Looking for thoughts and I know we are not medical professions. I had mastectomy last May with direct implants. They were allergen Natrelle smooth silicone implants. I recently developed capsular contracture in one breast and had surgery to remove scar tissue and replace implant. I now see the recall and learned that capsular contracture could be a sign of BIA ACLC. However now that the tissue/fluid is removed there is no way to test for the new cancer. Is there any other test that I can have that could tell me if my contracture was due to ACLC. I realize that my implants are smooth and but on the recall list and I have had them only for one year but I want to be proactive and not wait for lymphoma symptoms before I take action. Should i replace my implants with a different manufacturer. My PS says I have nothing to worry about but im still feeling uncomfortable. I don’t have any other symptoms other than the scar tissue that has been removed. Can I test for BIA ACLC so I feel better. I appreciate any comments. Thank you.
