Is there a data base that has Breast Implant serial numbers and manufactures that can be accessed by using the SS#?

Asked By:apchamp123 in Slidell, LA

I had breast implants done 14 years ago and now one is leaking/ruptured and I want to have them replaced, but I do not the serial numbers or any other information and the surgeon is no longer in MS and all records were possibly destroyed from Hurricane Katrina. How can I locate the information so that I can file a claim and be reimbursed for the life time warranty?
