A majority of cases occurred in women who specifically had Allergan BIOCELL textured breast implants, though some rare instances occurred with other implants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Lyos Plastic Surgery and Dermatology Associates in\nHouston, Texas, we focus on patient safety and do not offer any textured\nimplants, or any product that has a record of causing any illness, least of all\ncancer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lymphoma symptoms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Common symptoms of BIA-ALCL include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lyosmd.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/iStock-1198238598-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Lymphoma Symptoms\" class=\"wp-image-5786 right\" width=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lyosmd.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/iStock-1198238598-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lyosmd.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/iStock-1198238598-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lyosmd.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/iStock-1198238598-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lyosmd.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/iStock-1198238598-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lyosmd.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/iStock-1198238598-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"styled wp-block-list\"><li>Persistent swelling<\/li><li>A lump or mass in the area of your breast implant<\/li><li>Pain surrounding your breast implant<\/li><li>A lump or thickening in the area of the scar\nfrom your implant<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>BIA-ALCL does not always develop after you receive your\nimplant.

If you are experiencing any symptoms of\nBIA-ALCL, it is crucial to get a full evaluation, as treating BIA-ALCL can effective\nwhen the condition is caught early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need to get my textured implant removed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The FDA does not recommend individuals who currently have\ntextured breast implants have them removed, as the risk is quite low. They do,\nhowever, recommend keeping a close watch on any symptoms and receiving an\nevaluation if you notice anything out of the ordinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why choose Dr. Lyos for your breast augmentation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Lyos Plastic Surgery and Dermatology Associates, we put patient safety first.
