Poly Implant Prothese (PIP) implants: Have you been affected?

In 2010, it emerged that implants manufactured by the French company Poly Implant Prothese (PIP) had been made with substandard silicone made for mattresses, not cosmetic surgery, and had a high splitting rate.

 

PIP was liquidated and the company's founder was sentenced to four years in prison for fraud.

 

Patient groups say there has been little support, recognition or information for those affected in the UK, and that thousands of women continue to experience health problems.[1]

 

Have you had a PIP implant? What has your experience been?
