"We've calculated that around 4,500 implants of the PIP (Poly Implant Prothese) brand have been inserted, that's our first estimate. We've had no reports of fatalities, cancer or problems among patients," said Alejandro Duarte, president of the Mexican Association of Plastic Surgery.
Mexican health officials have received no reports of serious problems with the suspect implants but it would be prudent for women who have the implants to get them checked for faults, said association president Alejandro Duarte.
