This website includes a support group of women who have been victims to the PIP implants and a legal section where you can join over 350 women who have been victims to the profiteering of companies supplying PIP implants. We have also started a register of women who have had breast augmentation surgery to register their implants and surgeon as this will help to identify early any surgeon who has high complication rates and any implant that is having high problem rates so that we as an industry can be pro-active and retrain or remove potential problems as they arise.
