Breast Implant

Breast implant lawsuits involve claims that textured and certain silicone or saline implants are linked to serious health conditions, including Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), a rare cancer of the immune system, and Breast Implant Illness (BII), a cluster of autoimmune-like symptoms some patients report after implantation. Some textured implant models have been recalled due to their association with BIA-ALCL.
