NHS: Not enough evidence to recommend their early removal
The Truth: implants aren't medical grade, testing shows implants have an increased chance of rupturing & have done so in many reported cases, cases of anaplastic lymphoma cancer have been reported as a result.

Their advice should be revised in favour of proactive removal sooner rather than later.
