It emerged in the mainstream media in October that the number of ruptured breast implants, following augmentation surgery of one type or another, has increased fivefold. Recently publicised figures show that in the year ending 2012/2013 there were 1,543 reported cases of women suffering ruptured breast implants to the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). Whilst this issue has been given the tongue-in-cheek moniker "Jordan Syndrome", after the glamour model Katie Price, the seriousness of this issue should not be understated. This point is highlighted by the ongoing civil group action against former French prosthetics company, Poly Implant Prothese (PIP), the details of which can easily be found by a simple internet search.
