What is the expected lifetime of a silicone breast form?
Most breast forms are warranted against manufacturer’s defects for two years from the date of purchase. The warranty does not cover damage tot eh form from punctures or from erosion to the outer layer due to perfume or lotions. Premium breast forms may last longer than two years with proper care. It is still a good idea to see a Certified Mastectomy Fitter yearly to have a fit assessment, as women’s bodies change with age and weight. Medicare guidelines state the useful lifetime expectancy of silicone breast forms as two years. Non-silicone forms have an expected lifetime of six months.
