Petition Action

Set the U.K. minimum legal age to 21 for cosmetic breast augmentations.

Petition Details

I was 18 when I had my Breast implant surgery. 18 is still very vulnerable and impressionable. Breast Implant Illness causes distressing and life-changing symptoms, even after explanting not every woman fully recovers.

Additional Information

"International Consortium of Investigative Journalists found that:

More than 1,200 serious incidents linked to breast implants have been reported in the UK since the start of 2015.

Links made between popular textured implants and a rare type of cancer.

Reports of ruptured implants, pain, disfigurement, allergic reactions and other symptoms."

It’s almost 10 years on and I've been suffering with fatigue, hair loss, panic attacks and joint pains ever since.
