Govt adviser says 50k women SHOULD have breast implants removed

All women with faulty breast implants should have them removed given the "uncertainty and lack of knowledge" about the extent of the problems, a leading surgeon has warned.
Tim Goodacre, a member of the government-commissioned panel investigating the Poly Implant Prothese (PIP) scandal, said the latest estimate of rupture rates was "very much higher" than he would consider acceptable.
About 40,000 British women are thought to have received the silicone implants made by PIP.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has said the risk of rupture is only 1%, but a cosmetic surgery chain told ministers privately that the figure could be as high as 7% or 8%.
