Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Ann, I had McGhan 168 salines and the valves were incorrectly manufactured. That is a common problem with these. Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 McGhan will only pay for reimplantation with another implant when the original deflates or ruptures. It is part of their Confidence Plus warranty, but unfortunately, for us, this kind of warranty is worthless. http://www.lookingyourbest.com/info/breastaugmentation-warranty.php ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeanine Buchanan Sent: Friday, February 20, 2004 9:35 PM Subject: Re: Mcghan 168 So Barbra, did McGhan pay for your explants?

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Neenie, My explant was covered by health insurance since I had bad capsular contractrion due to the textured implant. I have not received any compensation yet but I believe we are trying for a class action lawsuit. If you have those implants and are going to be explanted I would encourage you to contact Sawyer at Indy Survivor@.... Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
