Asked By:Angelforever2 in Al Mazrowiah, Southern Governorate, Bahrain
I am a 29 years old, got textured implants in dec 2014. I have celiac and read about 2 women who got ALCL had implants and celiac and worried that maybe now celiac is related, and women with implans and celiac have a higher risk of ALCL, although this is not mentioned. maybe celiac is common so this is just a coincidence. Is it possible that celiac and breast implant associated ALCL are related ? I am worried sick, is it worth removing my implants ?

Assuming that your implant hasn't ruptured and you're not experiencing a complication such as capsular contracture, your recovery really should not be bad. You will be sore but the fact that your implant is below the muscle will not prolong your recovery in any way. Best of luck.
