Frequently asked questions

• How will I know which brand, kind and volume of implant to chose?

  During your FREE initial private consultation with Dr Giraldo your case will be fully evaluated and a complete assessment will be carried out. Throughout this appointment a series of precise measurements will be taken of your breasts that will be used to formulate an exact idea of the best volume, projection and make of implant required in your personal case. You are welcomed and encouraged to look through our extensive collection of pre and post surgery photos. Here you’ll find a wide variety of previous cases to help you obtain a good understanding of what‘s expected and the results achieved in previous cases.

• What is the procedure should a complication occur? What are the guarantees in operating with Dr Giraldo’s Team?

  The most frequent complications usually occur during the first year of surgery. These are a contraction of the implant (leaving the breast hard and deformed in shape) and visible changes to the shape of the breast (lowering or rising of the implants). During your first year your costs to rectify such types of complications are 100% covered. The MENTOR implants offer a lifetime guarantee for any rupture and a guarantee of 10 years for a serious implant contraction (III-IV).

Do implants last a lifetime?

Current implants have a complex manufacturing process and undergo many quality tests in the companies in which they are manufactured. However absolutely all implants need to be replaced sooner or later, depending on how they behave in each individual over time. Generally speaking implants must be replaced between 8 and 20 years after surgery.
