In my experience, most major insurance carriers will cover removal of a rupture breast implant. Find a board-certified plastic surgeon who accepts insurance and they should be able to help you out.

Best of luck to you!

If your implant is silicone, this may be covered by insurance. There are known complications of ruptured silicone implants. If your implants are saline, then this may or may not be covered. See a local board certified plastic surgeon to help you through this process.

Thank you for reaching out. Assuming you have insurance you may be able to have this treated, if not, consider local plastic surgery training programs that may be of assistance.
