Am I covered under Allergan warranty for showing symptoms of BIA-ALCL?

Asked By:Resourceful5304 in The New Valley Governorate, Egypt

I did my breast augmentation in 2013 using the currently recalled textured implant from allergen and now I have fluid, capsular contracture and swollen lymph nodes in my MRI. Am I covered under warranty for implant exchange with smooth ones and financial assistance? I did operation overseas in Lebanon. This is my third revision. In the second one they just exchanged with same implant model. I wasn't told by Dr nor allergen that I needed to exchange with smooth. Hence the reoccurring seroma.
