Mentor Breast implants are guaranteed for your lifetime

I was just asked about the expected lifetime of breast implants. All patients with Mentor MemoryGel breast implants are automatically eligible for the Mentor Lifetime Product Replacement Policy.    Just to show how much implant companies stand by their products -Mentor Corporation is offering a limited time Premier Advantage breast implant warranty  which includes: in addition to lifetime product replacement – 10 years of financial assistance from the date of implant of up to $3,500 in surgical assistance, free contralateral implant rep[lacement and non -cancelable terms.This definitely is a long term commitment from Mentor!     I have told many patients that the products must be made well or the company could not offer this sort of warranty.  This additional warranty is free but this offer is only available for surgeries done between May 1st, 2009 and December 31, 2009.  After that time the optional  warranty coverage will again be $2400 and cost $100.
