Recommendations for People who Have or Are Considering Breast Implants The FDA continues to recommend the following: If you are considering breast implants or if you have them, learn more about the risks and benefits of breast implants. If you have breast implants, you do not need to change your routine medical care or follow-up. Be aware that cases of SCC and various lymphomas (other than BIA-ALCL) in the capsule around the breast implant have been reported. Monitor your breast implants for as long as you have them. If you notice any changes in your breasts or implants, promptly talk to your surgeon or health care provider. If you do not have symptoms, the FDA does not recommend the removal of breast implants solely due to concern related to the risk of developing SCC or various lymphomas. If you have breast implants and experience a problem, the FDA encourages you to file a report through MedWatch, the FDA Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting program. Your report, along with information from other sources, can provide information that helps improve patient safety. Currently, these recommendations do not change or affect the recommendations previously provided by FDA on Breast Implant Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL).
