I HOPE THIS HELPS
“Allergan CUI’s are basically their ‘basic implants’. They’re good quality and come EU approved with a kite mark but they are not FDA approved (so safe to use over here but not in America- unsure why!!) They are strong and made of cohesive gel (so they don’t leak into the breat tissue if they rupture) but their rates of rupture are at about 5%, and they come with a manufacturer’s guarantee of only 10 years. So basically after 10 years if anything happens to them you have to fork out for more surgery AND new implants.
Allergan also produce Inspira ‘Responsive’ and ‘Soft touch’. Both are FDA and EU approved with a kite mark and they also both have a LIFETIME guarantee with the manufacturer. So even after your surgeon’s after care runs out, you will be covered to a certain degree with these. So if at any point in your life, they rupture or need replacing after capsular contraction for example, the cost of replacement implants will be free plus they contribute £700 towards the cost of replacing the implant. You can don’t have to have exactly the same size next time either (i think yoiu can go up of down one size when you change the implants)
The difference between them in terms of cost is I an extra £308 for responsive and £461 for soft touch. The rupture rates for both is about 1% and the main difference between them is how they feel. They are better quality (hence why you are paying more).
I’ve chosen Responsive as they behave like your breast tissue and drop slightly to look more natural, whereas soft touch feel natural, but stay put high in the chest”
