What a PIP Breast Implant

Basically, PIP breast implants are silicone breast implants containing unapproved silicone gel. Poly Implant Prothèse (PIP) was a French company founded in 1991, and produced silicone gel breast implants. After 10 years of being founded, the company started to use cheaper material graded silicone instead of the mandated medical-grade silicone they had previously used. PIP implants are 2 to 6 times more likely to rupture than standard silicone implants. Between 2001 and 2010, 300.000 patients in 65 countries have had them fitted both for cosmetic reasons and in reconstructive surgery. During 10 years, there have been many successful PIP breast implant claims. According to the French Supreme Court, 400.000 women worldwide may be able to receive compensation from their defective PIP breast implants. Nowadays, people with PIP breast implants are looking for a safe breast implant renewal procedure because of the risk involved. The most important thing patients need to pay attention to is the brand of the implants. PIP implants should be replaced with high-quality and FDA Approved Breast Implants such as Mentor, Motiva, Allergan, etc. Patients who changed the implants with FDA Approved Implants have long-term satisfaction and won’t face any problems in the future
