Breast Implant Warranty

Mentor is one of several manufacturers that make breast implants. Although all implant makers have their own warranty, they are similar, so we’ll use Mentor’s to give you an idea of what you can expect.

Mentor prides themselves in their customer service and willingness to assist patients however they can. They also offer a true patient warranty on all of their breast implants. It all begins with a lifetime replacement policy.

This lifetime replacement applies to anyone who has Mentor breast implants, and the age of the implant doesn’t matter.

Rupturing will result in a free replacement. It may also include financial assistance for the replacement of the implant. The surgeon is required to request the replacement implant. Almost all of the reputable manufacturers provide a very similar warranty.

These companies make a commitment to you past the day of your surgery. Besides the warranty, many offer a hotline so that you can have all of your questions answered in a timely manner.

This can relieve a great deal of anxiety, especially in the earlier days. Sure, your surgeon will be happy to answer any questions, but the hotline is so convenient, with no wait time.

Your surgeon will discuss the breast implant warranty with you before the date of your breast augmentation surgery. Because most of the warranties are similar, the implants used for you are chosen because they are suitable for your particular breast augmentation.
