Safety guidance on breast implants is not static. Regulators issue updates as new evidence emerges, and staying informed is part of long-term implant care.
Where updates come from
- MHRA — UK device alerts, guidance and registry reporting (for example on BIA-ALCL).
- FDA — influential US labelling and safety communications.
- Professional bodies — BAAPS, BAPRAS and the Association of Breast Surgery.
Staying informed
Significant updates have included guidance on textured implants and BIA-ALCL, and communications on rarer conditions such as BIA-SCC. We summarise key changes in plain English. See MHRA updates and FDA updates.
