Breast Mesh Lawsuit Attorneys Cornell and Greene

Surgical mesh has long been used in various medical procedures to provide internal support and reinforcement. In recent years, however, serious safety concerns have emerged regarding certain mesh products used in breast reconstruction and revision surgeries.

Breast mesh lawsuits allege that some manufacturers designed, marketed, and sold defective mesh products that caused severe complications, including chronic pain, infection, implant failure, and the need for additional surgeries.

If you experienced serious complications after breast reconstruction involving surgical mesh, you may have the right to pursue compensation.

What Is the Basis of the Lawsuits?

Plaintiffs allege that manufacturers:

  • Failed to adequately test the safety and long-term durability of their mesh products

  • Failed to warn surgeons and patients about known risks

  • Marketed products as safe and effective despite reported complications

  • Designed products prone to degradation or failure

Medical device companies have a legal duty to ensure their products are reasonably safe and to provide complete warnings regarding potential risks.

When that duty is breached, injured patients have the right to seek justice.

Women who received breast mesh implants have reported serious and sometimes permanent complications, including:

  • Chronic inflammation

  • Infection

  • Implant displacement or failure

  • Severe pain

  • Capsular contracture

  • Mesh erosion into surrounding tissue

  • Delayed wound healing

  • The need for revision or removal surgery

In some cases, patients required multiple corrective surgeries, leading to additional scarring, emotional distress, and financial hardship.

Alleged Health Risks and Complications

  • Breast mesh is a surgical implant material used to support breast implants during reconstruction or revision procedures. It is commonly used after mastectomy or in cosmetic breast revision surgeries to help stabilize implants and reinforce tissue.

    Some products have been manufactured using synthetic materials or biologic scaffolds intended to integrate with the body’s tissue over time.

    Lawsuits allege that certain mesh products were defectively designed, prone to failure, or inadequately tested before being placed on the market.

  • Surgical mesh is used to provide structural support for breast implants, particularly in reconstruction following mastectomy or complex revision surgeries. It is intended to reinforce tissue and help maintain implant position.

  • No. Lawsuits typically focus on specific products or designs that allegedly failed or caused excessive complications. An attorney can review medical records to determine whether a particular product may be involved.

  • Common warning signs include:

    • Persistent breast pain

    • Swelling or redness

    • Fever or signs of infection

    • Implant shifting or visible deformity

    • Hardening of the breast

    • Fluid buildup

    If you experience these symptoms, seek medical care promptly.

  • Hospital and surgical records typically identify the manufacturer and product name. Our legal team can help obtain and review those records.

    Some breast mesh brands include:

    • GalaFLEX

    • FlexHD

    • AlloMax

    • Phasix

    • DuraSorb

    • SurgiMend

    • AlloDerm

    • Strattice

  • You may qualify for a breast mesh lawsuit if:

    • You underwent breast reconstruction or revision surgery involving surgical mesh

    • You later experienced serious complications

    • You required additional surgeries to correct or remove the mesh

    • You suffered ongoing pain, infection, or implant failure

    Even if you are unsure of the exact product used, surgical and hospital records can often identify the device.

    A confidential case evaluation can help determine whether you may have a claim.

    • Medical expenses, including revision surgeries

    • Future corrective procedures

    • Lost wages

    • Pain and suffering

    • Emotional distress

    • Disfigurement or scarring
