Is mesh with a breast implant safe? I’ve read the mesh can be toxic and cause infection easier.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  At times mesh is required in some women's breast procedures to help support the weight of an implant by reinforcing the natural skin tissues.  This is on a case by case basis and must be discussed at length with your surgeon.  Hope this helps.

Mesh is not routinely used in breast implant surgery.  However, if your breasts have a deformity, often the result of previous surgery, then mesh used with the implants may be a great option.  Mesh is generally,a non- toxic material, often a form of plastic that is used to reinforce an area such as the bottom of the breast. 
 Any foreign object that is placed in your body increases the risk of an infection.  This is true of mesh, breast implants, pacemakers, orthopedic hardware, etc...   Discuss the mesh and your concerns with your surgeon and good luck.
