Can I Have my Silicone Implants That Were Placed S/p Reconstruction After Elective Mast Removed?

I had 4 surgeries in less than a year. The first was the elective mastectomy with expanders. The second was to place the saline implants, however my physician got quite the suprise when he got in there. The allograft on left side was ripped and a giant mess. The next surgery was to replace the leaking right implant d/t my tissue growing into the valve. Leaking again and I went to a different physician, he recommended silicone implants. My breasts look horrible. Scars, lop sided, dimpling.
