Breast Implant Lawsuits Filed Globally
Lawsuits filed globally in court systems due to harm caused by breast implants continues to grow. In the U.S. some early breast implant illness cases were dismissed due to U.S. Federal preemption which essentially protects Class III medical devices once approved for market by the FDA from liability lawsuits. However, one case (Mize v. Mentor Worldwide LLC) passed preemption in part and is proceeding to jury trial.
Further on March 22, 2021 in Philadelphia, the law firm Berger Montague announced that many claims for injuries arising from the recall of Allergan’s Biocell textured implants will now proceed to Discovery, read more here.
Since the FDA’s announcement of textured implants causing BIA-ALCL cancer, BIA-ALCL cases continue to be filed and since textured implants were pulled from markets in Europe and Canada, two Canadian law firms requested to file class action lawsuits against three textured implant manufacturers selling implants in Canada; Mentor, Allergan and Ideal for failing to warn Canadians about the potential of BIA-ALCL cancer. Another Canadian law firm filed a request for a potential class action against Mentor silicone for systemic symptoms caused by Mentor silicone breast implants.

Defective Breast Implants are Viable Cases
Breast implants are warranted to be safe and last a certain amount of time. A warranty is a guarantee that the product will perform in a certain way or will conform to certain standards. If the breast implant is defective and ruptures, leaks or becomes deformed before it’s warranty period expires and causes you harm or the breast implant is deemed to be safe and causes you a serious disease such as BIA-ALCL you may have a case.

Hi! I had explanted 2/17/2022 due to chronic breast pain. I paid upfront and now trying to get reimbursement from BCBS of KS. I have 4 letters from physicians on my behalf stating medical necessity. However due to policy “cosmetic” they have denied it once. Denied my internal appeal. And now I lm looking for help for my external and last appeal?
Hi Christy,
Yes, unfortunately some policies will not pay for explant if your implants were placed for cosmetic reasons. Have you read your insurance policy, the EOC – Evidence of Coverage page should explain if this is the case. Also please review our Insurance and Explant page which my give you some extra information: https://www.healingbreastimplantillness.com/insurance-explants/.
I also have BCBS with the same caveat for only paying for explant if they were placed after mastectomy regardless of the pain and capsular contracture that I am experiencing. They do however pay for medications for men for erectile/impotency issues and I am trying to understand how being able to get an erection is medically necessary or life sustaining in any way??
