Comment on “Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma: the first South Korean case”

After the first BIA-ALCL case was reported, all hospitals in Korea stopped using textured breast implants and switched to smooth breast implants. [...]Korean medical insurance does not cover the treatment for any complications of uninsured cosmetic surgery. [...]the medical staff and the Korean Society of Plastic Surgeons requested the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service to cover BIA-ALCL, and it was approved. [...]in our opinion, this should be amended.
