Enfòmasyon sa a dedye a viktim PIP epi yo pa vle di ke yo aplike nan lòt kalite operasyon kosmetik nan yo ki gen anpil epi chak gen pwòp li yo ki asosye konpleksite. Li ta rezonab ou panse ke eskandal lan implant tete ak PIP se dwat devan konsidere ke enfòmasyon an lajman pibliye sou silicone toksik la.

Ki sa ki fè reklamasyon sa yo diferan se ke manifaktirè yo nan PIP se yon konpayi ki te anrejistre nan Lafrans ak pa gen okenn komès ankò, the company director has criminal charges against him, and the insurance that he had for the company is not available due to the breach of the terms of the policy. So in terms of who is at fault the obvious possible first choice being the manufacturer is not an option.

The responsibility for the use of these implants does not lie exclusively with the manufacturer as they were significant but did not work alone. There are also the distributors who we know to be a company called 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.

Li ta tou dwe rezonab pou ou pou w asime reklamasyon sa yo, se neglijans medikal oswa klinik akòz pwosedi a men sa se pa ka a legal. Ka a legal se ke reklamasyon sa yo, se chans yo dwe konsomatè reklamasyon nan menm fason an ke ou ap pwoteje si ou achte yon pwodwi defo byenke te pwodwi a anjandre nan kò ou pa operasyon li se toujou yon pwodwi.

Sa se pa règ soti konplètman yon eleman nan neglijans medikal paske sa a pouvwa gen yon faktè.

Se poutèt sa si sa yo, se yo dwe prezante kòm reklamasyon konsomatè yon pati nan prèv la pral kontra aktyèl la ak klinik la oswa chirijyen ki apwovizyone ou menm oswa te pote soti operasyon an. 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:

jan nou koumanse enfòmasyon

enplantasyon yo tete silicone te fè pa konpayi an franse Poly Implant Prothese (PIP) ak entèdi nan 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, doulè, 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. Sèlman 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; ak 2) nenpòt pèt finansye ki ta dwe a depans pou operasyon an premye ak nenpòt depans tretman plis, depans vwayaj, tan nan travay, medikaman, elatriye ....

This date may be extended but as a precaution we would ask that you work towards that date.
