Why Are Breast Mesh Lawsuits Being Filed?

Breast mesh is used during some breast procedures to provide additional support for implants or weakened tissue. These products may be made from synthetic materials or biologic tissue known as acellular dermal matrix. Lawsuits allege that some patients were not adequately warned about potential risks or that certain products were marketed for breast procedures without sufficient evidence establishing their safety and effectiveness. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has stated that it has not cleared or approved any surgical mesh specifically for use with breast implants or breast reconstruction. The agency has also issued safety communications regarding certain mesh products used in breast surgery. Patients deserve complete information about potential risks before undergoing surgery. When that does not happen, legal action may help hold manufacturers accountable.

Common Breast Mesh Complications

Not every surgical complication results from a defective product. However, breast mesh may be associated with serious complications that deserve further investigation. Potential complications include:

• Chronic breast or chest pain
• Infection
• Seroma or fluid buildup
• Hematoma
• Poor wound healing
• Tissue necrosis
• Mesh exposure or erosion
• Implant displacement
• Capsular contracture
• Implant loss
• Breast asymmetry
• Visible scarring or deformity
• Revision or removal surgery
• Emotional distress
• Reduced quality of life

If you experienced any of these complications, you should speak with an attorney to see if you have a breast mesh lawsuit. Because the time to file lawsuits is often limited by statute, it is important to reach out as soon as possible.

Breast Mesh Lawsuit Update

Breast mesh litigation continues to develop. At this time, there is no nationwide breast mesh class action settlement and no established multidistrict litigation covering all breast mesh claims. Instead, attorneys across the country continue investigating individual cases involving patients who experienced serious complications after breast surgery involving mesh or ADM products. Because every state has different filing deadlines, it is important not to wait if you believe breast mesh contributed to your injuries.

Breast Mesh Products Under Investigation

Breast mesh may be used during:

• Breast reconstruction after mastectomy
• Implant based reconstruction
• Breast augmentation
• Breast reduction
• Breast lift surgery
• Breast revision procedures

Products discussed in public safety communications include certain synthetic mesh products, biologic mesh, ADM products, and scaffold materials used to support breast tissue. You do not need to know the exact manufacturer before contacting Oliver Bell Group. Our team can often help identify the product through your medical records and operative reports.

Who May Qualify?

You should consider a free case review if:

• You received breast mesh during surgery.

What Compensation May Be Available?

If a defective product contributed to your injuries, you may be able to recover compensation for:

• Medical expenses
• Future medical treatment
• Revision surgery
• Lost wages
• Reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Permanent scarring or disfigurement
