The manufacturing company will replace your implant if it leaks. This is a lifetime warranty. However there is an operating room fee for replacing the leaking implant. The implant manufacturer will pay the operating room cost if the implant fails within 5 years of the original surgery. Thereafter it will be the responsibility of the patient to pay the operating room fee.
