Are Breast Implants Causing Lymphoma?
If you have breast implants, whether silicone or saline, you may soon hear the buzz about a possible link between breast implants and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), a very rare type of cancer. The FDA is aware of approximately 60 cases of ALCL in women with breast implants worldwide (Up to 10 million women worldwide have breast implants)
ALCL is not a breast cancer, instead it involves cells of the immune system found in the fluid surrounding breast implants or in the scar tissue (capsule) surrounding the breast implant. 
The FDA is NOT recommending asymptomatic women with breast implants to have them removed. If however, a woman with breast implants has swelling or pain around the implant, they should see their plastic surgeon for evaluation. Women should continue to monitor their implants and obtain regular breast screening evaluations.
The FDA and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons are establishing a registry of ALCL patients who have breast implants to better understand the association of breast implants and lymphoma.

4D Imaging System: Visualize Your Anticipated Breast Augmentation
One of the most challenging aspects of breast augmentation is determining the size and shape of breast implants that will fit your body, as well as give you the result you desire. Patients always want to know “How will I look?”. Now, it is possible for you to actual visualize your anticipated final form with specific breast implants. Working with engineers and software experts in Silicon Valley, Dr. Maxwell has invented and developed a state-of-the-art 4-D Imaging System that is the most advanced in aesthetic surgery.
In addition to designing breast implants used today (Natrelle collection from Allergan), Dr. Maxwell pioneered current concepts used in breast analysis and aesthetic enhancement years ago, when he developed the “Biodimensional System, ” utilizing breast measurements, implant dimensions and tissue analysis to better plan breast augmentation and reconstruction. The new 4-D imaging system he is now introducing, better known as “Precision Light Breast Analysis”, sets a new standard in the breast aesthetic consultation. Now, you can see how YOU will look with specific implants! While this is not to be implied as a warranty of the surgical result, it does provide a visual communication aid for you to give Dr. Maxwell, allowing you to participate visually and actively in decisions that will affect your own body. In fact, the overwhelming satisfaction of patients who have utilized this system has led them to ask: “How did plastic surgeons do breast augmentation consultations before this system was developed?”
In addition to outcome simulations, the “Precision Light” 4-D Imaging System captures all breast measurements, volume analysis, and bone contour irregularities, enabling better surgical planning, to produce better outcomes.
