I have new breast implants, and they don’t look exactly how I expected. What happened?

Q. My breast implants might be making me sick. Can someone help me afford medical care or help pay for implant removal?

A. We’re not doctors or lawyers and we don’t provide medical or legal advice, but I can tell you what we know based on speaking with many experts and with women who have had breast implants.

There have been several class action legal settlements to provide compensation to women whose implants ruptured or caused medical problems. The deadlines to receive compensation for certain conditions in some of these settlements have passed, but some programs might still be available. If you are interested, it�s best to call as soon as possible to see if you qualify.

For more information, call 205 252-6784 or 1-888-470-3799 or contact@oplc.org.

It is the Office of Plaintiffs’ Liaison Counsel, which was funded from legal settlements with breast implant manufacturers to help women harmed by implants who want compensation for their medical problems. They will help you in determining if you qualify for assistance, which may amount to thousands of dollars. It is not intended to help you find a lawyer for an individual law suit.
