Hello- I’m 19 and 5’7”. I got a breast lift along with saline implants due to tubular breasts. I had my year post-op appointment last week and the first thing she said was “there is definitely something very wrong here” and diagnosed me with capsular contracture among admitting she didn’t do as good of a job as she could’ve and quoted me $10k to fix it. Should I really be paying another $10k to fix everything when she admits that some of it is her fault?

Your breasts themselves are not tubular, but you do have breast tissue that herniates or extends into your areolae. This is fixable when you do your augmentation with implants, but fat transfers may not be as effective.
