In 2020, Allergan began contacting patients who may not be aware of the July 2019, recall of BIOCELL textured breast implants and tissue expanders. Textured breast implants have been shown to raise the risk of a type of cancer called breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma, or BIA-ALCL. This risk is very small, the disease is very rare and treatable, and only certain textured implants (Allergan Biocell) have been recalled due to a greater association with the disease. If you are not aware of the BIOCELL recall or do not know the type of implant you have, you should: Visit BIOCELLinformation.com to see if Allergan can provide your implant information. Contact your initial surgeon to determine if they can provide your implant information. As board-certified plastic surgeons, our patient’s health and safety are of utmost concern. As such, we’re committed to only using fully FDA-compliant breast implants and continue to stay abreast of any updates made by our manufacturers and the FDA.
