Different implant manufacturers have different policies. One of the two major companies has the following replacement policy:
An implant is replaced free of charge for the patent's lifetime if there is a confirmed leakage of the implant, and this applies to either silicone or saline implant. For up to ten years after the surgery, the implant company will also provide up to $1,200 of financial assistance for the operating room, anesthesia, and surgical charges not covered by insurance. Upon the surgeon's request, the opposite implant, which may still be intact, will also be replaced free of charge.
For a $100 enrollment fee within 45 days of the surgery, the company will provide up to $2,400 of financial assistance with the same conditions as noted above.

Approximately 25 years ago, drawing upon experience gained from post-mastectomy breast reconstruction patients, plastic surgeons began placing the implants behind the pectoralis muscles of the chest for cosmetic breast augmentation. The technique gained popularity, and is now the most commonly used placement for implants, largely because of two advantages: 1) post augmentation mammograms are more reliable, because less breast tissue is obscured when the implant is positioned behind the muscle; and 2) placement behind the muscle lowers the incidence of capsular contracture, a post-surgical hardening of the tissue around the implant, which can make the breast feel undersirably firm.

The most commonly used incisions for breast augmentation are around the areolar (the pigmented skin around the nipple) and in the crease under the breast. While most scars are rather conspicuous, there is a lot of variation in the appearance of incision scars from one person to the next. With breast augmentation, there will always be an incision scar. An incision line around the areolar is often less noticeable than one in the crease under the breast. However, the areolar incision line is visible in the upright position as well as in the lying position whereas an incision in the breast crease is hidden in the standing or sitting position. Other incision locations include the armpit and around the navel. Many plastic surgeons, however, feel that these incisions are too far from the breast to get an optimal placement of the implants.

The FDA took silicone breast implants off the market in 1992 out of concern for the safety of patients having breast augmentation. Since that time there have been many studies which show there is no relationship between silicone breast implants and medical illnesses. In 2006, they were re-introduced and approved for general use.
