Went last year for an explant quote but put it on the back burner as it was rather expensive. Now I'm so mad w/ this recall ~ I've felt like something has been wrong w/ them for a while. The Plastic Surgeon who did them has long since retired and I have NO IDEA where the paperwork would be! Will the manufacturer contact everyone who had them installed and let us know?

Answer: How do we find out if our implants were part of the recall that just came out? My practice documents in each patient record the implant manufacturer name, number of CCs, date of implant insertion, and serial number. This information is used should an implant require removal and replacement. The staff at the plastic surgeon's office that acquired the former practice your PS was associated with should be able to give you a copy of this information. However, records are generally archived for seven years from the date of surgery, but this policy may vary from surgeon to surgeon.

Answer: How do we find out if our implants were part of the recall that just came out? Thank you for sharing your excellent question. I would see if any surgeons took over the practice of yours and maintained your relevant paperwork. Additionally the implant card you should have received from him/her should have the information as to whether it was an Allergan/Natrelle implant and if it was textured. Hope this helps.
