Does anyone with Vasculitis or someone you know with Vasculitis have experience of PIP implants?

It has come to our attention that one of our members with HSP had PIP implants that might have been the cause of her HSP. Does anyone else have experience of these implants ?

A relative of mine had breast implants in August 2010 and has been diagnosed with urticarial vasculitus. She is currently having tests done in the hospital to confirm the diagnosis. WIsh we had answers.

Did your relative have the PIP implants? Has she had a diagnosis yet? We have been contacted by a lady with HSP who is convinced her currant health problems are due to a PIP implant rupture and is having them removed as soon as possible. The PIP implants were done privately.
