Has anyone ever had this problem - a ruptured implant? I recently had pneumonia and in the process of the CT scan, it was discovered that my left implant is ruptured, only the inside capsule, not the outside one. This was discovered just about 1 year to the day after I got my implants. My PS said I need to have it replaced. "Just a minor surgery" he says, "no big deal." The problem is that this "minor issue" is going to cost me my entire $6000 out-of-pocket annual charge!! Does anyone know if the manufacturer should be responsible for any part of this issue? If so, I would love to hear from you.
