The case of the defective PIP breast implants revealed that you can't afford to compromise the quality of a breast implant on the pretext of a "low-cost" race. Indeed, this laboratory had marketed prostheses at €300 a pair, whereas the usual price is €500. The company quickly gained market share, which exacerbated the number of patients affected.
You can't cut corners with patients' health. That's why, for over 1 year now, I've chosen to use only top-of-the-range implants, even if it means increasing the cost of the operation.
This subject is covered in an interview I gave to "Votre Beauté" magazine in September 2011.
