Breast Mesh Lawsuit

You may qualify if you meet all of these criteria:

• You are female.
• You had breast reconstruction, augmentation, or reduction surgery in 2015 or later.
• Galaflex or Phasix mesh was implanted during the breast surgery.
• You first experienced a qualifying complication after the breast mesh was implanted.

Every case depends on the medical records, device information, and timing of the injury.

Qualifying injuries may include one or more serious complications after the breast mesh was implanted:

• Nerve damage
• Infection or abscess
• Capsular contracture, which is hardening of tissue around the implant
• Seroma, or fluid buildup
• Hematoma, or bleeding under the skin
• Mesh migration or displacement
• Skin necrosis, or tissue death
• Reconstructive failure
• Implant rupture
• Explant or revision surgery

The current case review is focused on Galaflex and Phasix mesh used during breast reconstruction, breast augmentation, or breast reduction surgery.

If you are not sure which mesh product was used, your operative report, implant records, hospital records, or surgeon's records may identify the product. Our legal team can help review those records if you do not have them on hand.

Yes. The current criteria focus on breast surgeries from 2015 to the present. The complication also must have happened after the breast mesh was implanted.

For infection or abscess claims, timing can be especially important. The strongest reviews usually look for an infection or abscess that occurred 60 days or more after the mesh was implanted.

Useful records may include:

• Operative reports: records showing the breast surgery and whether Galaflex or Phasix mesh was used.
• Device or implant records: product stickers, device cards, implant logs, or hospital supply records.
• Follow-up records: visits documenting pain, infection, fluid buildup, hardening, migration, rupture, or reconstruction problems.
• Revision or explant records: records showing mesh removal, implant removal, revision surgery, or reconstructive failure.
• Photos or personal notes: documentation of visible changes, wound problems, or the timeline of symptoms.

Possibly. Many people do not know the exact product used during surgery. The best next step is to request the operative report and implant or product records from the surgeon, hospital, or surgery center.

If your records show Galaflex or Phasix mesh and you later experienced a qualifying complication, your claim may be worth reviewing.

Compensation depends on the facts of the case. A claim may seek money for medical bills, revision or explant surgery, lost income, pain and suffering, scarring, and other losses tied to the breast mesh complication.

No result is guaranteed. An attorney can review your surgery records, device information, injuries, and state deadlines to help determine what legal options may be available.

You can start by gathering the date of your breast surgery, the name of the surgeon or facility, any records showing Galaflex or Phasix mesh, and records showing the complication you experienced.
