Toxic breast implants not only rocked Europe and Latin America, also occurs in Asia and the Middle East. Breast implant leakage is very disturbing the users.
It is estimated there are about 30,000 women in France are advised to remove the breast implants because of the threat of cancer. Implants made from silicone are considered unsafe, because it is made of special silicon raw material for electronic equipment.
Since the appeal has become a government program, health departments throughout France to ensure the release of the operating cost of the implant. But if anyone wants to be replaced with silicone implants are better, then the costs are borne personally.
French government issued an appeal following the 8 cases of breast cancer are found in succession in southern France, one of them fatal. Of these cases, all on artificial implants Poly Implant Prosthesis (PIP) of the famous cheap.

Apart from in France, a similar implant was also used by about 50,000 women in Britain and Spain. Even so, the British government reaction French judge too much by making such threats as a national crisis.
But it is believed, the implant would not be so easily broken if there is no trigger, among others, sex is too brutal.

Male Breast Cancer
