Allergan Textured Breast Implant Recall

OUR FIRM IS NO LONGER ACCEPTING ALLERGAN TEXTURED BREAST IMPLANT CASES

On July 24, 2020, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration announced that ‘textured’ breast implants made by Allergan are being recalled due to the risk of developing Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). All “BIOCELL” Natrelle products manufactured by Allergen, both implants and tissue expanders, are being removed from the consumer market.

  • Natrelle Saline-Filled breast implants
  • Natrelle Silicone-Filled breast implants
  • Natrelle Inspira Silicone-Filled breast implants
  • Natrelle 410 Highly Cohesive Anatomically Shaped Silicone-Filled breast implants
  • Natrelle 133 Plus Tissue Expander
  • Natrelle 133 Tissue Expander with Suture Tabs

BIA-ALCL is a rare form of T-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma which is a cancer of the immune system. It is not “breast cancer” but does develop in the tissues surrounding the implant. The main symptom of BIA-ALCL is persistent swelling, pain and fluid accumulation around the implant. The implant contents (whether saline or silicone) are not a factor in developing BIA-ALCL. The roughened, ‘textured’ shell of the implant, designed to better hold the implant in place, has been singled out as the root cause. Symptoms may not occur until 8-10 years after breast reconstruction or augmentation surgery. Patients who are diagnosed with BIA-ALCL need early diagnosis and intervention including surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiation treatment.
