My daughter had breast implants many years ago, which ended up leaking and causing her much pain and muscle loss. She had them replaced due to body image issues four years ago and now these are leaking and causing the same problems.

The implants that she has now were stopped being used the month after she had them and the doctor has since retired. The cost to have them taken out are is about $10,000 as we live in a regional area and the doctor who does the operation has to fly up from Melbourne. She has been told that unless there is a class action against the manufacturer of the implants she will get no compensation. She is feeling very unwell and has been told that she will have to wait many months before she can have implants removed. Apparently the leaking implants can cause cancer.

Kind regards from a concerned mother.
