I have McGhan breast implants that just passed the 10 year mark in Feb. Just two weeks ago I noticed that my left breast has less volume. Appears I might have a rupture. I am bit confused about the lifetime replacement on the warranty. If I am still eligible for it even if I am past the 10 year mark for financial assistance.

Answer: Implant Warranty Hello, Sorry to hear you may have a potential problem. The implant manufacturers are generally very good at supporting patients replacements when truly needed. McGhan is no longer the device (or name) available but Allergan is the manufacturer. Sometimes even when a patient is beyond warranty time there are ways to get assitance. One thing to consider however is they typically only give you the same implant you are removing. If you want a newer device they will likely charge you the difference. It would be best for you to call Allergan directly. They will need to know if you purchased the additional warranty or not. Back 10 years ago additional fees were charged to have surgical fees covered (or partially covered) in addition to the implant replacement. Currently those warranties are included with most, if not all, devices. Good luck!
