Does McGhan guaranteed lifetime replacement benefits on implant covers implants that are just past 10 year mark by a few months?

Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Because McGhan was purchased by Allergan you would need to reach out to them regarding existing warranties.  After 10 years they are likely to offer replacements of your implants but unlikely to provide any financial assistance in having them exchanged.  Hope this helps.

Dear S,   Sorry for your problem. I use exclusively Mentor products and the company,  that is owned by Johnson & Johnson , is giving you life time warranty on the breasts implants, meaning , the ruptured implants is replaced for free for life. I do not know about McGhan , which is owned by Allergan. Most likely they have similar policy. You can call Allergan's customer service and find out about their policy.    As far as the cost of surgery, I do not believe that there is any company that covers that cost after 10 years. So, unfortunately, you will have to bear that expense.   Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with nice cleavage, perky, symmetrical and natural looking.                     All the best,                                     Dr Widder

Warranties are complicated situations as they depend on exactly when the implant was placed as the companies have changed their warranties over the years.  McGhan is now Allergan and is an extremely reputable company that stands by their warranty.  I have never seen them deny a claim when it is during the time period that they cover.  The problem is that the warranty covers financial assistance in the first ten years but not after that.  The current 2017 warranty covers the implants forever so it is likely they would give you two implants but not the financial assistance.  I would best recommend that you call your plastic surgeon who can call in a potential claim to Allergan, they can look up your serial numbers, and give you exact information.   If you are unable to see your surgeon go see another doc for consultation and bring whatever implant info you have with you so they can make this phone call.  Best of luck!
