If you’re considering breast augmentation or revision breast surgery using silicone gel implants, now may be the best time to schedule your procedure. Patients who act quickly can still take advantage of upgraded implant warranties, which offer substantially improved financial protection—but time is running out.
Breast implant manufacturers introduced these enhanced warranties earlier this year, and they are the most comprehensive warranties we’ve seen to date. They offer added peace of mind for patients who want financial security in the unlikely event of an implant rupture. Here’s what you need to know if you’re planning breast enhancement surgery before the end of the year.
What’s Covered Under the Upgraded Warranty?
For patients who undergo surgery on or before December 31, 2009, the following limited-time benefits are available:
-
Up to $3,500 of financial coverage toward surgical costs in the event of an implant rupture
-
Lifetime product replacement policy included
-
10-year warranty coverage term, providing long-term peace of mind
This level of reimbursement is significantly higher than what standard warranties offered in previous years. Traditional warranties generally included:
-
Lifetime replacement of ruptured implants
-
Financial reimbursement of only $1,200
-
Premium warranty options capped around $2,400
Compared to those older policies, the $3,500 reimbursement represents a major enhancement in value, reducing out-of-pocket costs if a revision procedure becomes necessary.
Who Qualifies?
To qualify for this enhanced breast implant warranty, patients must:
-
Schedule and undergo their surgery on or before December 31, 2009
-
Choose a procedure that uses silicone gel implants
-
Undergo a qualifying procedure such as:
-
Primary breast augmentation
-
Breast implant revision surgery
-
Reconstructive breast surgery
-
It’s important to note that saline implants are not eligible for this upgraded warranty program. Only surgeries using silicone gel implants will qualify.
Why the Warranty Matters
Even though breast implants are long-lasting medical devices, no implant is guaranteed to last a lifetime. Complications such as rupture, capsular contracture, or implant deflation—while rare—can occur over time.
Revision surgery can be expensive, even with insurance. The upgraded warranty helps reduce financial anxiety by offering higher reimbursement levels, so patients can plan with greater confidence. This is especially helpful for women seeking their first implant surgery or those undergoing breast implant revision due to aging implants or aesthetic changes over time.
Why Now May Be the Best Time for Breast Augmentation
Aside from the warranty advantages, winter is a popular time to schedule breast surgery. Here’s why many women choose to book procedures in the late fall or early winter:
-
Cooler temperatures allow for more discreet healing under layers of clothing
-
Recovery during the holidays can align with existing vacation time
-
You’ll be fully healed and ready for spring and summer activities
-
You’ll secure the upgraded warranty coverage before it expires
Combining seasonal benefits with the financial advantages of this warranty makes now an ideal time to explore your options for breast enhancement.
