PIP Breast Implants Guidance
Thu 12th Jan 12 - 14:12

We have had several enquiries from ladies worried over these stories which have been circulating since early 2010.

Our guidance is to return to your breast implant surgeon if you are concerned to find out whether your implants are PIP (Poly Implant Prothese) implants. It is important to have them regularly checked.

We have taken instructions from Patients where the implants have ruptured and they have had no option but to have them removed. Some have been able to have further replacements but many simply cannot afford to pay a second set of fees for the surgery.

The difficulty in pursuing the French company PIP, which exported its products to 66 countries is that they have gone into liquidation which has meant they are not in a position to satisfy judgements obtained against them for supplying defective implants.

Therefore we need to look at other avenues and consider pursuing the clinics or indeed the surgeons where these procedures took place.
