The dangers of silicone gel breast implants

The main types of breast implants are silicone gel type implants, saline type implants and hydrogel type implants. The most commonly used internationally is the silicone gel implant, which has two main surfaces: glossy and hairy. Silicone gel breast implants have been observed over a long period of time without significant complications, so there is no obvious harm to the body. Some time ago, Allergan issued a recall of its Naciri glossy breast implants and MICROCELL breast implants and tissue expanders due to a notice issued by the U.S. FDA stating that in order to protect individuals from the increased risk of breast transplant-related mesenchymal large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) due to these risks associated with Allergan’s product BIOCELL hairy surface technology breast The FDA has asked Allergan to recall its BIOCELL breast implants and tissue expanders due to the increased risk associated with its BIOCELL gross surface technology breast implants. The two breast implant products marketed by Allergan in China are Nacelle and Magel. The Nacelle and Magel products are divided into gross and glossy, and the recall is for the gross product, but the glossy product is not affected. There have been no domestic cases regarding BIA-ALCL, and internationally it is only recommended to use glossy silicone gel breast implants. For candidates who have already chosen breast implants, silicone gel implants are relatively safe, but if any discomfort occurs be sure to seek medical attention and regular review.
