Hello Interloper!

Many of the PIP implant ladies are in an unusual situation: PIP is a brand of implants proven to be sub-standard, with a higher than usual rupture rate.
Many of these implants are causing problems and often rupturing or developing gel-bleed way before the estimated 10-15 year implant ‘life expectancy’.
But in a few cases, the PIP implants have actually made it to 9 or 10 years.
In these cases, the women may be surprised to learn that they would quite possibly have been facing implant removal and replacement anyway, whether they had PIP implants or not.
