What is the Explantation Payment Option?
A28. If you had your Dow Corning breast implants removed anytime after December 31, 1990 and within 10 years of when the Plan goes into effect, then you may be eligible for a $5,000 explantation payment for domestic claims. If you were or are reimplanted with silicone gel breast implants, then you cannot recover this explant money. You can recover the explant money if you were reimplanted with saline breast implants.
