Do I have BIA ALCL? (Photo)

May 15, 2024
Asked By:Resourceful5304 in The New Valley Governorate, Egypt

I exchanged my allergan textured implants with smooth cause I had fluid around my implants. My Dr did the tests in the attachments to check if I have lymphoma. Are these tests enough to make sure I don’t have lymphoma or bia alcl? If yes, do I have it? If further tests are needed, what tests do I need? Thank you!
