Re: OT PIP implants

I have heard that once the regulatory authority of some EU country

There is a lengthy discussion on this matter over at uk.legal.moderated

But while we're here, am I the only one struck by the similarity of the situation that had just made the news with a plot on "Holby City" a month or two back and which would have been filmed several months before then. Has this been rumbling on for some while behind the scenes?

Didn't the PIP thing start to, up, blow up around a couple of years ago?

Why, are you thinking of getting yours removed?

[The Natural Philosopher]

And where, harry, has it been inserted...?

I think we should be told...

[Roger Mills]

Are you suggesting that Harry's a right tit?

[Bob Eager]

No, he gets paid a Tit-In-Tariff.

Harry had a silicone brain implant to make his look bigger.

Heh, it's French, they'll shrug and say users didn't have to choose these ones ...

Yes, it has. I recall reading about a woman several years ago whose implants were leaking and causing all sorts of side-effects. I don't recall whether she had PIP implants, but I do recall the surgeon who removed them was a bit scathing about the quality.

As you posted it in this DIY group I half expected to read a DIY removal technique. Could make an interesting movie as the police close in on the mystery breast mangler. Kind of puts one off ones cornflakes thinking about it.
