Overview
This bill aims to improve patient safety before breast implant surgery by requiring physicians to provide detailed information to patients about the risks, potential complications, and reporting options related to breast implants. Specifically, doctors must offer written or electronic consent forms outlining these details, including information about rare conditions like anaplastic large cell lymphoma and ‘breast implant illness.’ Failure to comply with these requirements could result in disciplinary action against the physician.
