Breast Implant Warranties

By admin | July 23, 2010

Exchanging a pair of breast implants is not like exchanging a pair of jeans – it’s not just about saving your receipt and walking in and walking out of the store. However, breast implants do come with warranties, a type of protection that many women who undergo breast augmentation may not know about.

Factors such as the length of time for surgery, possible risks and side effects, anesthesia, and all that the recovery time entails are typically the most discussed areas of plastic surgery among doctor and patient; and although Dr. Robert D. Wilcox of Plano and Dallas, Texas provides patient satisfaction, due to his many years of experience and highly sought-after breast augmentation skills, it is still important that you are knowledgeable about what you are signing up for when it comes to the implant used for breast augmentation or a breast lift with augmentation.

Two of the more popular manufacturers of breast implants, Mentor and Allergan, are known to ensure quality product and development. It is reported that both manufacturers offer lifetime product replacement in the event of a deflation or rupture due to loss of shell. Still, the details regarding implant warranties can be confusing for some patients, as there are specifics per type of implant and different enrollment costs. Visiting each company’s corresponding websites to learn more about breast implant warranties go hand in hand with learning about the cost of plastic surgery. You want to make sure that your investment is worth it.
