FDA Updates Breast Implant Regulations, Adds Boxed Warning

The required warning and checklist will outline symptoms that some patients with implants have experienced including fatigue, joint pain, tiredness, brain fog, and memory loss. It will also outline the potential link between implants and a rare form of immune system cancer known as anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Though it should be noted that textured breast implants are more commonly linked with cancer, specifically the ones produced by Allergan that were voluntarily recalled in 2019.
