based on the date that you had your surgery. If your implant is still under warranty, typically the company will give you a new implant and pay something toward the fees associated with the surgery. There are also supplemental plans with the implant companies that will increase the amount they will reimburse. You can call your implant company and they should be able to give you the information that specifically applies to you.Good Luck!...Dr. Newman
