FDA wants implant problems reported

[Guest guest]

From the current FDA website...

" If you have a problem related to your breast implant and your breast implant

has been approved for marketing, then you should report the problem to your

doctor and ask your doctor to report the problem to FDA. You can also report

your problem to FDA yourself through FDA's MedWatch system or by calling

1-800-332-1088. When you or your doctor makes a report to MedWatch, t he

information is entered into a database that FDA uses to monitor safety trends to

determine if follow-up is needed. If you report the problem yourself to FDA, y

ou will receive an acknowledgement from FDA after we receive your report. You

will be personally contacted only if we need additional information. We

recommend that you keep a copy of the MedWatch form completed by you or your

doctor for your records. "
