Bra Mesh Lawsuit

Surgeons have described the use of breast mesh in internal bra procedures as ineffective and potentially dangerous. Plastic surgeons are warning about internal bra mesh products implanted during breast procedures that may cause painful complications for many women. Creating an internal bra during surgery was designed for extra support in some breast lift and augmentation procedures. Support can be created with sutures and stitching to  tighten and shape the tissue without adding any mesh implants.

However, some medical mesh manufacturers have marketed the internal bra implants as tools to help maintain breast shape following breast lifts, augmentations or reconstruction. Many patients were led to believe the mesh would function like a permanent internal bra, supporting the lower breast and preventing bottoming out.

The mesh materials were originally developed for hernia repair and not for internal bra support. GalaFLEX, Phasix, Strattice and AlloDerm implants have been aggressively marketed in recent years as internal support systems. Complications occur when mesh does not incorporate into the tissue and triggers inflammation and infections, contractures and nerve damage that need additional surgeries.
