warning for Luc Vrambout and BeauCare clinic

They sometimes will strtch the truth hun and tell people anything over the phone, if you want personal details about yourself you can ask for these in letter/email (has to be written) under the data protection act. They then have to provide you with all information relating to you. I never trust a phone call. Get eveything in writting.

Firstly hun sending a a great big hug! and a big welcome to BJSF. xx

I agree with misf1 that all correspondence with BeauCare should be done in writing and also in addition to that send your letters by recorded delivery so you also have proof of posting.

Really hope you get your paperwork soon sweetie and in the meantime we'll be here for support should you need us Anouk. xxx

Dear girls, thank you for the support! After my first phonecall with BeaCare they lied to me about the PIP. Then I sent an email with the request to get information about the implants. Then BeauCare sent me an email back in which they said my file was gone?! Now i found out that a lot of patients of BeauCare are in the same situation and nobody can tell them what kind of implants they have! This Luc Vrambout is such a $&@#%+! his only concern is with his reputation and he doesn't give a........ About his patients!

Have you sought legal advice at all Anouk? Having a legal document sent to them requesting your surgery details and implants used might just be the bit more weight needed to retrieve the information hun?. xx

Even this doesn't help. There is a group of very angry women who tried this and only got the answer"we don't have the files anymore" . now they are thinking of bringing this awful situation to the media . I hope this will happen to avoid that he harmes more people. He also used the word experiment to me, regarding the use of PIP implants. He sees his patients as a sort of animals! We have to put a hold to this!

By the way, if you wanna read more about this topic, google luc vrambout BeauCare PIP and then you see a lot of forums regarding this mess he made!

It's a very terrible thing to have happened to all women who have had PIPs implanted by all clinics/surgeons involved Anouk and I really do hope the press do more to put out there just how badly you have all been treated. Especially those of you still left in limbo with no evidence from clinics unless you get the PIPs explanted and kept as evidence against the companies/surgeons.

As PIPs are no longer in production they can never again be implanted into any other women and this I think we should all be very thankful for but I doubt any single one of us here will ever forget the trauma women with PIPs have been/are going through.

Anouk, if it were me sweetheart and I KNEW I had PIPs, I'd firstly approach my GP and arrange for a scan to be done to ensure your implants are intact. If they are, you have time sweetie, if they aren't, then you have a very difficult decision to make and my heart really does go out to you when I say this, but if I didn't have the money to have a re-op to replace them, I think I'd have to have them explanted through the NHS and if I wanted breast augmentation again, I'd save hard to get it babe.

I know how hard that is to read hun, but if you have a rupture and have the implants explanted, you then have your evidence that were implanted with PIPs.

If you're currently experiencing any symptoms from PIPs Anouk and your implants are still intact, go and see your solicitor and log your claim, the claim will be good from the day you logged your symptoms, so you'll be able to buy time to possible save to have the PIPs explanted.

I found some very good information regarding possible refunds for PIP ladies HERE Anouk.

I know it's of no consolation to you sweetheart, but once you have the evidence in your hands, maybe at least some of you can be reimbursed. xxxx

Thank you so much cookie, every info helps! As long as there are creaters like this 72 years old french monster who produced this implants and moneyaddicts like Luc Vrambout and his BeauCare we have to help each other!! These " men" treats women like animals!! Xxxx

We really do, do all we can here Anouk to ensure ladies with PIP get all the right information we can get to them and hopefully set them on the right track.

Hopefully there will more information soon to further help you all xx
