What can I do about botched breast reduction (pain, scarring, sagging)?

Dynamic5403
Hi, this surgery has honestly been detrimental to my mental health. I provided many photos. My breast are the most painful things I have to look at Every. Single. Day. In 2017 (21) I had a breast reduction because of terrible back pain I had since middle school. I had the reduction and now my breast are flat, sagging, my nipples, I don’t know what’s going on with them? My left nipple I wish I just lost feeling completely, it hurts and I sometimes get sharp shooting pains through it. The scarring is terrible. What can I do to fix this? Is legal action possible?
