Bill overview
This bill requires doctors in Michigan to provide patients with more detailed information before performing breast implant surgery. Starting January 1, 2026, physicians must discuss specific risks, including potential cancers and ‘breast implant illness,’ and provide patients with information about reporting adverse events and the FDA’s black box warning. The bill also mandates the development of an informed consent checklist to ensure patients are fully aware of the procedure and potential complications.
