Objectives: Between the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019, BIA-ALCL and BII completely overturned the market for breast augmentations due to the high media resonance worldwide.
Introduction: BIA-ALCL and BII in Italy have led to a turnaround in the market for breast implants, but they have certainly stimulated research to better understand the pathologies.
Materials / method: the analysis of the world and local Italian case studies have led to the creation of study and consultancy groups for the Italian Ministry of Health.
Results: From the patients' point of view, the fear of these pathologies has greatly diminished, also thanks to the media, which quickly reduced their alarmism. as far as the Italian Ministry of Health is concerned, guidelines have been created for doctors and patients to ensure rapid diagnosis and correct treatment.
Conclusion: Thanks to worldwide cooperation and similar guidelines from scientific societies and the various ministries of health, BIA-ALCL and BII are no longer scary for patients and doctors alike.
