Breast Mesh Lawsuit
Update 2026: We are accepting breast mesh internal bra complication cases.
In 2023, the FDA issued a warning to health care practitioners, stating that NO surgical mesh product — synthetic or biologic — should be used for breast augmentation or breast lifts. The FDA noted that the manufacturer of GalaFLEX – Becton, Dickinson and Company – updated its warnings and precautions to add complications and off-label mesh use concerns. Some plastic surgeons failed to follow the FDA advice and warn their patients that the mesh may cause painful complications, including nerve damage, infection, mesh extrusion or erosion, reconstruction failure, mesh migration, wound breakdown, hemorrhage, adhesions, hematomas, additional surgeries to remove, revise or replace implants.
Breast mesh manufactured to create an internal bra during surgery was designed for extra support in some breast reconstruction, breast lift and breast augmentation procedures. For decades, no breast mesh was ever used during these surgeries. These breast surgeries created support with sutures and stitching to tighten and shape the tissue without adding any mesh implants. The implants have been aggressively marketed by manufacturers 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. Many patients were mistakenly led to believe the mesh would function like a permanent internal bra, supporting the lower breast and preventing bottoming out.
The breast mesh materials were originally developed for hernia repair and not for internal bra support. Breast mesh manufacturers include:
GalaFLEX – Galatea Surgical/Becton, Dickinson and Company
Phasix – C.R. Bard/Becton, Dickinson and Company
AlloMax – C.R. Bard/Becton, Dickinson and Company
