There have been recent reports in the medical literature about the risk of a rare type of lymphoma developing in the capsule surrounding breast implants.

This is known as Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). Overall the risk of BI-ALCL is extremely low and you should not be in any way alarmed.

The risk of BIA-ALCL is one that Mr Stone has warned his patients about since it first became known. For the past ten years or so, Mr Stone has used Nagor implants. Although cases of BIA-ALCL have been reported with these implants, they have not been as numerous as in patients with other types of implant.

If any of Mr Stone’s patients are worried about the risk of BIA-ALCL associated with their implants, and would like to discuss this with him in person, please contact him via Exeter Medical on 01392 35 00 52 or contact us online.
