Known Risks
Breast Mesh Complications
In November 2023, the FDA issued a safety communication confirming that no surgical mesh products are cleared or approved for use in breast surgery — including augmentation and reconstruction. Despite this, mesh products have been widely used off-label in "internal bra" procedures.
Infection & Abscess
Bacteria can colonize the mesh surface or implant pocket, leading to chronic infections and abscess formation that resist antibiotics and often require surgical intervention to resolve.
Chronic Pain & Nerve Damage
Patients report persistent pain, burning sensations, numbness, and nerve damage around the chest wall, under the breast fold, and the lower pole — often lasting long after the initial surgery.
Mesh Migration & Erosion
The mesh can shift, detach, disintegrate, or erode through tissue — causing deformity, visible mesh through the skin, and wound breakdown that requires corrective surgery.
Implant & Reconstruction Failure
Mesh complications can undermine the entire procedure, resulting in complete implant loss. A 2024 review found implant loss in roughly 3% of cases involving synthetic mesh in breast surgery.
Tissue Necrosis & Seroma
The mesh can trigger tissue death (necrosis) and chronic fluid buildup (seroma) at the surgical site, compromising healing, increasing infection risk, and leading to long-term deformity.
Revision Surgeries
Studies show roughly 1 in 10 patients require additional surgery to address mesh-related problems, with some needing multiple corrective procedures.
Take Action
Do You Qualify for a Breast Mesh Lawsuit?
You may be eligible to file a claim if any of the following apply to you:
You had surgical mesh placed in the breast region during augmentation, lift, reconstruction, or revision surgery
You developed infection, pain, deformity, seroma, tissue loss, or needed additional surgeries after the mesh was placed
You have medical records documenting the mesh placement and subsequent complications or revision surgeries
You experienced mesh migration, erosion, disintegration, rupture, or visible mesh through the skin
You don't need to know the brand — if you had mesh placed and suffered complications, our team can help identify the product through your medical records

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Breast mesh is surgical mesh placed inside the breast to provide internal support — often called an "internal bra." It is used in breast reconstruction, augmentation, lift, and revision procedures. In November 2023, the FDA issued a safety communication confirming that no surgical mesh products are cleared or approved for use in breast surgery. Lawsuits allege that manufacturers marketed these products for unapproved breast uses without adequately testing them for that purpose or warning patients and surgeons about the serious risks involved.
There is no upfront cost. HSGLaW works on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing unless we recover compensation in your case. The initial case evaluation is completely free and confidential.
If a claim is successful, compensation in breast mesh lawsuits may include medical expenses (such as the initial surgery, treatments for complications, and revision or removal surgeries), lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and damages for permanent scarring or disfigurement. However, every case is different, and outcomes depend on the specific facts of your situation, the severity of your injuries, and the strength of the evidence. No result or particular level of compensation can be guaranteed. We encourage you to contact us for a free evaluation so we can give you an honest assessment of your individual circumstances.
Key evidence includes operative reports and medical records documenting the mesh placement, the type and brand of mesh used (device stickers, lot numbers, or Unique Device Identifiers if available), imaging and physician notes showing complications, and records of any follow-up treatments or revision surgeries. If you don't have all of this documentation, don't worry — our legal team can help you request records from hospitals and surgical centers to build your case.
No. These lawsuits are against the manufacturers of the mesh products, not your surgeon. Consent forms cover general surgical risks but do not release manufacturers from their duty to properly test their products, warn about known defects, and refrain from marketing devices for unapproved uses.
