Capsular contracture after implant exchange

I had expressed that I had the boob greed after my breast lift and implants 350cc done in Dec 2014. Well, I did the breast exchange implant for 475cc and ended up with a capsular contracture Baker Grade III, 8 months after. It was like all 9f a wudden it was there. Dr. Cruise did the implant exchange in his office which I think was totally wrong and I have this feeling that somehow the implant got contaminated causing the CC.
His staff gave me the options to treat the CC which included a capsulectomy in which I would only pay for the "surgical and anesthesiologist fee". When I told him I was tired of not seeing results with the massage and Montelukast and that I wanted him to do the capsulectomy, he said there must a been an error in the pricing because that surgery was a "big deal" and there was no way he would do it at that price.
He said he would talk to his manager about it because that price list was a huge mistake.
He and his staff are very fake. Coincidently they all go through the same "problems" you have.
Not to mention he also botched the breast lift leaving assymetric areolas.

Got capsular contracture grade III

So after having boob greed, decided to go bigger. 8 months after the surgery, I noticed the deformity I f my breast. Sure enough, I had Baker III capsular contracture. I went back to my Dr. And told me Accolate and Vitamin D will help along with aggresive massage. IT'S ALL A LIE. When you have Baker III or IV, you have to have surgery. But the thing that I hated was that his nurses also "had" at some point that same issue and did recover which was a lie too. They make you feel good by telling you lies.
I had a revision surgery done in Mexico. I will post pictures later.
