If you received surgical mesh during your breast surgery and experienced complications following implantation, including measurable damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, or revision surgery, you may be eligible to file a claim. An attorney generally reviews medical records and available evidence to determine whether that claim is legally viable.
Procedures commonly involved in current litigation include:
Complications that frequently appear in breast mesh claims include infection, chronic pain, seroma, delayed wound healing, mesh exposure or extrusion, capsular contracture, implant loss, tissue necrosis, and breast deformity requiring corrective surgery. A complication does not necessarily mean that the injury was caused by the mesh, but revision surgery is often good evidence that substantial injury has occurred.
Knowing which product was implanted is an important step, since current litigation has focused on BD products, including the GalaFLEX and Phasix lines, which received updated FDA labeling in 2023 confirming that their safety and effectiveness for breast surgery have not been established. That information can often be found in operative reports, implant logs, or device stickers in the medical chart.
When a procedure happened years ago, eligibility depends on the state's statute of limitations and whether a discovery rule applies. If a patient died from complications tied to breast mesh, surviving family members may be able to pursue a wrongful death claim under state law.
