PIP Implant Prices
At Confidence our position has always been clear, that we are here to promote safe surgery by reputable surgeons in the local market. The news recently that PIP implants have been found to be faulty in itself has been a major cause for concern form many patients including those who do not have PIP implants, but are now concerned over the long term affects of their surgery.
At Confidence we have never used PIP implants, preferring to use higher quality products supplied by Nagor and Allergan which have a proven track record within the market. In conjunction with our partner hospital we have put together a range of services for patients who may have concerns but now find themselves in a position where their original provider is unable or unwilling to support them. To this end we have agreed pricing on these services which will allow them to be delivered at cost to the patients who are in need of help. The options are as follows

Some patients may wish to use implants from other manufacturers or may wish to have anatomically shaped implants and in these cases the consultant will be able to advise on the suitability of these options and a price for this can only be provided on a case by case basis.
Also you should be aware that on removal of your PIP implants there may be a capsule or inflammation of the breast tissue or adjacent lymph nodes and the consultants may take tissue samples for biopsy to ensure that there is nothing else to worry about. The cost of these tests are fixed at £180 , regardless of how many samples we need to take.
