Once you’ve made the final decision to move forward with breast augmentation, it’s time to choose your breast implants. In Houston and Cypress, TX, Dr. Bob Basu points out an important factor in choosing the best implant, the warranty the implant offers. He uses Natrelle® breast implants, which come with options for a few different warranty plans.

All Natrelle breast implants come with an automatic Confidence Plus® 10-year warranty. If you want even more coverage for your Natrelle® implants, you can elect to purchase the 10-year Confidence Plus Premiere® warranty.

If you are not certain which warranty you prefer at the time of your surgery, you still have time to make your choice. You can elect to upgrade to the Confidence Plus Premiere® warranty within the first 45 days following your breast augmentation surgery. Most people pay a one-time $100 fee for the upgrade.

Confidence Plus® Warranty

Your complimentary Confidence Plus® warranty can be applied to silicone or saline breast implants. The terms of the warranty cannot be cancelled. The warranty includes:

• Up to $1200 reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses not covered by your insurance, such as operating room costs and anesthesia costs
• 10 years of financial assistance
• Automatic enrollment
• Lifetime product replacement

Confidence Plus Premiere® Warranty

Certain types of Natrelle® breast implants come with automatic enrollment in the Confidence Plus Premiere® warranty at no additional charge. Implants that do not come with automatic enrollment can be registered for a fee.

Your enhanced Confidence Plus Premiere warranty can be applied to silicone or saline breast implants. Terms of the warranty cannot be cancelled. The warranty includes:

• Up to $2400 reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses not covered by your insurance, such as operating room costs and anesthesia costs
• 10 years of financial assistance
• Automatic renewal of Confidence Plus® warranty
• Contralateral implant replacement, meaning if one breast implant ruptures, both implants can be replaced
• Lifetime product replacement

Lifetime Replacement Warranty

Certain types of Natrelle® implants are covered by lifetime replacement warranty. All recipients of these types of implants will have the following benefits:

• Your implant will be replaced if it ruptures due to a defect in the implant shell (casing)
• Your surgeon can request a replacement Natrelle® implant of any size or style
• Your ruptured implant can be replaced with any Natrelle® implant of equal value

You can feel confident about your Natrelle® breast implants because of the security offered by your breast implant warranty.

This warranty information is valid as of April 2011 and is subject to change at the discretion of the manufacturer.
