Medical breast expert steps in to remove PIP implants for free

Professor Kefah Mokbel, Consultant Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon, says: “In order to help those unfortunate women who have PIP implants across the UK, I offer to waive my usual professional fees for removing or replacing the PIP implants over the next six months. However, patients will be responsible for the hospital costs and the anaesthetist’s fees. They will also be responsible for the cost of new implants, should they wish to have the implants replaced."

Prof Mokbel is a Consultant Breast Surgeon specialising in breast reconstruction following masectomy and breast cancer surgery. He treats at St George's Hospital in South London and at The London Breast Institute in The Princess Grace Hospital in West London. He is Professor of Breast Cancer Surgery at The Brunel Institute of Cancer Genetics and Pharmacogenomics, and is also President of the Breast Cancer Hope Charity.
