Staples utilized in revision for pocket failure (Photo)

JharbaughMK1234
49 yrs, 173 lbs,5’1”. 7 breast surgeries in 3 yrs. Recently found out on X-ray that I have multiple staples from axilla down ribs and across ribs. Nothing on OR report about them. Severe pain since last revision for pocket failure/ caps contraction. Being told nothing can be done but removing implants. Told staples used for bleeders. Ignoring my concern and issues with the staples. Uncertain where to start.
