Statement on PIP Implants

Dr Andy Jones, Group Medical Director, Nuffield Health, said:

“Last week, Nuffield Health called for an overhaul of the regulations governing the cosmetic surgery industry. We continue to urge the rest of the cosmetic surgery industry to support this 10-point plan.

“We are pleased that one of our recommendations to establish an ABTA/ATOL style guarantee for all cosmetic patients is being considered by Professor Sir Bruce Keogh, who is leading the Government review into the risks from faulty breast implants.

“It is the cosmetic surgery industry’s responsibility to help ensure safety is the highest priority going forward.”
