I first had my breast implants implanted 15yrs ago when I was 20. A second operation was performed in 2001 which used PIP implants - I was told this by my surgeon just before Christmas. On Monday (9th Jan '12) the ultrasound scan revealed they're both leaking. I was also informed I will need some lymph nodes removing as they're enlarged. All I want is to have the implants removed, however, I'm worried there will be a lot of excess skin left which may cause me to have body issues yet again - I had them done in the first place because of this. I feel very alone and scared.

PARIS (Reuters) - The French government urged 30,000 women in France on Friday to seek removal of defective breast implants that a now-defunct company exported worldwide but it said there was no evidence that the product raised the risk of cancer.
The government said public healthcare funds would be used to finance the removals, which were recommended because of the risk of ruptures that could cause inflammation and irritation, at a cost which health officials estimated at 60 million euros.

On Piers Morgan’s show, 38-year old Heidi Klum discussed her thoughts on many things including plastic surgery. “I can’t face myself,” said Heidi. “I can’t look in the mirror and look at fake things. I just can’t. I’d rather age.”
