In 2019, her Allergan breast implants were recalled after the FDA reported they were causing sickness, cancer, and sometimes death. According to drugwatch.com, "In July 2019, Allergan recalled its Biocell textured breast implants after the FDA had linked them to a rare cancer called breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma, or BIA-ALCL. Most of Allergan's recalled textured breast implants were sold under the Natrelle brand. The FDA advises women with BIA-ALCL to have their implants removed." Melisa's breast implant illness has been masked by her pre-existing MS symptoms, but as soon as she discovered she had "breast implant illness," she arranged to have them removed. Melisa will have a procedure called an "explant" surgery on January 4, 2022, to have her poisonous breast implants removed. Written by Emily Hibard See less
