What type of warranty will I receive with the implants? 10 YEARS RUPTURE WITH SURGICAL COVER, AFTER 10 YEARS LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR THE IMPLANTS.

Is there a doctor/nurse on call 24 hours? YES WE HAVE OUT OF HOURS NURSES/DOCTORS, ALSO ME AS PCC WILL BE ON CALL.

Would I be able to contact my surgeon directly should I encounter any problems? YOU WOULD CONTACT MYSELF DIRECT IN WHICH I WOULD CONTACT THE SURGEON.

Would  I have drains in following surgery? NO DRAINS NEEDED

Would it be possible for you to send me a copy of your aftercare policy by email?http://www.thehospitalgroup.org/cosmetic-surgery/unlimited-aftercare/

I also asked no. Of BA performed and year and how many result in a reop but this has been missed off the email so going back to ask this again xx

looks good in writing, ask what grade of CC is covered and also if you have any problems with the rupture are they covered too or is it just a change of the ruptured implant that gets sorted

PS tell me thats not you in the avi if so why are you getting done lol xx

Thanks Tink!! Will ask that too! 

They seem much better than Transform if this is the case ? 

Haha no is it eck just changed my Avi from my two boys to this for some boobspiration    Xx

yeah just ask as I know some clinics only cover grade 4 CC and also Im sure that cookie has some other complications with the rupture and im sure if I read right she had to pay to get these complications sorted xx

also thats the email she has answered questions, get them to send you it all in a signed and dated letter, just for extra cover xx

I will do hon good point ! X

no probs just trying to think of all the things that comes along with complications and what might and might not be covered if you look right into it

SO SO glad that you are really taking the time to look into all these things, well done you!! xx

Looking good... xx

So they're offering a budget implant and basically you get 3 years aftercare 

10 years for rupture.

That's basically your bog standard coverage babe. Xx

you did have ongoing related problems from rupture cookie that you have to cover the cost getting sorted didnt you? xx

Its basic cover really. CC is grade 3 and up I think, its on their website. Their 'lifetime care' means you can see a nurse at any time, but Ive heard some girls struggling to get post op appointments with their surgeons. I went with THG, and I was happy with it...But then Ive had no issues currently, so havent had to go back for anything other than my check ups.

Thanks everyone !!!

Cookie it's the Motiva implant I've been offered which is 100% full, is this a budget implant I was told it was like the 5th generation! X

Yup - ruptures are covered, but if you have any reactions caused by the rupture that isn't covered. This was with Transform. 

Terrible isn't it. They implant you and renege on any responsibility when your body reacts to the very implant they implanted!   

Cost me another £4500 even though I had aftercare.

on the hospital group website its grade 4-5 baker grade, that quite severe CC I had grade 3 and my surgeon would have operated on that by the time I had reop it was borderline grade 4

yes cookie def you would think that as its the rupture causing the probs the probs would be sorted too!! very wrong isnt it xx

Ahhhh I see. Their website only mentions Allergan and their budget implant (CUI) has a 10 year warranty, they premium implant (Natrelle) has a lifetime warranty hence my mistake lovely.

Yes, Motiva is a good implant. They do have a 10 year warranty as suggested by THG in their opening letter. They are also as you said a 5th generation implant   

Its worth weighing that up against the Natrelle Soft touch which is also a 5th generation implant. They offer a lifetime warranty with £750 towards any possible surgery you might have in the first ten years (remember on average you only get as you're seeing a 3 year warranty from clinics) after the 10 years should you need implants replacing the implant alone would be free for you. Xx

So its something to think about. Xx

Ah great so this is good then ?? It's very deceiving how lifetime is stated everywhere but it doesn't actually mean lifetime! X

Yes... Very clever wording in their advertising is very alluring at first glance isn't it. 

Its only when you actually start to dig that you realise - there's actual no such thing. 

Sorry, just to add - yes, its not a bad package if you're happy to proceed with the surgeon babe. Xx

I've also been offered a very good discount from THG... But disappointed Transform haven't replied yet xx

oh the lifetime cover is so catching isnt it, really theres not much in the lifetime cover except seeing the nurse/PCC and then at times the surgeonxx

Why am I not surprised.....  

I recommend THG x

Which surgeon did you have honey and size from and to? Did you go to Dolan Park? X

Princessgem this wrangers are awesome!! Makes me have boob envy & greed. Is that what you're hooping for? X
