Allergan Breast Implants

A leading name in the breast implant manufacturing industry, Allergan ventured into the breast implants category in 2006 and is now considered the largest company in its category in the world with a presence in more than 60 countries. The company’s primary markets are the US, Latin America, and Canada as these regions contribute significantly to the overall revenue of the company. Natrelle® is the flagship brand of Allergan but it also sells products through its subsidiaries McGhan and Inamed.

Among the medical fraternity, Allergan is the most preferred name for various products, but recently health regulators have identified a correlation between the company’s Biocell textured breast implants and Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). BIA-ALCL is a rare but treatable kind of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL).
