Breast Implant Warranties

Breast implants fail at a rate of about 1 percent a year.

Both Mentor and Inamed (formerly McGhan) offer free, lifetime product replacement.

Both companies allow the patient to choose replacement implants of a different style and size than the original. If the patient chooses a higher-priced implant style - for example, she switches from a saline, round implant to a textured-shaped implant – she will be required to pay the price difference. Patients are not charged to go up or down on size, or more than one size on a case-by-case basis.

Neither company covers the removal of intact implants due to capsular contracture, wrinkling or rippling; the loss of implant shell integrity resulting from reoperative procedures; nor the removal if intact implants for size alteration or because of dissatisfaction with aesthetics.
