Breast Implant Warranty Information
Breast Implant Warranty Information
When you have
breast augmentation surgery, you purchase your
breast implants through the plastic surgeon. You will receive, at no additional cost, a
lifetime replacement warranty for breast implants (for the replacement cost of the implant itself) in case of a rupture. Both
Mentor and
Inamed also offer financial assistance for a certain time-period after your
breast augmentation surgery to cover certain additional costs (surgical expenses, etc.). You may also be able to purchase additional coverage.
Mentor's basic warranty covers
both implants when 1 ruptures -
Inamed's does
not.
Mentor's enhanced warranty can be bought within 45 days after surgery and can be registered online.
Inamed's warranty
is only a 30-day registration, sent by mail only.
