3 years ago I got breast implants. I was assaulted a week post-op and I developed a capsular contracture in the breast that was injured. The surgeon reassured me that the breast was just taking longer to heal than the other one. Then he retired. I can't get a revision from him, but I can't afford another surgery even with financing.
