Happy new year 2024! I created this episode in the hope that it will reach women who are considering breast implants before they go through with the surgery, so they can make an informed decision, as we know this information is not covered in detail when we are seeing surgeons. Here are the links to the topics covered today: USA Black Box Warning on breast implants: https://www.bmj.com/content/375/bmj.n2639#:~:text=Risks%20and%20complications&text=The%20boxed%20warning%20now%20tells,which%20may%20require%20more%20surgery.%E2%80%9D Breast implant associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL): ​​https://www.tga.gov.au/products/medical-devices/breast-implant-hub/breast-implant-associated-cancer-consumer-information Breast implant related squamous cell carcinoma (BIA-SCC): https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/safety-communications/update-reports-squamous-cell-carcinoma-scc-capsule-around-breast-implants-fda-safety-communication Breast seroma: https://implanthealth.co.uk/understanding-seroma-fluid-a-common-concern-around-breast-implants/ Breast implant infection: https://implanthealth.co.uk/breast-implant-infection/ Capsular contracture: https://implanthealth.co.uk/capsular-contracture/ Breast implant malposition: https://implanthealth.co.uk/breast-implant-malposition/  Breast implant ruptures: https://implanthealth.co.uk/breast-implant-rupture/ Breast implants are not lifetime devices and ABDR data: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/implants/Pages/breast-implants.aspx#:~:text=breast%20implants%20are%20not%20intended,common%20complications%20that%20can%20occur  Heavy metals in breast implants: https://lauramilesmd.com/breast-implant-illness-heavy-metals/ Silicone implant ban in the US: https://slate.com/technology/2022/06/breast-implant-illness-what-is-it-cause-treatment-science.html I would like to thank the amazing women who responded to my call out on the “what we wish we knew” section of this episode. Your thoughts and experience will reach women across the world and no doubt change lives.

Millions of women across the globe have undergone breast augmentation using a medical device called a breast implant. This is done for reasons such as cosmesis, sometimes called enhancement of the breast, but also for trauma to the chest wall or for oncological reasons meaning breast cancer. Any surgery is not without risks. Using a medical device like a breast implant is not different. This is the focus of our discussion on this episode of the DiepCJourney podcast. My guest is a leading expert in the field. We are going to discuss the medical definition, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment BIA/ALCL. This stands for breast implant associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma. It is an uncommon form of ALCL. I am speaking to Dr. Mark Clemens. After receiving his Medical Doctorate from Pennsylvania State College of Medicine, Dr. Clemens completed his Plastic Surgery residency at Georgetown University. In 2010, he came to the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas where he completed a fellowship in Microvascular Reconstructive Surgery. Dr. Clemens is an active researcher whose interests include BIA-ALCL, long term implant outcomes, robotic-assisted, microvascular, and reconstructive surgery of the breast. He is the author of the book, Phoenix Rising: Empower & Transform Through Breast Reconstruction. I am honored to list this book on the DiepCJourney Resources tab under Books.

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma, also called BIA-ALCL, is a rare type of cancer of the immune system that can develop in the scar tissue capsule and fluid surrounding a breast implant. In some cases, it can spread throughout the body. BIA-ALCL is curable in most patients if it's diagnosed early and treated appropriately, but a small number of women have died from the illness. Listen to the episode to hear Dr. Zafar explain: what we currently know about BIA-ALCL and its causes treatments for BIA-ALCL the differences between the three types of capsulectomies available reconstruction options for women who have implants removed

Een borstvergroting kan de levenskwaliteit van een vrouw een mooi duwtje in die rug geven. Echter, enkel indien dit een weloverwogen keuze is om de juiste reden. In deze aflevering gaan plastisch chirurgen Dr. Margot Den Hondt en Dr. Nicholas Wilssens dieper in op de indicaties voor deze operatie. Ze bespreken de verschillende soorten implantaten (water- versus siliconen gevuld, rond versus anatomisch, boven of onder de spier geplaatst). Ze geven ook meer uitleg welke instructies je na de ingreep dient te respecteren. Goed geïnformeerd zijn voor een operatie, betekent ook weten wat er kan mislopen. Ze geven meer uitleg bij de termen Breast Implant Illness en BIA-ALCL.Voor meer info over een borstvergroting kan je terecht op https://www.plastischechirurgielimburg.be/borstvergrotingLuister je mee?Meer informatie over Dr. Wilssens en Dr. Den Hondt vind je op www.plastischechirurgielimburg.be.Volg Dr. Den Hondt en Dr. Wilssens via:- Instagram: @art_in_surgery- Facebook: @art.in.surgery

