what type of implants does mya use?

i have just read a bad thread on sofem about ( PIp cohesive gel implants ) are these what MYA use ??

mya use allergen cui (these are not the fda approved ones) xxx

what do you mean not fda approved ?

Thanks for all your comments.We just wanted to clarify a few things about the implants used by MYA.

MYA offer a range of implants all manufactured by Allergan, the largest manufacturer of breast implants in the world. The shell of the CUI implant contains six separate layers of silicone. This is exactly the same as the premium range implants. The CUI range are Class 3 certified and CE marked medical devices. This is the highest European and UK regulatory standard. Please be aware that the FDA certification refers purely to the USA market and the CUI were never put forward to get the approval. The Class 3 Certification that they have is the best possible in Europe and the UK.

Please feel free to discuss this at your consultation with your patient co-ordinator.

thanks

Do the Allergan CUI implant come with a 10 yr product replacement?

Yes they do Jane, I asked my pc, but aparently u can also pay extra for more expensive ones which have a lifetime warranty.

Whats a product replacement?x

im concerned that i was never given the option

Yeah, I had 2 ask, didn’t know there were all different grades until the discussions on sofem. X

Hi Jane,

Yes, the Allergan CUI implants come with a 10 year guarantee. This refers to spontaneous rupture which is extremely unlikely with implants of this quality.

There is no expiration date on the implants so the only reason you would need to replace them is if and when your body changes over time.

I hope this helps. If you have any other questions please let us know.
