While the risk of BIA-ALCL to patients is low, once the evidence indicated that Allergan’s textured breast implants appeared to be directly linked to significant patient harm, including death, we took action to protect women’s health.
FDA also posted an updated analysis of adverse event information—we are now aware of 573 unique cases of BIA-ALCL globally and 33 patient deaths, which reflects an increase since our last update in Feb. Of the 573 cases, 481 are attributed to Allergan implants.
