Another Risk of Surgical Tourism: Foreign Breast Implants

Since the recall, research by the French Society of Plastic

, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery (SOFCPRE) has revealed that the company had long manufactured defective implants. In its investigation, SOFCPRE found that PIP had done away with a secondary protective barrier in 2005. This barrier was intended to prevent the leak of silicone into the body, either through migration or rupture. PIP had also switched the type of silicone gel it was using, without informing regulatory agencies of the change. When SOFCPRE contacted the gel manufacturer for biocompatibility studies, it found there were no such studies because the manufacturer said it believed the gel was to be used in making mattresses.
