“Internal bra” mesh products are surgical mesh materials used in breast reconstruction, augmentation, and lift procedures to provide internal support. Lawsuits allege these products were introduced and widely used without sufficient clinical testing to ensure their safety in breast procedures specifically.
What the lawsuits allege
The claims center on the use of materials not suited for long-term implantation in breast tissue, high failure rates leading to repeat surgeries, a lack of transparency about risks and complication rates, and aggressive marketing to surgeons and patients. Together, these allegations argue that manufacturers prioritized expanding the market over patient safety.
Who may have a claim
Women who underwent breast reconstruction, augmentation, or lift surgery involving a mesh implant, and who then experienced complications such as infections, implant failure, breast deformity, or chronic pain, may have a claim. Unlike some other mesh litigation, a revision or explant surgery is not required to be evaluated.
