Has anyone read the recent articles about increased risk of lymphoma and certain types of implants? Trying to figure out if my implants would be considered the "problem" kind.

    There's an existing thread on it here.

    If your implants are textured implants, they're the type affected by the study; when they were put in, you should have been given a card by your PS that described the brand, size, and serial number on each implant. Those cards usually will mention if they're smooth or textured as well, but if you didn't get one, have since lost them, or the card doesn't mention whether they're smooth or textured, contact your PS to find out if you have smooth or textured implants.
