Faulty Breast implants

I always advice my patient to choose wisely. Reliablity and safety records comes at a cost. we are aware of safety issues with PIP implants and same are highlighted in this newspaper link.

“The company Poly Implant Prosthesis (PIP), based in the south of France, was one of the world’s leaders in silicone implant production until last year when it was found to have been cutting corners and saving an estimated €1bn (£840m) a year by using industrial silicone instead of medical-grade fillers in their breast implants. The casing around the filling was also faulty and prone to rupture or leakage.”
