This information is dedicated to PIP victims and is not meant to apply to other types of cosmetic surgery of which there are many and each has its own associated complexity. It would be reasonable to assume that the breast implant scandal with PIP is straight forward considering that the information widely publicized about the toxic silicone.

What makes these claims different is that the manufacturers of PIP are a company that was registered in France and is no longer trading, uzņēmums režisors ir krimināllieta pret viņu, un apdrošināšanas, ka viņš bija uzņēmumam nav pieejama, jo pārkāpj noteikumu politikas. Tātad ziņā, kurš ir vainīgs acīmredzama iespējams pirmā izvēle ir ražotājs nav risinājums.

Atbildība par izmantojot šos implantus neslēpjas tikai ar ražotāju, jo tie bija nozīmīgi, bet nestrādāja vieni. Ir arī izplatītājiem, kuri, mēs zinām, kas ir uzņēmums, ko sauc Cloverleaf, and the clinics and the surgeons all of whom played a part in this. It is the level of involvement and responsibility that they each had which is the subject of debate and legal investigations and this is what distinguishes this from other claims for cosmetic surgery.

It would also be reasonable for you to assume these claims are medical or clinical negligence due to the procedure but that is not the legal case. Juridiskā lieta ir tā, ka šīs prasības varētu būt patērētāju prasības tādā pašā veidā, ka jums ir aizsargāta, ja jūs iegādājaties nekvalitatīvu preci, lai gan produkts tika implantēts jūsu ķermeņa operācijas tas joprojām produkts.

Tas nav, lai izslēgtu pilnīgi par medicīnas nolaidību elements, jo tas var būt faktors.

Tāpēc, ja tie ir jāuzrāda par patērētāju prasību daļa no pierādījumiem, būs faktiskais līgums ar klīniku vai ķirurga, kas sniegusi tevi vai veikta operācija. This is why we are asking those who seek our help for copies of any documents that they have regarding the original brochure from the clinic offering the treatment to the final payment or fee for after care.

Please think back carefully to when you first decided to have this treatment and it may be worthwhile writing notes about this to help your recollection. We will be asking you for a timeline of sorts to confirm:

When you decided to have the surgery

How you went about choosing the clinic and/or surgeon

What advertising material did you review or rely on for your choice

What were the payment arrangements?

What did the clinic require of you before the procedure took place e.g. were there meetings with the surgeon in advance, were your medical records reviewed, were you examined and did you fill in an information sheet about your health and any medication or ailments.

Background information

The silicone breast implants were made by the French company Poly Implant Prothese (PIP) and banned in 2010. We are not certain of the date when they were first manufactured but this was around 2000-2003.

The product was banned due to the identification that the implants were not the safe medical silicone but rather industrial grade.

What is silicone implant rupture?

This is when the implant splits and releases the silicone gel. The split can either be a large tear or a small split which would be hardly noticeable and this is the main problem for most women. If the split was obvious they would have known there was a problem sooner but because many have a small tear where the silicone is seeping out it is not obvious.

The result of the split can cause many problems such as scar tissue, wrinkling of the skin, change of shape, sāpes, numbness to name but a few.

What is the global scale?

Recent estimates put the total at 300,000 implants in 65 countries to give you an indication of the massive scale of this problem with approximately 40,000 women in the UK. Tikai 5% or so of the implants were used by the NHS.

Advice about removal?

There is no consensus and it appears to be where you live that is the answer. So if you reside in Wales, France, Germany, it is yes.

If you live in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland the answer is that it is not necessary unless you have confirmation that you have a rupture.

What is Compensation?

Compensation usually falls under two categories: 1) the pain, suffering and loss of amenity which means the physical and psychological injury; un 2) any financial losses which would be the cost of the first surgery and any further treatment costs, travel expenses, time off work, medication, etc….
