AlloDerm Complications
Proper recovery is crucial to a breast cancer patient. Breast reconstruction should be a sign of your recovery and return to normalcy, not another distraction from daily life. But if there are post-operative complications because of the products used in your reconstruction, it can lead to further pain and frustration. Although AlloDerm is approved by the FDA, this product has been reported to cause infection in some patients. These infections can result in consequences including:
- Pain at surgical site
- Cost of antibiotics
- Failure of implant
- Additional surgery
If you have suffered through these complications, you may be eligible to receive compensation for the unnecessary cost associated with the pain and expense of AlloDerm failure.
