Breast Implant Warranties
When you have surgery, you purchase your breast implants through the
plastic surgeon. You will receive, at no additional cost, a
lifetime replacement warranty (for the replacement cost of the implant
itself) in case of a rupture. Both Mentor and McGhan 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 one ruptures -
Inamed's does not. Mentor's Enhanced warranty can be bought
for 45 days after surgery and can be registered online. Inamed is
only a 30-day registration and is by mail only. Click on the
links below to learn more about each breast implant warranty.
