Allergan recalls Natrelle Inspira textured silicone breast implants due to higher risk of BIA-ALCL. Check style numbers listed to see if your implant is affected.
The action was initiated following notification by the U.S. FDA of their recently updated, global safety information concerning the higher incidence of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) in patients who have textured breast implants.
Allergan is recalling certain Natrelle Inspira silicone breast implants because they have been linked to a higher incidence of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) in some patients. This recall affects specific style numbers and may require removal or replacement.
The recalled implants have a textured surface that can lead to a rare type of lymphoma called BIA-ALCL (breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma) in some patients. This condition is uncommon but has been reported more frequently with these specific implant types.
Women who have received the recalled Natrelle Inspira silicone breast implants are affected. Those with textured implants from the listed style numbers are at risk for BIA-ALCL.
Check your implant style number against the list provided in the recall. The affected implants are labeled with specific style codes like TRL, TRLP, TRM, TRF, TRX, TSL, TSLP, TSM, TSF, TSX, TCL, TCLP, TCM, and TCF. Products may have been sold under the brands McGhan, Inamed, or NATRELLE.
Review your implant's style number to see if it matches the list of affected styles provided in the recall.
Reach out to your plastic surgery provider to discuss whether your implant is affected and next steps for monitoring or replacement.
