I am Post up 8 months breast lift and implants. I know developed an infection on my left breast my surgeon drained the infection today and I am to follow up in 2 days.  I am not happy with my breast at all from the beginning of my surgery I had constant spitting stitches .. On my right breast on the areola I have to  loss of tissue due to a spitting stich that was removed and the would was pretty deep.. anyhow since then I have lost my job of 7 years owing my surgeon $3000.00 and no money coming in at all not even unemployment.   I paid my surgeon a littl over $8000.00 for surgery also had a timmy tuck with spitting stitches. . This entire surgery has been a nightmare.. I did not choose these implants they are super small.. I don't know if there is a problem with my left implant yet if it needs to be changed I would like a more fuller implant, but don't know if my my surgeon is willing being that I still owe him.. Although if my implant is infected he has to change it.. Can someone give me some feedback... I feel bad about the money that I owe but I am also not happy with my breast..  I do plan on paying  my surgeon of course when I start working again , I am a single mom of two.
