Allergan recalls certain silicone-filled breast implants due to higher risk of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) in patients with textured implants. Affected products include Natrelle and McGhan brands.
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 specific silicone-filled breast implants that have a textured surface. These implants may carry a higher risk of a rare type of lymphoma called BIA-ALCL. If you have one of these models, you should contact the company for further instructions.
The recalled implants have a textured surface that can cause a rare type of lymphoma called anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) in some patients. This condition is uncommon but has been linked to textured breast implants.
Women who have received the recalled textured breast implants are most at risk. These implants were sold for breast augmentation and reconstruction under brands like Natrelle, McGhan, and Inamed.
Check if your implant is labeled with style numbers 110, 115, or 120 (e.g., 110-090, 115-150, 120-180). Products may have been sold under the Natrelle, McGhan, or Inamed brand names.
