An FDA recall on Allergan's Biocell textured implants may affect some cross-fit trainers and yoga instructors in L.A., but only about five percent of breast implants sold in the U.S. are textured, as opposed to smooth.
a voluntary nationwide recall of certain types of textured breast implants on Wednesday due to their cancer risk.
Dr. Gabriel Chiu of star-loved Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Inc. says his office uses about 99 percent Mentor breast implants . Since Chiu's work is almost entirely cosmetic, he doesn't often use textured breast implants, which are mainly reconstructive, he says. The second group of people in L.A. seeking textured augmentation are those with sloped ribs: "One of the problems with smooth implants ... is that with that angulation of their ribs, the implants can slip and fall to the side," Ip says. "A textured implant with more friction on them grab on better. They kind of stay in the same spot; they don't fall as much and they stay locked in.
"Moving forward, I don't think the right move is that all women with textured implants suddenly call their doctors, run in and have their implants removed. I do think as a result of having more knowledge, people can be aware of symptoms of the implant-related disease and be more cautious, but I don't think this warrants any kind of panic," Rahban adds.
