NB: Breast implants are a bad idea

January 19, 2012 by Jennifer Derwey Leave a Comment

Just in case you needed another reason to forego breast implants, serious health risks are being reported for PIP implants.

All women with faulty breast implants should have them removed given the ‘uncertainty and lack of knowledge’ about the extent of the problems, a leading surgeon warned today.

Tim Goodacre, a member of the Government-commissioned panel investigating the scandal, said the latest estimate of rupture rates was “very much higher” than he would consider acceptable.

About 50,000 British women are thought to have received the silicone implants made by Poly Implant Prothese (PIP) filled with gel meant for mattresses.
