Is there a warranty which covers a ruptured implant?
Both Allergan and Mentor, the two major breast implant companies, provide warranties for their breast implants. If an implant ruptures, they provide you with a free implant. Although there are slight differences between their coverage, both also provide funds to cover the costs of replacement if the rupture occurs within the first ten years after surgery. In addition, each company will provide additional funds to help cover the costs of anesthesia and facility fee to have the implant replaced. Currently, each company provides a warranty for up to $3500 at no additional charge.
