Breasts and the rest - Plastic Surgery

Is there an analogy with smoking though ?

Perhaps if the cigarettes supplied had been filled with a lesser quality tobacco than had been claimed on the pack ?

In both cases (if proven) the customer would be perfectly entitled to claim their money back from the retailer. It would then be up to the retailer (in this case...clinic) to claim from the supplier/manufacturer.

The clinics are businesses, and as such are just as liable for miss-selling their products and services as any other business.

It's only a loose analogy, Graham, but thanks for bothering to respond
Whether members are interested or not, this is a real scandal in an industry which exploits women - and increasingly men. Not least is the time this has taken to come to light - over a decade. It's a reflection on society that so many feel the need to " improve themselves " by cosmetic surgery, when a minority actually need such surgery for good clinical reasons. What a relief that there appears to be no risk of breast cancer from this procedure. A scary number of women, and a few men, already run that lifetime risk with few known preventable factors, as just illustrated in joebloggs' post.