Over time, we've seen the standard of "beauty" shift when it comes to breast augmentation.  In 2021, "natural" is in, and the "adult entertainer" look is out.  Regardless of what look you are going for, the internet is full of recommendations and opinions on how to get the result you want.  This means YOU, the patient, feel like you have to make a ton of decisions that are your responsibility.  Feelings of overwhelm , confusion, and anxiety about this operation are the result.  In this episode, we'll explore the ins and outs of breast augmentation and the role patients play during consultation through recovery. We'll also discuss implant types, shapes, textures, and placement - why certain combinations yield different results - and why your final outcome (not the different implant, incision, and shape choices) should be your main focus going into your consultation.In this episode, we cover: Implant Type: The pros and cons of saline and silicone implants and how to determine the best option. (03:19) Implant Shape: An overview of round and anatomic implant shapes and how rotation may impact the decision to go with one or the other. (06:39) Implant Profile: Profiles can go from low to ultra high, but the most common is the moderate plus profile. (08:23) Implant Texture: How smooth and textured implants differ and a brief look at BIA-ALCL, also known as breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma. (10:08) Implant Position: Patients either have over the muscle or under the muscle placement. The combination of texture and position will also affect the capsular contracture rate. (14:01) Incision Choices: A look at inframammary, periareolar, transaxillary, and TUBA incisions and why inframammary and periareolar are recommended. (18:56) Pre-consultation: How to prepare for your breast augmentation consultation and what to ignore when researching online. (22:10) Consultation: During your consultation, patients and surgeons discuss goals, 3d photos are taken, and a digital simulation of the surgery is performed to narrow down the implant size and profile. (29:48) Surgery and recovery: For most patients, avoiding activity during recovery is the hardest part! The key to a long-term, stable breast shape and size, is avoiding those urges and following the recommended recovery guidelines.

In medical circles, we say, “When you hear hoofbeats, look for horses, not zebras,” as a reminder that when people present with a given set of symptoms, the diagnosis is generally something common. But sometimes it IS a zebra, and patients sometimes DO have a rare condition like the one we're exploring in this episode—breast implant associated lymphoma or BIA-ALCL. On this episode of Inside the Lab, our hosts Dr. Dan Milner and Ms. Kelly Swails are joined by Dr. Kirill Lyapichev, MD, Molecular Genetic Pathology Fellow at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, and soon-to-be Hematopathology Director at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, and Dr. Deniz Peker, MD, Associate Professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, to discuss breast implant associated ALCL. Dr. Lyapichev shares the history of breast implants in general and BIA-ALCL specifically, walking us through two case studies of the entity with very different outcomes. Dr. Peker describes her approach to diagnosing breast implant associated ALCL, and our panelists explain the clinical signs associated with the rare condition. Listen in for insight on the treatment options available to patients and learn what pathologists need to know about the epidemiology of BIA-ALCL.  Topics Covered  · Two contrasting case studies of patients with breast implant associated ALCL· What we know about the epidemiology of BIA-ALCL and its relationship with chronic inflammation· Why BIA-ALCL is considered a very rare entity· Diagnosing BIA-ALCL and hesitations around making a diagnosis based on cytology alone· The role molecular clonality test plays in diagnosing BIA-ALCL and how common clonality is in published cases of the entity· How to recognize the clinical signs of breast implant associated ALCL· Insight on the history of breast implants in general and BIA-ALCL specifically· The excellent prognosis for patients diagnosed with BIA-ALCL in its early stages (and why reconstructive surgery patients with the condition are caught earlier than cosmetic cases)  · What treatment options are available for patients with breast implant associated ALCL· The latest developments in BIA-ALCL and why pathologists need to be familiar with it Connect with ASCP ASCPASCP on FacebookASCP on InstagramASCP on Twitter Connect with Dr. Lyapichev Dr. Lyapichev on TwitterDr. Lyapichev on LinkedIn Connect with Dr. PekerDr. Peker on TwitterDr. Peker at Emory Winship Cancer Institute Connect with Dr. Milner & Ms. SwailsDr. Milner on TwitterMs. Swails on Twitter Resources Thomas Cronin & Frank GerowInside the Lab in the ASCP Store

Dr. Martin and Amy dive into what we know about the recall, what the risks are, and what the future holds for textured implants.

Quite often what first comes to mind when thinking about breast surgery is breast implants or women seeking breast surgery for cosmetic reasons. However, with 1 in 8 women in Australia are being diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime and in 2018 breast cancer still remained the most common cancer women suffer from worldwide. Many women around the world everyday are undergoing breast surgery due to being diagnosed with breast cancer. For many women battling breast cancer they are also faced with making decisions about breast reconstruction and breast implants when a plastic surgeon may require to remove a breast to treat or prevent breast cancer. As well as, how best to restore the shape of the breast after needing to have a mastectomy. Breast surgery is major surgery and it is vital women have credible information to read and listen too to help their process of making an informed decision. Dr Mark Lee is a highly respected specialist plastic surgeon at St John of God Hospital, Subiaco who specialises in asethetic surgery of the face, breast and body. Dr Mark Lee helped to answer many questions about breast reconstruction and the vary types of reconstructive surgical procedures now available. As well as, he shed some light on breast implants and in particularly he assisted to explain the most recent concerns about textured breast implants and their associated risk to a rare type of cancer of the immune system (BIA-ALCL).

While textured breast implants were once used due to their diminished risk of a tight scar capsule, they’ve recently been linked to a rare form of cancer: breast implant anaplastic-associated large-cell lymphoma, or BIA-ALCL. Plastic and Reconstruction Surgeon David Yonick, M.D., discusses the use of these implants, and who might be at risk.

Have you ever heard of Breast Implant Illness? If not, you are not alone. I had not heard of it either until few friends of mine publically announced their intention to have “explant” surgery after they started to suffer from inexplicable health challenges over the past few years.

I came across hundreds of stories just like Michelle’s and I strongly feel that this is a topic that women need to be better informed about, especially in light of the FDA stepping forward last month to notify the public that “individuals with breast implants have a risk of developing breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma, or BIA-ALCL, a type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (cancer of the immune system).” Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures done in the United States.
