Executive Summary
Swissmedic, the Swiss authority responsible for overseeing medical devices, has published an eight-page brochure to help patients decide whether or not to go ahead with breast implant operations. The free brochure recognises that such surgery is important for some women psychologically and that there has been a lot of misinformation about the problems associated with breast implants. It clearly explains the problems that can arise and the measures that would need to be taken. The brochure, the ABC of breast implants, can be read on the Swissmedic website in French, German and Italian: www.swissmedic.ch/md/abc/f/abc-text.htm
