Recall of textured Allergan Natrelle BIOCELL and McGhan implants and tissue expanders (2018)

BfArM, FDA:
“Based on currently available information, including newly submitted data, our analysis shows that the risk of BIA-ALCL with textured Allergan Biocell implants is approximately six times higher than the risk of BIA-ALCL with textured implants from other manufacturers, and continued distribution of Allergan Biocell textured breast implants would likely cause serious adverse health consequences and possibly death from BIA-ALCL.”

The U.S. FDA does not currently recommend that women have their Allergan Natrelle saline or silicone implants removed unless they have symptoms.
In December 2018, sales of Allergan textured breast implants were discontinued in Germany and the European Union, as well as in Israel, Brazil and Australia. Canada followed suit in May 2019 and the U.S. in June 2019.
